poorly_timed_nazi: This is the start of something bigger. Once the echo was released, everyone was freaking out thinking that 1984 was going to start. However, once it blew over Google and Apple both released their own echo type devices once it become socially acceptable. Once this product is released, within a few months Google and Apple will also release their own devices. All it takes is one Amazon programmer hired by the NSA to add a back door to a software update and the NSA has access to video and sounds in your house. It’s the easiest way to have complete access to American households, and it wouldn’t take any work at all to have a programmer add a backdoor to the source code.

TheLonelyDevil91: Serious who the fucks buy this stuff? How useful is it to everyday life for you to risk your privacy for it.

dagonn3: The questions are good.

*Is this NSA certified?*

pbrettb: wtLiteralF? “Optimized to take pictures of your outfits”, with social media and AI to help make suggestions about your personal style. I’m guessing that this is for those people who put 50 duck-pout selfies in their facebook pictures? And don’t care about the eye of HAL watching everything they do.

Aye_or_Nay: No.

SunflowerInKashmir: that seems like a dumb way to get into people’s homes, who the hell is gonna buy that. it’s pointless.
