This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
My car with Google assistant interrupted my conversation with my girlfriend yesterday and started giving me a haiku very loudly for no reason. I guess it was listening and thought we said haiku...
At least it made us laugh. But technology is ridiculous right now. So much shit we don't want or need.
Even more scarier: it’s listening when you don’t know or want to
It has to do that to know when you say a keyword like "hey Google". I just wonder what other keywords it's listening to and using to serve ads or profile me as a user.
With a username like that, I just noticed, one would think you wouldn’t use such services. In 1984 it wasn’t a choice, you made that choice
Apt username.

All new things always have an intelligence aspect to it:
We have seen the step by step dance into dystopia for decades now. Tech is only improving our society as a side effect of monitoring people or charging more money from people.
This is why I occasionally send close friends obviously stupid messages with a ton of keywords, to throw some more noise into the surveillance aperatus.
