Speaking of which, Renee's sister bought us an Amazon Echo for Xmas. I'm already paranoid having my phone monitor audio for "OK Google". To make me feel better, I leave the ProjectM live wallpaper on to occupy the microphone. I can't even imagine *wanting* Amazon to listen to my house on a continual basis. It seems they fixed the physical access crack that allowed listening in: https://www.wired.com/story/amazon-echo-wiretap-hack/ But I suppose more exploits are on the horizon: https://thehackernews.com/2017/11/amazon-alexa-hacking-bluetooth.html
I'm still due a free Google Home, offered with the purchase of my phone. Pfft. I imagine claiming it and locking it inside a box with some speakers constantly streaming something like Justin Beiber ... or maybe Celtic Frost: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dW6RXTjm4iA On 01/02/2018 03:48 PM, Marcus Daniels wrote: > but adding in speech patterns or even higher-level personality signatures. -- ☣ uǝlƃ ============================================================ FRIAM Applied Complexity Group listserv Meets Fridays 9a-11:30 at cafe at St. John's College to unsubscribe http://redfish.com/mailman/listinfo/friam_redfish.com FRIAM-COMIC http://friam-comic.blogspot.com/ by Dr. Strangelove
