Re: Was I hallucinating? Totally OT, perhaps relevant

Hi Colin, It’s nice to know they have set up a nice way of handling things. Two questions come to mind though: 1. Can hackers get around the method they are using? 2. Should we really believe that they are doing what they say they are doing, or are they really listening all the time,

I frequently get targeted ads after just having off-line conversations. They ARE listening! On Tue, Nov 14, 2017 at 10:55 AM, Colin Holgate via use-livecode < use-livecode@lists.runrev.com> wrote: > I was at Google for meetings last week, some of which was with the Google > Home and also

Re: Was I hallucinating? Totally OT, perhaps relevant

I was at Google for meetings last week, some of which was with the Google Home and also Assistant teams. They have the same need as Siri, and I imagine that they solve the problem in the same way. For Google, they are always listening for “ok google”, and Apple are listening for “hey Siri”.

If Apple was doing data collection via Siri always on and feeding the data to Amazon, that would be a huge news story. Americans would FREAK OUT! Bob S > On Nov 10, 2017, at 19:18 , Kay C Lan via use-livecode > wrote: > > I have an iPhone with Siri usually

Perhaps you dreamed of Jeannie ;-) Was she there? (The NBC series was very popular in Germany, also in the 90's). ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription

Re: Was I hallucinating? Totally OT, perhaps relevant

I would need to look, but I recall Apple making a big deal about Siri doing the wake up completely on device and not transmitting anything unless actually doing a query. This was around the time the 6 or 6S came out with the always listening option. (Of course I do occasionally wake her up

Re: Was I hallucinating? Totally OT, perhaps relevant

My only contact with Alexa was at Christmas, 2 yrs ago. I don’t activate “hey, Siri” on any of my devices. I’ll have to check my Kindle Fire, tho but I’m pretty sure I didn’t turn it on. I’ll update this group if I find anything interesting. Best, Bill William Prothero http://es.earthednet.org

Bob, No I don’t. But this did get me thinking about the spyware developed to listen in on people’s smart phone microphone without the owner being logged in. Especially by intelligence agencies, but who would be interested in a retire Santa Barbara faculty member. I will get on bitdefender’s
