This is my personal blog, which is about news in general. we have a collaboration, with Mashable. my blog It's called ''Find a way out of reality'' why?, I ask you that question. find a way to escape reality.
Wow, lame. Getting tired of companies pulling this crap, changing how things work after you bought them. AI isn't what people think it is, and goes to show you how much the companies who act this way really think about their customers. Any thought of sensible regulation just died recently too.
“"We are reaching out to let you know that the Alexa feature ‘Do Not Send Voice Recordings’ that you enabled on your supported Echo device(s) will no longer be available beginning March 28, 2025," the email reads. "As we continue to expand Alexa’s capabilities with generative AI features that rely on the processing power of Amazon’s secure cloud, we have decided to no longer support this feature."”
We have decided that your voice recordings are of immense value in training our AI, and we never actually cared about your stupid privacy in the first place.
So “If users continue to make Amazon delete recordings, they will also lose access to features their devices had by default when they were purchased. “ Mmmm erm excuse me why am I loosing features that I already had when I bought the device for its features. Time to organise and request refunds
As a US general, I have to enforce the law of irresistible charm, and your profile picture has committed a serious offense! It's been identified as the primary suspect in capturing my attention for an extended period of time. I’m left with no choice but to mandate a friendship sentence. Your captivating charm might just be the most wanted weapon of mass friendship! I'll need a friend request from you as evidence to close this case. I look forward to having a law-abiding friend like you in my circle!
My honest and sincere apologies for invading your privacy abruptly. Well I was scrolling down on some pages on here when I came across your profile, I was fascinated and became interested in knowing you. I tried sending you a friend request but to no avail, can you please add me up so we can talk more on messenger, thank you 🙏🏻 if you also don’t mind and wish we could be friends.

Since I already have Google Home I guess my Echo Show will be turned off. Tired of buying things and little by little giving up my privacy. What’s it coming to Tesla has every right to salvage your title if they feel it’s been in a severe crash, Amazon saying we have absolutely no choice about our Amazon devices recording what ever we say to it. Slowly we’re are loosing everything that makes us individual. Soon AI will be much more than a conversation.
Want to help mess up companies who try to do this stuff? Let's all make a converted effort to regularly ask Alexa so many things we do NOT care about to throw Amazon off!
Yeah, seriously. If you have an android phone, EVERYTHING you have ever said was tracked. Not, OK Google, what is the ...? I mean everything.
Don't believe me ... sneak you friends phone into a discreet area and repeatedly say something like,'best treatment for genital warts' twenty times or so and ask about the ads he starts seeing...
Lol l they are not taking away your personalities or what makes you an individual and taking a photo doesn't steal your soul. It's funny to see the technophobes overreact to new technologies. The March of the luddites never ends.
As the population of the world grows technological advancements provide a more efficent way for government and corporations to observe,listen , analyze, as well condition us .Let' s face the fact that we are constantly being socially groomed by people, various organizations , the media, special interest groups a never ending list of the usual and unusual suspects....
Let's face the fact that we don't have to purchase privacy invading devices and place them in our homes. Agency and volition are a practice, not just fancy words.
It seems 1984 was prophetic just a few decades later than in the book. We're all setting up Big Brother with smart speakers and cameras everywhere. Now AI will record our every word.
Pull the plug on all so-called smart home devices. We lived without them before and we can do so again. At this rate, democracy won't matter because corporations will keep records of everything we say and use that knowledge to keep us in line i.e. blackmail/extortion. I detest AI. And I am NOT a chatbot!
I guess you haven't noticed but this is taking place while the right is in charge. It was during a liberal administration that privacy laws were enacted severely limiting what smart speakers could record or export. Your dear leader, Musk, Bezos, Zuckerberg, and Sergey Brin put a quick end to every law and regulation protecting individuals.
Brilliant, now get rid of your TV's, computers, phones, cars and other electronics, wear your foil hat and you'll be a safe as a kitten at it's mother's teet.
A lot of anger in the comments, but most people didn't have this turned off in the first place. Also, if you have a phone on you... it's doing the same thing.
You can go to Alexa settings and tell it not to save recording once it process the request it delete it your request so you do not have to worry about your recording being save on there server.
I don't understand how you can say that its not about deleting a recording atleast to me its about them saying amazon workers will do what ever they want with the private conversations recording etc.. privacy been key
What do i think?! Seriously?? This is a joke i sound like a lunatic by now because i can't believe it,its like a scifi movie i grew up with... unbelievable but oh well guess we have a choice i already deleted alexa fro. Phone and we took all our echoes and threw them in garbage...thats what we think and many of our family members doing same...
Got mine so me and my mother could play music. She was not tech savvy, and it was very helpful to her. She passed, and I took back hers to use on another level of my house to play music. But this stuff is getting creepy. I am not even certain Amazon does not record conversations in the house regardless of what it says.
Disconnected mine years ago. Came free as part of a promotion but never found it useful. Couldn't set it up when I changed a password and decided it didn't matter anyway.
Ummmm because when we bought them obviously 🙄 we had no idea it was going to become this ... if we did many not just us wouldn't have bothered what part of your personal private conversation been recorded sent to some random human employees don't you understand?
I never fully believed that Alexa doesn't record and share data with Amazon, etc, so I've never used Echo or other related products.
But, of course, every search on Google, every comment on Facebook, every purchase on Amazon, and every URL submitted to your ISP is already used to track, analyze, and market you - so this new policy probably makes little difference.
I had never enabled they feature in the first place so this doesn't affect me. They can listen to me say "Alexa what's the temperature" all day and do whatever they want with it.
If we fight among ourselves over ridiculous political claims such as dem vs rep, or it's Trump's fault, things like that, then we are doing what Amazon wants, they want you right to privacy abolished, this is bad for ALL OF US, you will be told about how the recordings are secured and encrypted and other stuff, but do some research and see how that's worked out in the past with other companies doing things like this, RING for instance, your recordings will be available to workers who have access to the recordings, and you better believe that some of those employees have no morals, they will try to get dirt on anyone they can, where whether it's for fun with their fellow workers trying to get the best juicy recordings, and yes some will try to get dirt on someone and try to make money from it, remember, these echos are in bedrooms. The only way to stop this is by all of us sticking together and doing business with other companies, and all of us trying to get companies to build a new business with these type of products that will have our privacy interest in mind. This needs to be taken to court by all of us. We own the items , we own the places they are in, we pay the wifi bill, they own nothing once you buy the product. I think we ALL need to see where President Trump really stands, evening needs to contact his govt email and ask him to sign something to stop this, if we all join together, then all politicians will have to come together to stop this, or we can do nothing and?
I'm certainly glad that I haven't subscribed to the Amazon Echo. In today's world having a corporation have control of everything that I say in my home is a little bit too invasive.
I have a sneaking suspicion that MAGA will have easy access to the recordings and use it for surveillance. If you speak english with an accent, if you speak a foreign language, that will get you on Trump's deportation list. If you mention Trump's name, ... etc., etc.
You have got to be kidding me , do you even know what you are talking about? Facebook, Amazon, and Old Twitter all are against Trump and maga, this is being done to invade everyone's privacy, this isn't a dem vs rep thing. That's how they get this done, by making us fight each other while they trash your privacy, and YES , even your recordings will be listened to, not buy Trump or maga, but mostly by workers who have access that's trying to get dirt on someone
When in doubt, zoom out. Previously they wanted to control us by censorship: what we say and post- now they want us to sing like song birds- they want access to our inner monologue, voice stress, 140 facial recognition points, desires, kinks, lies, etc… it’s not about what you think are innocent ramblings… it’s about knowing what you will do/think based on the terabytes of info they have on you. Best predictor of behavior is your past- be afraid, be very afraid
These are Amazon-subsidized data gathering devices, and always have been.
Joke's on them--I had been trying to figure out how to use other features on the thing. I now will revert to use voice commands to ask what time it is and to play music only. Amazon gets to know what kind of music I play.
Alexa+ is available on only 3 devices at launch: the 5, 8, and one other Show, with an announcement of other devices to have the feature, but zero confirmation on release dates. I built my smart home on Alexa. I've version 1 hardware. It's going on eBay and I'm going to Apple.
To have allowed this technology into your lives in the first place shows poor judgement. What's difficult for those of us who've always seen the danger of these devices is that we're outnumbered by the rest of you who are not as astute. Most will go on giving away their privacy, and by doing so you're giving away my privacy too. It took a lot of gullible people to put our once free society in such a mess. It will take a revolution with a great death toll to win back what you have already given away.
I've never heard of a Faraday bag. I only just started seriously looking into protecting myself beyond the basic anti-malware, virus protection, and making necessary changes to my device's privacy settings. [ Then I saw the changes being made to our now toothless cyber security agency by current admin]

WE NEED A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT.!! WHO"S WITH ME. FOR REAL!! OUR PRIVACY DOESNT SEEM TO MATTER TO ANYONE ANYMORE! THEY CAN USE THIS AGAINST US IN MANY WAYS!! IF NO CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT, IM GETTING RID OF ALL MY ALEXA PRODUCTS!! WE DIDNT HAVE THEM BEFORE AND WE SURVIVED!!
"there isn’t anything anyone can do about it."... Yes there is. Don't use the Amazon Echo feature, or anything like it. Somehow you managed to get by before it was invented and foisted on us. Whaddaya bet you can get by without it again?
You would be a fool to have Alexa, Google, or smart devices in your home especially now! Seeing how Trump govt is trying to quash all dissent it’s to dangerous! People are disappearing even citizens! They are kidnapping people who speak up for immigrants and LGBTQ. Pay attention! Citizens are being detained! Protect yourself from invasive means of listening to your and your families conversations. We are headed for a N. Korean situation where you may be snatched up for criticism of the Trump regime! Dangerous times!!
i think this is a good idea bc amazon can send little by little political information to crazy nazi MAGA people and get them to rethink their ways. i welcome this.
Oh Hell No!!!

ReplyDeleteI have never, nor will I ever, own an Alexa or an Echo. I don’t trust these companies to not use information captured through these devices.
ReplyDeleteThey capture enough information through my phone. I’ll be damned if I’m going to put little spy devices throughout my house as well.
The smart TV’s are just as bad. Hence why I don’t have a TV in my bedroom, where I spend majority of my time.
Agreed! Turn them off in ur TV’s too…

ReplyDeleteI immediately turn off Siri and anything like it on my Apple devices.

Responses that require AI and can't be run on the local device, will go to the Cloud where it has more computing power. Hardly shocking.

DeleteA lot of anger in the comments, but most people didn't have this turned off in the first place. Also, if you have a phone on you... it's doing the same thing.
ReplyDeleteI use a VPN and private browser. That makes it tougher. With Echos, you cannot take those kind of steps.
DeleteI will be unplugging Alexa now.
