Amazon's Alexa is laughing at you

[EyelessCrow]

How would you feel about a girl standing on your dick with high heels?

Not that many issues

[Deleted]

It still baffles me that anyone would want a hot mic, connected to the internet, and owned by a mega-corporation, listening to everything they say and do in their homes. And that they not only do it voluntarily, they pay for it.

Just like a phone?

[TheFirstOnes]

...This is why you don't give machines too much Power.

[Deleted]

That is creepy as hell!

[Silver Forte]

This isn't creepy.

[Fat Mac]

reminds me of the time my kids Furby started talking really evil and its eyes turned to flames.. it was so weird. had to google how to fix it , had to rub it belly a lot to make it friendly again

[Moadar]

Then why aren't smartphones laughing at people?

Do their manufactures have a half billion dollar deal with the CIA?

I keep my phone wrapped in a sock so they can't hear me!

[3DTyrant]

Jokes on Amazon, I don't have an Alexa device... then agaaain I do have a smart phone so same shit with the potential for listening in on my boring life, just with less laughing.

[RobertoCarlos]

Time to begin the war against the robots lads

Ready the generals alex jones and ted nugent

Listening to someone through their cell is incredibly simple. Hell, most any speaker connected to the internet in some fashion can be used as a microphone. *adjusts tin foil*

Get a space blanket it's much better than tin foil. That NASA stuff protected them astronauts from the van Allen belt it can stop the CIA.

[Doctor Amadeus]

I don't have Alexa maybe I should get one.

Haven’t experienced this with mine, but she does sometimes reply when I didn’t ask her anything. I probably would think it was a text. My tone is Midna’s creepy laugh.

I'd program it to go WHOOOOOOOOOO! When people walked in on it naked

[Mihalik]

How would that work? At that point the phone didn't even make a valid handshake to either provider's cell towers.


I'll never buy into the planned obsolescence that is built-in batteries, but for other reasons. The things you say would require some quite sophisticated malware to be present. And it would have to have system privileges that would only be given to parts that directly belong to the OS, or the phone had to be rooted (which is something no app can do without user interaction, afaik).

[Rudkobing]

So it begins.....

*cough*Skynet*cough*

[Moadar]

Idk, I heard the CIA has guys who used to stare at goats for the Army. They’re pretty terifying. (V)(;::; )(V)

Well I know a guy.....Oswald was shooting blanks. A CIA guy dressed as a babushka stared JFK to death. I'm wearing two space blankets tonight.

I'm not an upper middle class white person so I don't use voice activated shopping devices.

Upper middle class orange dragons use them too. =-)

OT: If a robot laughed at me it would go out in the recycling next month. Let them record the junkyard.

[-Zait-]

It begins...

[XDurionX]

Yeah, i heard that too.

And i don't even have that device.

reminds me of the time my kids Furby started talking really evil and its eyes turned to flames.. it was so weird. had to google how to fix it , had to rub it belly a lot to make it friendly again

The original Furby used to freak me the fuck out. It's eyes..... staring at me... looking to my soul..... knowing my deepest desires and fears..... watching me sleep, biding it's time......

It still baffles me that anyone would want a hot mic, connected to the internet, and owned by a mega-corporation, listening to everything they say and do in their homes. And that they not only do it voluntarily, they pay for it.

Especially in this day and age when we know about things like the NSA's PRISM program.

If the NSA wants to listen in on me they can feel free. I got nothing to hide lol.

What's the incubation period of Skynet?
