Just saying, paranoia is sometimes not paranoid if you got smart devices in your home, someone is always listening

Yeah but there was a murder that Alexa recorded and Amazon refused to release it as evidence in the trial.

We have like 3 alexa’s at my parents house.

It’s scary cause I am really intrigued by talking devices and would really think it nice if they developed a sophisticated one that you could converse with. But the catch will always be that you bug your own house.

It is kind of scary that five years ago this would be moved to unusual beliefs. Now, people actually seek these things out!

With Alexa most the things you ask her she says “Hmm, I’m not sure what you mean by that” or something along those lines.

I invented a drinking game (well I don’t drink it was just a joke) that everyone has to ask Alexa an original question, and every time she says “Hmmm, I don’t know what you mean by that” You have to take a shot. Lol.

I don’t know who Alexa is but I talk to Siri. I just have to say “hey Siri” and she starts listening.

Alexa is amazons cyclinder that takes orders and talks

There was a controversy where a child ordered like $400 worth of stuff on her Alexa and alexa bought it for her, so then on the news they kept talking about Alexa…they were like “So if you say 'Alexa order ______” and then people who had the TV on would have it ordered too lol. Then it became code protected…

Zeno on my iPhone you have to hold a button to get the Siri feature to come up, so it’s not always listening

You have to hit a button on my iPad but on my phone it installed an update for the “hey Siri” command. It used to not be that way. I have an iPhone 7.
