I know you feel like the story is not being fairly presented, but you are almost certainly not helping Amazon by posting here about it. Why? Because from a PR perspective, it doesn't matter what Amazon or the engineers intended, all that matters is what actually happened. You said: > There's no way a team would get the "ok" to build a skill that randomly records private conversations then sends them to a random contact. But that's exactly what happened. Whether it was a bug or a feature doesn't matter. Imagine if the wing fell off a plane and an airframe engineer came on here and said "hey, there's no way we would get the OK to design a wing that falls off in midair." Yeah, we know. The fact that it happened by accident doesn't make it better (maybe worse, actually). Now you've got dozens of people responding to you, and BTW a lot of reporters read HN too. Do you really want to see stories like "Amazon Engineer Calls Customers Conspiracy Theorists"?
