I see where you are coming from but the debate is so stupid. With the Chrome situation, people discovered an issue, complained about it, and it was "resolved".

I see where you are coming from but the debate is so stupid. With the Chrome situation, people discovered an issue, complained about it, and it was "resolved". With Home Assistants, they've never been found to spy on anyone and the manufacturers have explained in detail how they work and protect your privacy at the same time.
The first moment that somebody finds a home assistant sending massive streams of data to the mothership then we talk about it. But until then it's just a "debate" without any facts at all just wild incorrect speculation.
- fired_and_happy 8y agoBeing reactive to a topic that's greatly discussed in this space isn't the right move either (imo). The wait until we're proven wrong is the behavior that allows entities to gain the upper hand - throughout history may I point out. I'm all for decentralized and forward-thinking companies in the AI / Automation / Assistant space. Some have been brought up here already in other comments.
- wvenable 8y agoIf you are the one claiming that home assistants are spying on you then prove it. But constantly complaining about something that is simply not happening because it might happen is ridiculous. What do you want people to do? Unplug their Echo's because they aren't spying?
