As the author - yes, that's kind of the point (sorry if that didn't come across). Halo is a symptom of this disease, unchecked Amazon/etc/capitalist data collection technology that promises much but delivers much worse. Halo is the latest example of this, and unfortunately won't be the last. Simply put: POC or people in general shouldn't get this, not unless we have independent guarantees of security and protections for all, including marginalized communities.
- s1artibartfast 6y agoThanks for chiming in! I definitely learned more about how amazon processes voice data, which is enough to make me avoid such devices. I did think that the article tried to cover too much ground. In particular, the aspect of AI failing to detect POC seemed to be an unnecessary addition, as I'm not sure how it relates to the Halo.
- bmcn2020 6y agoThanks for your feedback, really appreciate it. I see what you mean (now that I've stepped away from it). I will definitely take this on board.
