As someone with a lot of experience in the mobile app space, and tangentially in the IoT space, I can most definitely believe this, and I am not surprised in the slightest.
Our industry may "move fast", but we also "break things" frequently and don't have nearly the engineering rigor found in other domains.

With the OpenAI key on device it means anyone could use that key to call (and bill) OpenAI's APIs. It's absolutely not feasible to ship the OpenAI keys on device.
- rvnx 1y agoSounds good to me, the company I purchased the device from, takes the risk, instead of putting my own privacy at risk. Sounds like a good deal.
- hn_throwaway_99 1y agoThis is not a serious argument.
