What’s going on is that Alexa is 1) extracting data from every moment of our lived reality, the better to shape that reality around purchasing opportunities and 2) Using us to train Amazon's AI, the better to shape our reality around purchasing opportunities. I don’t know what happens to he data but obviously it’s of some interest to political parties to know what people talk about in their homes. It’s really weird that Alexa is legal and I don’t expect her to be legal for much longer.Am I the only person who wonders what is going on behind things like 'Alexa'? IIUC that sends info about what you are saying off to the 'cloud' so you can switch off Clarkeson when he appears on TV. I appreciate the desire to do that, but wonder how we know that no other use is made of listening to what people say by those who have suitable access to the real systems beyond your home and probably outside the UK.
