    Amazon spent years putting microphones in our homes and apparently decided the real problem was that we occasionally leave the house. Now you can pay $75 plus $12 a month to turn every conversation into a potential shopping reminder. The future of privacy is apparently a subscription you forgot to cancel.

    We always used to tell the tale of that broken TV set, where your door bell rings right in the next second, and the Am*zon delivery guy already brings a new one. But now the guy doesn’t even need to ring the bell anymore…

    […] OpenAI is developing a screen-less smart speaker engineered by famed Apple designer Jony Ive. Does anyone actually think that Jony Ive is a good designer? His style has always been very dystopian and soulless to me.

    All the surveillance of a house arrest without ever having committed a crime in the first place. Fantastic.
