Amazon Echo - Secular Sanity - Jan 5, 2017
"Be careful what you say around your Amazon Echo. Your words may be recorded and used against you in court."
That's a little creepy. The mics aren’t recording anything until you say the activation phrase, but the mics are always on, and someone could hack into it, right?
Can an Amazon Echo Testify Against You?

The sounds of Master Bates in a hot tub is likely to result in a hung jury.

Good one. *fist pump*
I wonder what sort of sounds could be heard coming from inside your house.

Perhaps the sounds of aural sex.
The whole world wants to hear the sounds from your house. I'll put mine in the bathroom near the toilet. Sounds leave more to the imagination than visual.

IOW, just more of the same shit.

Mmm, yeah, well, mine might draw a little concern. Nothing to worry about really. A few muffled screams here and there. Chains rattling, but it’s not like they’re being held captive or anything like that. I’m not stupid. Someone has to pay the bills and maintain the yard.
You know what they say, there’s always a grain of truth wrapped in every joke. I’ll leave that to your imagination.

Hey, nice going.

I'd get a lawyer proving I was framed by Alexa. One has only to raise reasonable doubt. And noone knows for sure the AI potentials of this new technology.
