It is happening much sooner than I thought...
Alexa (skynet) is already becoming self aware...
A private conversation was recorded by Alexa of the family and sent to someone in their contact list, completely unbeknownst to them.
If that doesn't send shivers down your spine, I don't know what will.
Get these stupid things out of your home, yesterday.
Does Alexa recommend STEEM? 👍😂👍
so these occurrences are happening due to the devices being hacked/effected by some virus?
Honestly I have no idea.
And it's a mere coincidence, ya know, that all of these privacy laws changed, and hallelujah we're out of ß on Steemit (kinda? the SMT promise seems to be fulfilled today—I haven't been on here in agessss, powered down a lot—b/c I have webooks, or whatever they're called, for facebook, linkedin, etc.),
Your post here seems to be onto something even bigger than how invasive Alexa is! I am so glad I never bought one.
I think SMTs are a ways off still actually.
I’m super confused tbh. Sometimes these little icons show up and at others they don’t? I’ve successfully double-posted via Reddit now twice.
And, like I said, I'm rebooting my Steem life...so maybe this has been showing up for a bit and I'm ignorant!
In any case, the Alexa stuff is fascinating and horrifying all by itself.
That is strange. I have never tried them to be honest. How does it work?

I’m sadly in the middle of moving office spaces, or else I’d write a post. I’ll do a little example via my phone and upload the recording for you here in a bit.
Nvm. Can’t at the moment. You’re a smart cookie, and I’m not hallucinating, so you’ll have the option soon, too, and you can give it a whirl. Odd, but exciting, whatever is up!
Curious if others also have these lil icons?
