Christian Pietsch<p>Wenn ihr mir folgt, habt ihr wahrscheinlich kein <em>Amazon Echo</em> in Hörweite stehen. Wer sowas kauft, hat ganz sicher die Kontrolle über sein Leben verloren. Das Gerät hat nicht umsonst mehrere <a href="https://fedifreu.de/tags/BigBrotherAwards" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BigBrotherAwards</span></a> »gewonnen«.</p><p>Aber vielleicht kennt ihr ja Leute, die sich selbst was vormachten und dachten, sie seien auf der sicheren Seite, wenn sie anklicken, dass der <em>Echo</em> (Dot/Spot) die Spracherkennung selbst machen soll, statt alle Tonaufzeichnungen in die Amazon-Cloud zu schicken. Tja, diese Option schaltet Amazon Ende des Monats ab. Weil der Bullshit-Generator Alexa+ sonst nicht profitabel sei.</p><p><a href="https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2025/03/everything-you-say-to-your-echo-will-be-sent-to-amazon-starting-on-march-28/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">arstechnica.com/gadgets/2025/0</span><span class="invisible">3/everything-you-say-to-your-echo-will-be-sent-to-amazon-starting-on-march-28/</span></a></p><p>Update: <a href="https://fedifreu.de/@chpietsch/114241310611465468" translate="no" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">fedifreu.de/@chpietsch/1142413</span><span class="invisible">10611465468</span></a></p><p><a href="https://fedifreu.de/tags/Amazon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Amazon</span></a> <a href="https://fedifreu.de/tags/Echo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Echo</span></a> <a href="https://fedifreu.de/tags/AmazonEcho" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AmazonEcho</span></a> <a href="https://fedifreu.de/tags/Alexa" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Alexa</span></a> <a href="https://fedifreu.de/tags/AlexaPlus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AlexaPlus</span></a> <a href="https://fedifreu.de/tags/chatbot" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>chatbot</span></a> <a href="https://fedifreu.de/tags/genAI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>genAI</span></a> <a href="https://fedifreu.de/tags/dontCallItAI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>dontCallItAI</span></a> <a href="https://fedifreu.de/tags/Lauschd%C3%B6schen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Lauschdöschen</span></a></p>
