Apple's forming a special team to finally make Siri smarter! New details on their AI push for better answers & chat. Could this fix Siri? https://techkelly.net/t4tu

Sometime back, I got obsessed with the idea of running my own voice assistant — fully local, no Google, no Amazon, no "cloud intelligence." Just me, my wife and our server(s)...

So I built Marvin.

All of this AI, and voice assistants still suck

Alexa+ starts rolling out today! Some features demoed in February will arrive in 2 months, while others will take a bit longer. Exciting updates ahead! #AlexaPlus #AmazonAlexa #TechUpdate #SmartHome #AI #VoiceAssistant #Innovation #Amazon

I'm close to getting my #VoiceAssistant working under #HomeAssistant. But suddenly my debian docker host can't resolve DNS. Just last night I did a docker pull and everything was fine. Now docker pull results in an error.

No biggie. Normally I'd just reboot it. But I can hear my teenager playing online games with his friends, and if I reboot that system and the pihole doesn't come back, he will kill me. So I will wait until he takes a break and go play #Civ7 instead.

Looks like it might be about time to throw those Echos out!

Amazon is getting rid of the option for Echo devices to process Alexa voice requests locally

From March 28th, Amazon will send everything you say - all audio utterances - to the cloud, removing support for "processing on device". Billed as necessary to support Voice ID + Alexa+ features, there are significant implications for #privacy #VoiceAssistant

Doing a thing! #HomeAssistant #EspHome #VoiceAssistant

Nice to see how @homeassistant is progressing with freeing up voice assistance.

I ditched my #Alexa some years ago, for privacyreasons. Now my Christmas presence will be the Voice Assists PE:

Hi @keno3003, Danke für euer Video zu #GeminiLive auf http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f_8PLJAwRj0 (und vor allem für den Schluss )

Was mir als Info abging ist, ob man sowas auch rein lokal benutzen kann. Also mit dem #LLM direkt am Handy.

Diverse Dinge darf und will ich nicht in die #Cloud schicken und daher wäre ich an sowas prinzipiell schon interessiert aber nur, wenn meine Daten nicht mein Gerät verlassen können und ich die Netzwerk-Permission abschalten kann.
