Yeah I don’t know, that’s a whole bunch of unnecessary surveillance.

Make the device work locally, make it in any way tamper resistant and mandate a yearly check up at a certified autoshop.

The solution to problems does not have to be “control every possible thing at all times”.

People deserve not to be monitored around the clock.

I guess “lovely” was a typo? :D

Seriously, using something devoid of thought as “a sparring partner for your thoughts” seems to me like it’s a serious entry point to losing one’s grip.

Especially since the behaviour of those machines is steered by large corporations whose only goal is to get your ressources, be it money, skill or attention.
