What's that about Meta?

Exactly this. And I'm pretty sure the person that pointed this out was fired.

Seems like a serious data privacy concern to me. Are customers actually able to opt out of Amazon Sidewalk? Or is it the case that Amazon will continue to override customer settings for Ring and Alexa devices in order to achieve this mesh n

Do we get to sue Amazon when we discover they've lied (again)?

Excellent news. I hope the US quickly follows suit and shuts their abhorrent labor practices down.

What's astonishing to me is that the FBI is incapable of making their own solution using OpenCV. Object detection is practically off the shelf at this point. Surely people hired to work at the FBI are not computer illiterate...

Thanks to all those scientists from Alexa Entertainment, who have successfully broken all iterations of Alexa. 3 for 3! Great job!

You must not have ever worked at Amazon. The issue you highlight from Google is "a first world problem," as the kids say. Amazon is low brow.

nope. It's the same 2020 model, wrapped in another label. Just like they do all their other failed offerings... Rename and resell. Like a used car salesman.

I wonder if this is also to drown out smaller vendors who rely on the post office for shipping.

Amazon AI is 2020. We are almost 2024 now. No one is impressed.

I personally enjoy the number of times Amazon's PR has to call out the tens of thousands of complaints from tech and non-tech employees as "not representative of the experience of the vast majority of our employees." The

Anything to get more user traffic to Amazon Music, even when you the customer have specified your personal preferences as non-Amazon Music. Pretty lame.

This is true, now. It is the case that Video, Music, and SmartHome teams took over much of Alexa support in middle of 2022/2023 (many other teams were fired), and the result is basic functionality such as "stop" doesn't

"Amazon pursues a pay-to-play scheme forcing sellers to buy ads. Worse, many of these ads are junk ads that aren’t relevant to what users search for. Jeff Bezos and co. call these Junk Ads “defects,” and sellers pay big bucks for them.

These companies made billions of dollars via fake reviews. Only now they want to launch a global coalition? This is similar to how big tech wants to self-govern AI advancements; trust me bro. I am also concerned that Amazon is trying to lev

There was a series of grotesque missteps before that which, in part, led to the layoffs. I think there's a few lawsuits that describe it. Forcing employees to either break federal/international laws or be fired is not a good look.
