It's a bit creepy. But it's hard to complain about the outcome. I wouldn't go as far as saying it's a government listening device. But I have no doubt that it does listen. And as long as people know what that means, they're free to use it however they want, or not at all.

Siri used to be useful. Now she's just a *****.
I asked her to make me a sandwich.
She said, "I can't. I don't have any condiments."
I said, fine. Make me a sandwich without condiments.
She said, "I can't. I don't have any condiments."
*****. She just doesn't want to make me a sandwich.

I agree so long as they understand that there could easily be, well, unintended consequences.
The problem here is that this lasts only until the remotely installed upgrade changing this feature which they may or may not tell you about.
First, I agree that the outcome was a good thing in this instance, although there is much room for the opposite. For example, you are lecturing your children about the dangers and evil of drugs and the drug culture. Alexa decides there is a drug deal going down and drops a dime on you, and your next lecture to the kids from your hospital bed is why you should not have a self-activating dial-a-snitch in your house that summons a SWAT team.
I was going to say "big deal" sarcastically, till I saw 30 miles per hour. That is a mite bit fast.
Saw this over at '***** Pass Denied', it's from 2012, but I hadn't seen it before.
She's got 99 problems, but being a mom ain't one.

Video of the judge sentencing her is guaranteed satisfying.

That's a horrible crime. And I'm not saying that she doesn't deserve it. Anyone who would do that to a child is pretty ****ed up and does not belong in society.
However, it upsets me a little that she gets 99 years because everyone who loves their kids and then some, has that OMG moment when they realize how evil that is. But then so many people who actually kill people with more malice don't seem to illicit whatever it takes to have that moment of justice.
The truly poor, especially the profoundly disabled, would need more help than the UBI could provide. So, very narrow exceptions to assistance and private sector charities will be needed.
So, right there the stage is set.
The exceptions will grow, to help the children, or the downtrodden, or whomever.
The amount will change, same reasons.

I think she's trying to be funny.
As well it should. I can see if someone's trying to run a "dog-sitting" business, a nanny state gonna nanny. But if it's like hey, Joe, you mind watching my Saint Barnard for a week? He ****s in buckets and drools in gallons, but other than that he's a big baby! I can see where that would torque people off. Years ago I had the privilege of dog-sitting a friend's 2 year old black lab. He tore up our house a little but other than that, it was a wonderful weekend. It was almost like renting a pet for a weekend where the cost was paid in slobber and dog hair all over our house and jeep.
