100% true. My HomePod activates spontaneously all the time. Annoying honestly.

This is literally how we lost streets to cars.

The early auto industry flipped the obligation onto pedestrians not to be in the streets they had once owned.
That’s what we’re doing with privacy. Right now. https://t.co/0eU6Zcc65y
This tweet (& the story) is a bit alarmist. Read the original study: it’s based on a stream of TV show dialogue aimed at a collection of smart speakers.https://t.co/Unbahhxxmz

Gilmore Girls and The Office caused the most accidental activations. https://t.co/Z53DioLDmH

Joint work with @DanielJDubois @ammandalari @KolcunRoman @paraacha @realhamed
best setup i’ve found with alexa is to have all home devices mic muted, create routines for home automation triggered by time, and use a fire tv stick or alexa on apple watch (voice in a can) for random requests, by pressing the button...no need to have microphones on everywhere.
