Amazon Alexa is a colossal failure on pace to lose $10 billion for the company this year. Good. Couldn't have happened to a nicer product. Stop normalizing filling your house with always-on microphones controlled by billionaires.
@evacide Maybe it's time to take another look at #MycroftAI - I saw it a few years ago at a conference and it sounded promising. https://mycroft.ai/
@tylerb @evacide I was extremely unimpressed with the original #MycroftAI. But they reworked the entire thing including the hardware and re-launched like last week.
I watched a couple videos and for the price it still doesn't look like much...
