The sad thing is, all this smart stuff is really cool and home automation can be fun and convenient. Unfortunately, it's all spyware and actively working against you. I'd love an AI assistant. Just one that I control and not some corporate overlord somewhere.
^^ A million times this.
From cell phones to look up anything on the internet pretty much anywhere on the planet I want to be, smart appliances that know what I want and need before I do, self-driving cars so I can get hours of my commute back, even cybernetic implants to improve memory and reflects. I wanted it all.
And then I grew up and realized even if the people that invent this stuff have good intentions, the people that ultimately control it will be the most sociopathic among the population.
