Alexa
I have Alexa – mainly for baseball scores, recipe conversions, and weather reports.
Last week, I unplugged it, put it in a plastic baggie, put the whole thing in a shed in the backyard, locked the door to the shed, and blame the damn Russians.
Owners of Amazon Echo devices with the voice-enabled assistant Alexa have been pretty much creeped out of their damn minds recently. People are reporting that the bot sometimes spontaneously starts laughing — which is basically a bloodcurdling nightmare.
It happened one time. I was home alone. Not talking to myself. It was creepy as hell.
It’s the Russians, I tell you. They are letting us know that they own the White House.
