stupid easy convenience?
These things are all over my neighborhood. Even if I try to avoid them, they capture my stride, probably posture, maybe face. I don't like the world they are building.

I'm glad for your optimism. It's easy to feel the opposite, and I need the reminders.

Just gotta want to do it, and be mindful of not solving all problems at once. That is what truly is standing in the way of competing with Amazon and Google home automation platforms.
This is why the other day I was asking if anyone had been using those NVMe AI extension chips, because that's the dream, right? Taking a good model that runs on-device that can help with automation, voice recognition and synthesis; like the Echo used to have and this was why some people would buy that instead of the Google crap: privacy preservation. Like the iPhone used to have and why people would with much more ease use Apple on-device AI than Google cloud AI.
But now that both Amazon and Apple have succumbed to centralized processing, there's a pretty gap in the market for non-invasive tech. Only Apple is still trying to not completely alienate their customers (but they could have simply invested in making their on-device NLP chips faster and more energy efficient, now they're tied to their central server processing and I doubt that they'll be investing in reversing that)
