What's that about Meta?

Exactly this. And I'm pretty sure the person that pointed this out was fired.

Seems like a serious data privacy concern to me.

Are customers actually able to opt out of Amazon Sidewalk? Or is it the case that Amazon will continue to override customer settings for Ring and Alexa devices in order to achieve this mesh network?

"One must also assume that Amazon will do its best to encrypt its network traffic and make its devices as hard to hack as possible."

So far, Amazon says nothing when large volumes of customer data is leaked via vulnerable Alexa and Ring devices. Will Amazon be forced to disclose that it's systems are successfully attacked?

Do we get to sue Amazon when we discover they've lied (again)?

Excellent news. I hope the US quickly follows suit and shuts their abhorrent labor practices down.

What's astonishing to me is that the FBI is incapable of making their own solution using OpenCV. Object detection is practically off the shelf at this point. Surely people hired to work at the FBI are not computer illiterate...

Thanks to all those scientists from Alexa Entertainment, who have successfully broken all iterations of Alexa. 3 for 3! Great job!

You must not have ever worked at Amazon. The issue you highlight from Google is "a first world problem," as the kids say. Amazon is low brow.

> Can I trust that Q's proposed AWS architecture solutions will be cost-effective?

No. Even in the Solutions Architect an Data Analyst Certification exams there are biases tested to essentially reinforce customers build in ways that ensure they spend more money. This model is no different. Amazon makes it incredibly difficult to opt out of any data collection across its AWS services, making user privacy a serious concern here. And, Amazon continues to fail to disclose to customers when their services/data has been compromised.

The "Q" model is incredibly underwhelming. ChatGPT continues to do a better job of describing and proposing viable solutions using AWS framework, and it's free.

As a customer, the guarantee you'll have with this model is KTLO. No thanks.

nope. It's the same 2020 model, wrapped in another label. Just like they do all their other failed offerings... Rename and resell. Like a used car salesman.

I wonder if this is also to drown out smaller vendors who rely on the post office for shipping.

Amazon AI is 2020. We are almost 2024 now. No one is impressed.

I personally enjoy the number of times Amazon's PR has to call out the tens of thousands of complaints from tech and non-tech employees as "not representative of the experience of the vast majority of our employees."

The other employees are too scared to speak up, else lose their job. Or, they are sociopaths.
