Comment on Hundreds of smartphone apps are monitoring users through their microphones
LoveSausage@discuss.tchncs.de 2 days agoNo you are wrong. Seems your making things up on the go. More wake words to listen to more battery drain. Fact.
But sure lets play. Now that you used your “wake word counter” what use would that have ? You have ZERO context then. Completely useless .

Lol. “Nuh-uh” doesn’t work with me.

I speak from knowledge and experience. What do you bring to the table?
1 trained class = 1 model
100 trained classes = 1 model
Tell me how running 1 model would drain more battery than running 1 model? I’ll wait…
The person said “NIKE” a few times, show them ads for shoes. The person said “mechanic” “car” “fixed” around the same time, show them ads for local car repair shops.
You don’t need the full context of what was said to get some context from just the words. The spacing in time and the revelations relationship between words can give you a whole lot of context. Plenty to target ads.
Now, either come back with something real, or go away and conceed you’re out of your depth.

I already did multiple times you just refuse to read it like the little bitch troll you are… context matter a lot you are wrong. How often do you say Nike ? More interesting would be “I will buy a pair of new shoes” now shoes can be mentioned in tons of context so you better have a way of separate it.

No you didn’t, because you keep saying wrong things.
I don’t need to read it, because I read it when it came out… back in 2008. I read their stuff regularly. I also read all the other stuff about this topic (AI tech). An article from 2008 is irrelevant at this point. Technology has advanced leaps and bounds in 17 years. AI wasn’t even a thing back then. Things like Picovoice didn’t even exist until recently.
It also says a lot that your source of truth is a near 20-year old article from Android Authority.
Personally? Never.
I don’t know about “interesting”, but I do agree that it would be much greater context to better target ads. But that’s not what the discussion was about. I said way back that I’m not positioning this idea of phone’s listening as an absolute certainty. My whole point was that at a technological level it’s well within technical means to accomplish the whole “our phones listen to what we say” all while not draining the battery enough to be outright noticeable.
Another thing to note, is that most (if not all) of the anecdotal stories about people talking about a topic and then seeing ads about that thing are often generic conversations. Even in my own tests, which are anecdotal, confirm that. I never talk about boating. I never search anything about boats. I also never saw any ads about boats. Etc. So I did a little test on my own recently and openly talked about “getting the boat ready”, “can’t wait to go boating next week”, “need to get the boat in the water and ready for the season”, and so on. I did this for about an hour solid. Then waited and hour and visited some generic websites that show ads, and lo and behold there were lots of ads for buying a new propeller, ads for nearby marinas, ads for marina supply shops, ads for boating accessories, and so on.
Like I said, it’s entirely anecdotal and in no way conclusive, but it does lead me to believe that there might be truth to the rumours. And it’s the kind of thing I’ve heard from many other technical people who deliberately tried to trigger ads on topics they never deal with otherwise.
And also like I said before either come back with something real, or go away and concede you’re out of your depth.

You are the one basing your argument on an article from 2008 , not me. You are completely deranged. Now come back with some hard evidence or go shout at the hollow moon in your tinfoil hat.
Your anecdotes are as good as a horoscope. Get real.
