  Get a robot to help around the house observe your daily schedule, your habits, your every movement, and upload video, audio, sonar, lidar and radar recordings to the cloud probably just an unesecured S3 bucket. And then use all that to profile you, sell you stuff, and send automatic reports to law enforcement about anything that triggers the AI as a possible indicator of criminal behavior.

  Oh yeah, sign me right up for the corporate-controlled self-propelled surveillance platform. Maybe I’ll get two, so there’s never a gap in surveillance while one is recharging.

  And if you think any of that sounds paranoid, you should be aware it’s already happening with robot vacuums:

  A Roomba recorded a woman on the toilet. How did screenshots end up on Facebook?

  While it’s vacuuming your dirt, Roomba also collects data on you: Next, it could be sold

    Small price to pay. They can watch me do my daily physical therapy, eat, play video games and watch TV. I hate to disappoint but I am not some secret agent hiding a bunch of shit. I also wouldn’t give them access to my internet or cell phone.

      Yeah, not connecting the AI Robo Dog 2026 to the Internet will surely work. Corporations like this love to give users control like that, right? You probably don’t even have to sign up for an account

  Yeah, if companies didn't sell your data
