Re: Dystopia, one improvement at a time
I've mentioned before that I only use my Google Home as a radio and its lack of reliability in that one simple task.
The last couple of mornings I don't get beyond "OK, Google" before the thing spits out "I'm sorry, there seems to be a problem", "I'm sorry there's a glitch" and "I can't do that right now" so rapidly that the phrases overlap and it can only be restored to its usual barely-usable state with a hard power cycle.
The dystopian future is not one in which an evil corporation controls your every movement, but one in which you can't actually do anything because everyone at the would-be-evil corporate overlord that mediates all your communications has got locked into their daily scrum by the "intelligent" door control system.
