What your smart devices know (and share) about you | Kashmir Hill and Surya Mattu

Watching from the hills of Kashmir

No surprise, everyone is collecting your data, not just smart AI devices. And you can do nothing about it.
But then these speakers are talking from point of view of married couples. More ppl are living alone today than before and for them these listening does not affect.

Smart stands for , Secret Millitary Armament Residential Technology,Smart = Dumb

I like the advertisement where the kid says "trashcan, turn on the TV"

You bought your very own Indian to monitor yourself being monitored? PURE GENIUS! (I want one too)

it's not strange, it's repulsive

That's why sovereign nations should ban Apple, Amazon and Google. NSA knows how often you masturbate, they can send you a bomb to through Amazon anytime

Kashmir outside? How about dah?

I have Bixby on my Samsung Galaxy S8+ and sometimes she's spontaneously turned on and started transcribing what I'm saying onto the screen. I hadn't even pushed the physical Bixby button or said, "Hi, Bixby" to wake her up.

She bangs like a barn door

What's the point of this presentation ?

Your smart crap is also irratiating you 24/7. Buy an EMF reader and listen to it with the sound on. This will help you hear what the pulsing and irregular frequencies that are attacking your body and preventing rest and healing. Wake up!

The smart way? Put the coffee pot on an electro-mechanical, (analog) timer. 5 bucks at any big box store. Set when you want it to come on, plug it in, then plug the coffee pot into it.

Please stop with the "jokes" 😂 But the info in this talk is great. This kind of surveillance needs to be at least "opt-in" when you buy a device. It's seriously scary what they're collecting on us all - people have no idea.

No. No IOT in my house. I will have fibre optic to my PC, and through VPN and other privacy measures will of course connect to the Internet, though my Facebook already been shut down (missed nothing !), use Duck Duck Go instead of Google, ditched Win 10 Spyware & went back to Win 8. I will also not tolerate 5G in my house - only wifi from my own PC connection. It stops with 4G - in fact, I'm on a scheduled phasing out of apps on smartphone, until the point when soon I will simply use my old Nokia Navigator 6210 again (it so happens to have real GPS, without need for internet or sim card). We absolutely have to swim directly the opposite way than the direction we are being sucked in. Let go of your phone, free yourself. And do not allow any internet connected device in your home.

This is why I haven't bought into any of this stuff yet. I'm normally pretty quick to hop onto new tech, but new tech that requires an internet connection just to work and must always report back to someone's servers I don't own or else it won't work is a bridge too far. I'll stick to my manually configured devices, thank you very much.

Typically, if I own something, I expect to be able to do whatever I please on the device without having to worry about my personal information. If I make an account on social media, I expect to abide by terms and rules of the social media - but I do NOT expect for my information to be sold.

Why does she speak in a valley girl lilt?

I hate to see ads pop on instagram of stuff I've googled

The presentation was cringey, but still important information

So, what's with her hair?

Well 1984 is going to be real soon. Shit😓

We had 4 Amazon Alexa products and we stop using them , they are in THIER boxes and stored away .!! It’s ridiculous and disgusting what they are doing .!!

Terrible host, zero chemistry

Baahhaaaa...the sheeple don't care!

Mind blown !!!

Still, why the F*** people keeps buying internet connected stuff the industry keeps pushing on us???
Just to be trendy, fashionable or some stupid sh** like that??
People is so dumb they need to buy smart things...

Now people will question google and facebook hardly hopefully

The humor isnt good lol. Good talk though

People don't realize that smart phones are just as good (bad?) at spying on us and actively listening to what we say as a smart speaker. Just do the experiment. Put it on the table and chat with your friends/family on a very specific topic. The next day, you will have automatic ads on your mobile's browser.

That's why I'm not having children.

I fear the day that these Internet-connected appliances become an essential part of a household rather than the "convenience" items they are now.

More and more devices are difficult to control for that reason, they don't want you to have full control of the device and its behavior. So until they change that, the only way to combat it, is to wait for new companies to come out with alternative products that aren't intrusive and that serve you exclusively and give you control so you can see they are not abusing your trust and privacy. But if people keep supporting these intrusive companies, then they will continue to dominate the market and your life.

So much cringe…

Having a tough time understanding what the guy is saying

Jeff is planning to be the first trillionaire by stealing the data of the people to better Target them to sell the products, I don't know is it good or bad.

This is so sad. Alexa, play Despacit... wait

If you dont have nothing to hide. You dont have nothing to loose.

i know it doesn't have to do with anything but. i want to have someone look at me like the man looks at her

valid in it's entirety. The scripted nature of the presentation isn't helping tough

the guy is cute

"...dildo. Thank you." I never thought I'd hear that as the final 3 words of a TED video.

This is why my smart tv internet connection is not activated. I refuse to get any more connected than I am. I don't even trust my mobile. Very sad state this world had gotten itself into.

Kashmir’s hair is badass.

“... my toothbrush had a password!”

All I can hear are his massive ears
