I wonder if this is even legal in many places. Doesn't California require consent to be recorded? This seems like an edge case

It's called "implied consent"

As long as you show people you are recording - it's legal

Don’t wear one of these near me. I don’t want you recording our everyday conversations as a matter of habit. Ask permission first.

Move to a jurisdiction that requires all-party consent for recording.

Or alternatively, get with the times and recognize that people will sometimes offload some of their mental processing onto silicon.

Do you tell the same to millions of people who wear headphones and Meta Raybans?

This was covered with Google Glass ten years ago: https://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2013/06/14/glasshole>

This is a pretty poor response if you're trying to sell a product.

We shouldn't have to move states because people are being rude. That's a bit drastic.

I totally understand the desire to have computers help us, but telling people to get over it is a blatant rejection of their desire to privacy.

It makes you wonder what the legal implications are of owning an Amazon, Google or Apple device with a voice assistant turned on in one of these jurisdictions.
