Hahah so my favorite thing to do when people use Siri, Google voice, Alexa etc is shout "WHERE TO BUY COCAINE, SAN FRANCISCO" or "HOW TO JOIN ISIS" or "PLUTONIUM FOR SALE NEAR ME" The commands are usually recognized but turn up nonsensical results.

Heh, from back when Scott Adams wasn’t a crazy alt-right, moon-landing conspiracy, Alex Jones loving, jerk. Or perhaps hid it better. Sorry to derail it, but I’m a millennial who grew up with Dilbert, and it just feels so wrong now. :(
There's nothing wrong in enjoying the writings of people whose political ideas you disagree with. I'd rather say that if you cannot do that, there's something wickedly wrong in you.

But if things like this _actually_ trigger any sort of response, then the effed up thing isn't the (childish) prank, it's the system actually acting on nonsense.
If I call the police and claim that you're armed and hold hostages, then that's irresponsible. If I shout bullshit instead and these novelty devices turn that into a web search, there's no way in hell that should have any consequences whatsoever.
I am oversimplifying here but: * install device that is designed to listen to speech in the house * the device is connected to internet * the device is capable of contacting other internet peers/services/hosts * the device knows a bit about its owner's internet presence such as contacts * the device is equipped with simple conversational user interface based on fuzzy human speech-command detection These basically bou…
