  1. Will you use Alexa+ or no?

  2. nah. HA Voice will do me just fine. I will be getting off of Alexa ASAP.

  3. The Alexa app is sooo 💩 (try finding the Philips Hue skill) and unreliable, that there is NO WAY I'm giving Alexa more control over my house. Great hardware (the Echos), but the software ruins it all. My Echos are allowed to turn on my lights, tell me the weather forecast, and start Flows on my Homey.
    I hope the HA Voice Assistant will one day be easy enough for me to understand and use, or better, integrate somehow with Homey.

  4. Good video mate. I am completely there with your concerns but at the same time for those people not able to create a local LLM it could become a really useful product. Will I use it? I'll try it but I plan to move away from Alexa in the future. I'm looking forward to your LLM video.

  5. I love the echo person! It's awesome!

  6. You might be a software engineer but you don't know anything about business… A+ is priced more to drive more traffic to prime… They don't care about A+ but if you want to pay for it sure go ahead… It's all about marketing….. They just want more prime membership…

  7. When Amazon first looked at buying iRobot, mum could not understand why, until I pointed out having a map of your house, then allows targeted ads for coffee tables etc to fill any large open areas and other suggestions. Luckily the merger never went ahead,

  8. I don't have an echo show, I never realized that they show ads on there. That's insane considering the price!

    Also, great videos dude! You're hilarious and informative!

  9. slightly better alexa being a prime feature is just another example of how amazon is a horrible fucking company. I genuinely get happy any time anything they do fails

  10. Looking forward to seeing your work to date on the Home Assistant Voice Assistant device, particularly the LLM integration

  11. Everything you do is already being recorded and sold. Google collects massive amounts of data on you already. Until laws are passed to limit data ownership your data is out there and being used by lots of entities.

  12. A whole new way to push advertising into uour house! I look forward to your adventure with home asdistant!

  13. I have a feeling the ring feature requires you to have the ring Premium subscription which has the Smart Video Search feature. this is the feature that lets you identify people, animals, objects, etc in video events.

  14. You are so awesome Reed 😊

  15. I am totally using it -_-

  16. gemini can't still turn on my tv or turn on my lights like old assistant

  17. It’s funny how often I see people clamoring for smart, fully integrated solutions that link to everything—yet they balk at the idea of sharing any data at all. I’m not saying you should hand over your information without question, but let’s be realistic: if you want a suite of feature-rich services and interconnected devices that run smoothly, you have to concede something. Until we reach a level of true artificial general intelligence where everything can be handled locally, there’s simply no getting around some degree of data sharing.

  18. My Alexa still tells me the score it the Tampa bay buccaneers when I ask what the score of the bucks game is. I live in Milwaukee, follow the Milwaukee bucks, and it’s not even football season. Oh and the bucs is a nickname of the buccaneers. It’s kind of impressive that it’s this bad

  19. what the heck is A+?

  20. Amazon is dead to me. I’m removing anything Amazon in my house. No Bezos.

  21. My Echo show is now just a shop front that tries to get me to buy things every minute of the day (it feels like this anyway) and now it's looking around at connected devices – so told me my ink cartridge was running low. Obviously to try and get me to buy a new one there and then, not because it was being friendly.

    It's pretty obvious that Prime customers will get it free for beta testing and for those that get hooked in, they'll separate it or add a surcharge. They can't really add more ads because it's already full of ads. That is unless they put ads within ads, which might well be a suggestion they're going to read here and actually do. Sorry.

  22. The Alexa app better be a major overhaul. The current version is terrible.

  23. if only they would get rid of the ads on my shows…

  24. Kinda hard to care cell phones knows everything i do.

  25. No I would not. I don't have any Alexa devices in my hope and don't plan on buying any. I have all Apple devices but even with that I rarely use Siri.

  26. Thanks Reed.

  27. I don't get it. There's some "gee whiz" type features in here, but literally nothing that makes me care about A+. When you add the privacy and know the cost is going up….hard pass. A+ is going to kill Alexa.

  28. Not interested in paying for Amazon’s AI. Will probably move over to the Nabu Casa devices soon.

  29. Amazon are late on using data, Apple & MS having doing this for over a decade, people warm us about this, 99% of you did nothing….Good luck

  30. So this Alexa+ is using a new form of AI that does actions/operations. The idea of it can be pretty convenient but being setup by Monopolistic companies is not the way forward. We need a private self-hosted use of such AI features that has no capitalistic oversight with the data you feed it

  31. Can I cancel Alexa +?

  32. Ok but can someone tell me why their app is still so ugly and why Alexa can't even understand an ‘and’ to control devices 😂

  33. Smart home solver I have a question. Does Alexa work with Home Assistant? I haven’t yet figured that out.

  34. Great video BUT… I'm looking to replace A. I'm more than over the adds and upsales after every command. Hope nabu comes full release soon!

  35. i dont think this will work in my country, i m not from usa.

  36. I'm very interested in running a local LLM! Looking forward to what you find.

  37. "Say yes and buy a peanut snack", well, hmm that's too much data:) Sounds like those A+ may replace Medical History of each person, soon?)

  38. BTW , did you got a Mac Miini M4, by any chance, there is huge hype on it, currently:) I think it is nice thing to run LLM on?

  39. Nice – Local LLM – This is the Way! : ) Looking forward)

  40. Echo is my echo wake word

  41. Local… Say it with me. LOCAL. Local only. No cloud
