    The bigger concern should be that this is how badly coded and how little concern there is about security there is with smart appliances in people’s homes.

    Working as a consultant and seeing the code that runs online services made me realize how fucked up everything is and to accept that nobody knows or cares about what they are doing with other people’s integrity. AI in coding is barely making a dent in it.

        Anybody can code an application, it takes a software engineer to barely code it.

      That’s less of a concern over the corporate actors who have infiltrated our houses.

      Even if it was completely secure, they would still have access to this information and that would be by utilised by a state in some capacity against us.

      Every device we have is sending our data to these companies, our homes and streets are full of Orwellian Telescreens surveilling our every move. It’s inescapable and as the means for them to better amalgamate and act on this data increases, the bleaker our future becomes.
