23 February 2018
It's the worst nightmare for any fan of virtual assistants - that moment you summon it and it remains silent.

AnonD-503930, 03 Mar 2018ddos attack??its look like

    I can imagine all those people that because of all those assistants cant turn on light manually, turn on TV, dont know what weather is outside, have no idea what time is it or even what they should eat, and when.

    Just like few years ago in LA, I can bet that most of them start to call 911/112 screaming that they dont know what is happening and where they are.
    But also knowing that with every year people intelligence lower by some percentage, they probably dont even know how to call 911/112 without assistance, they probably use whatsapp to ask friends what to do...

              Actually I think the worst nightmare of smart home device owners is them actively doing things they *didn't* ask.

                  Someone call Cardi B ASAP!

                    Besides using multiple servers and offline AI, they could use people as in ADs, it would be still better than no answer.

                      That is why Assistant should have local commands, so in the event of power outage, we can still issue commands lololol
