  • This is simply not true. Low bit compressed audio is small amounts of bandwidth you would never notice on home internet. And recognizing wakewords? Tiny, tiny amounts of processing. Google’s design is for accuracy and control, a marketing team cares nothing about that. They’ll use an algorithm that just grabs everything.

    Yes, this would be battery intensive on phones when not plugged in. But triggering on power, via CarPlay, or on smart speakers is trivial.

    I’m still skeptical, but not because of this.

    Edit: For creds: Developer specializing in algorithm creation and have previously rolled my own hardware and branch for MyCroft.








  • 100% agree. Intuition is based on reasoning, it’s just fast because experience creates the “gut” feeling before your conscious is able to form the words. At least that’s what it feels like for me.

    But there a tons of times I’m passionate about something and am proved wrong. Being open to that certainly helps ;)
