Yes, this is what I meant. It doesn't record unless you "awake" it.
Oooo, thank you! I figured there had to be something, but I haven't played around with it. That was just my initial thoughts on it. The AI on Google is way better.

You have a very valid point yet assuming that a smart speaker is whats standing between Google and achieving that goal couldn't be further detached from reality.

You are absolutely incorrect. Maybe for the weather it's a bit more complex to explain, but for example using routines like "OK Google Turn off all the lights" every night at a specific time or "OK Google good night" for a night time routine, you are giving them data of when you sleep. And while YOU are insignificant, having 1,000 Google homes within a same city and 70% of them tend to sleep from the hours of 9-10:30 for example, that is very significant and valuable information for advertisers. Data mining is very real. Big Data and analytics play a big part of advertising and big business.idontwantausername wrote: ↑ You must think so highly of yourself that you care so much that google selling your question to some company when you said “hey google what’s the weather like today?”...

Just wait for the "we're sorry but we ran out of stock" email in 3 days from nownorthstarbd wrote: ↑ I signed up on 10th April for premium account, then used the link to the offer. When I login it says "Thank you so much! You've already successfully registered your interest in this offer.", but no email confirmation with code. When clicked on Check Availability it says "We're sorry but you're not able to redeem at this moment."
Is anyone else facing this long delay in getting email confirmation with code?

You're pretty clueless if you think they're not doing this. They listen to everything and display ads based on your conversations and sell your data to others.idontwantausername wrote: ↑ You must think so highly of yourself that you care so much that google selling your question to some company when you said “hey google what’s the weather like today?”...

And they aren't doing that on your phone? tablet or PC or whatever other connected device you ever used (including the device you just used to make the post above)?

Couple replies in bold. I can't believe how clueless you guys are, it's unreal. If you don't know about blatant privacy issues from Google, FB, and others, you need to step off RFD for a few minutes and educate yourself. I mean I literally called it saying they could be giving these away for free and now they are.aasoror wrote: ↑ If you think that Google still needs a GHM to make money of us (as far as the privacy violation goes) then the joke is on you.
Of course they are, are you that clueless?
Tracking voice commands isn't really any different than tracking web searches or browsing history.
That makes everything okay? lol Wow
The only valid concerns are regarding mischiefs (GH sending audio extracts that aren't voice searches without the end users knowledge, practically spying on owners) if you think Google would intentionally engage in espionage then an Android phone would carry the very same privacy violation risk.
Whatever you think Google can deduce accessing a typical household voice commands stream is absolutely nothing compared to what they can deduce analyzing the photos submitted willingly to Google by the same household members via the Google Photo app on the phones they carry.
It's a market penetration campaign, for every GHM sold there is an Echo dot not getting sold, a GH probably getting sold and an Echo probably not getting sold, not to mention these devices are vehicles for other "paid" services (Google YT music, Google Play Music .. etc) so having footing in your household (even by throwing away a $10 cost GHM is just a strategic move to get hooked up with other services that will make them money down the road).
