      It’s down to this. We’re trying to figure out if our mattresses are recording audio and uploading to the cloud. 🙄https://twitter.com/Grady_Booch/status/1068312395599175680 …

      That's good to know. But this leaves some further questions. Is there any mechanism via the bed itself or the SleepIQ app that senses audio? And if so, while you may not literally record the audio stream, is that raw information ever sent to the cloud to be processed? https://twitter.com/sleepnumber/status/1068307606580514816 …

      So who had “We’ll be chatting with a mattress firms’ avatar, 240 characters at a time, to try discern whether the blanket permission we had to sign to sleep on the said mattress, allowing it to record us, implies a hidden mic in the mattress or not” in the office pool for 2018?

      This is so stupid that, if and once we get out of this insane surveillance system we’re building, we’re never going to believe we allowed it to get to this point without even a serious discussion.

          "If you can't talk to your mattress, who can you talk to?" seems to be the idea.

          Why are people buying this shit from the sort of shitty scam companies that advertise in seatback pocket magazines and late-night infomercials?!

          Generations from now I expect horrible things to come out of a whole new class of conspiracy theorists who don't believe this stuff happened.

          Meh. Adults weigh the pros and cons of products with Voice User Interfaces for themselves. The efficiencies of natural language interfaces are so immense there will be no reversal from GUI-->VUI, but security will be continually improved as with all products.

          We won't remember what "serious discussion" means. Also, "insane surveillance system" (ISS) will have become a synonym for "democracy.

          I know I keep sounding like a crockpot, but Jerry Mander totally called it in 1992(!) in his book “In The Absence of the Sacred.” An enormously important book - or it would have been, if more people had read it.

          The x12 mattress owner's manual says "the Voice Command Module is always on and always listening." It's not like they're being subtle about it.
