      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.

      😂 Next stop, a chat bot talking back to you from the mattress. 😱https://twitter.com/thynktwyce/status/1068316954849624065 …

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

          Future generations will watch The Godfather and wonder why mobsters considered it safe to "go to the mattresses."

          They won’t watch the movie because the plot make no sense! “Why didn’t the government just get all their emails and texts?”

          Think Alexa for pillow talk... except instead of Alexa being 10 feet away it's only 1 foot away and inside the mattress. What a time to be alive!! 🤣

          Right. Nothing but straight talk from your mattress. As we all know, mattresses don't lie. (Very sorry about that).

          Internet-of-Things: Mattresses sharing your dirty talk with other mattresses, laughing about it, then using an ML algorithm to find out the most effective dirty talk...and then not sharing that with us because Skynet is a prick.
