Google is working on a new feature called “Audio Memory” for Pixel phones that will “keep track of what you hear throughout your day.”

    Let me guess, defaults to on. Everyone around you is being recorded, always. You’re saying the quiet part out loud google. Wonder in how many jurisdictions is this illegal surveillance? Governments like to keep that for themselves, but hey, Amazon Alexa got away with it, sadly.

    Might have to reconsider passing on my Pixel to my partner, pretty sure I don’t want that in my house…

        Pretty sure the camera app is not better then the stock, and it’s a selling feature in this case.

          Probably not, that’s fair point for someone considering switching.

          I have found a camera app with way more capability than any stock camera, I think it’s open camera (can’t remember for sure).

          I do find any camera other than stock is a little slower but that’s a small price to pay for all the other benefits.

    We had Glassholes, and we need something similar for Pixel users going forward. Pix-holes doesn’t quite cut it. Any better suggestions?

    I would love to start hearing about prompt injection on peoples’ phones. Sounds like fun.

    A new attack surface to defend.

    I wonder what is capable to recognise as speech. I wonder if it could be possible to covertly inject, at the very least, what would be very uncomfortable notes.

      I already quietly mutter to myself throughout the day. I think I’m going to have to turn it into a fully unhinged ongoing ramble just on the off chance that some random android will pick it up.

      Someone’s gonna be looking at their notes like: “Grocery list: apple, eggs, milk, the third nitration of TNT happens at around 85C and is extremely exothermic, requiring careful temperature control to avoid runaway reaction and subsequent detonation, sugar, and the fancy cheese”

    Looks like I, luckily, won’t be affected (Pixel 6, NO I don’t like upgrading my phones) and this just confirms my stance that my next phone will be a dumb, possibly flip phone
