echo echo ECHOOOO Owners complained that their voice-activated devices set off on an inadvertent shopping spree after a California news program triggered the systems to make erroneous purchases, according a local report. A morning show on San Diego’s CW6 News station had been covering a segment about a six-year-old girl in Texas who ordered to her home a dollhouse and four pounds of cookies through her parents' gadget. Echo devices, powered by Amazon (amzn) Alexa, the tech giant's artificially intelligent voice assistant, reportedly woke when they heard the name "Alexa" spoken on household television sets. Jim Patton, an anchor on the show, had remarked, "I love that little girl saying 'Alexa ordered me a dollhouse.'" The comment proved mischievous. A number of Amazon Echos registered the statement as a voice command, and placed orders for dollhouses of their own, the station said. TLDR: this is situational music made from feedback. amazon echo triggers (news about amazon echo) which then triggers [amazon echo] which then triggers <news about news triggering amazon echo> and presumably these news stories will result in more dollhouses being ordered. if i had to dial up TLDR even further, well, the engineering words for this situation are: open-loop, clusterfuck |
