“the implications of owning such a device would refuse to own one, although I know I'm mistaken.”

You are mistaken. I use my Alexa everyday. I suppose if someone creates a better version that doesn’t phone home, I’ll switch. In the meantime, I really enjoy having this type of device.

By the way, last year I blogged about the need for HN users to constantly complain about Alexa’s privacy.

If you could take that energy and build an open source replacement, that would be more worthwhile.
