I've given the local agent it's own wakeworkd, and it can say it's own wakeword to wake itself...

A great way to realize how often smart devices record conversations without consent is to build your own. The ESP32 client I've made for my own voice assistant uses state of the art wakeword detection, but since I play a chirp and change led colors as soon as it detects it I know how often it […]

Yup, I’m just saying that an always-on sensor does surveillance.
In that sense my phone is also a surveillance device if I have it set to listen to a wakeword.
Something being a surveillance device doesn’t mean the surveillance itself is bad or only has a certain shape.

If we say surveillance can only be done by some other party that is not an agent of my self, then I can see the case for not treating a phone with a wakeword as a surveillance device.
But only if it is structurally impossible for someone else to repurpose that feature to monitor my activity.

Over the last 6 months or so, Siri (old) thinks its wakeword is ‘hey seeetie’, and it is not.

@glenmerlin.me @blizzardfox.bsky.social That's so gross. This whole thing is super frustrating. I don't have the Gemini app installed on my phone, but any time I go to access the settings where you'd turn the "hey google" wakeword on and off - whether it's through the Google app or system […]

Cover each panel in a custom, thin led screen that each show an image of the baby complete with activation of all the sounds it makes, including "Moaning and Screaming" on the alert of a wakeword.

I tried to think of the most outrageous thing possible.
Project the video image onto the tile from the floor.
/wakeword/ illuminate with baby. *lights dim to a rich blue hue as baby sun rises (audio optional with additional command.)

Google hates things that work. I tried to replace it with a modified build of Dicio and it works, but is a massive battery drain because it can't use the built-in wakeword detection.

Not unless you think a chip that instantly disregards any audio that isn't the wakeword and doesn't send it anywhere, counts as "listening".

i was trying to replace my dumb wakeword implementation with something like embeddings, but i've figured out these work pretty terribly if you use an llm to summerize the transcript so far.

WWDC 2026: Apple filterte Frequenzen, um Siri-Aktivierungen zu verhindern
Apple hat bei der WWDC-2026-Keynote gezielt Frequenzen verändert, sobald das Wort „Siri“ fiel. Trotzdem sprangen einige Geräte an.

Apparently I had pulled a HTML file instead of an AI model from GitHub. Actual wakeword detection model works marginally better.

A wakeword for headphones that turns down the volume and opens a mic so you can hear the person standing behind you trying to talk to you.

I call bullshit. Alexa was never meant to turn a profit...directly. Your beloved Echo is just a spy device. Amazon clearly states in their ToS that Alexa will record *EVERYTHING* it hears, wakeword or not, and then use that data to market to you. Nothing is private in an Echo home.

Dozens (hundreds?) of users have monitored their devices' network traffic and confirmed they only transmit upon hearing their wakeword.
Alexa always *listens* but does not *record/transmit* until activated.

the first version of privatizing the invasive shit was this cool project called cordyceps, you make a gizmo which sits on top of a google home or siri gizmo or alexa and it feeds white noise to the device's mic until it hears the wakeword. a good stopgap but since then things have gotten even better
