Amazon has addressed a bug in Alexa that misled listeners during a recent voice ordering demonstration on the GeekWire Podcast. This issue highlights the difficulties associated with voice ordering compared to traditional screen interactions.
This week’s episode revisits the audio of the order, challenging listeners to identify the mistake. Additionally, Microsoft has introduced a “community first” strategy for its AI data centers in response to criticism regarding their energy and water consumption. The announcement gained attention when it was revealed that President Trump had prior knowledge of the development.
Further topics include innovative technology used to capture images of every attendee at Lumen Field, UK police attributing a mistaken soccer match to Copilot, and the departure of Glenn Kelman, CEO of Redfin, just six months following the company's acquisition by Rocket.
