elevant to that. All right, so go find your luck. That's your advice for today, I guess.

Apple is settling a lawsuit that has them admitting that their digital assistant, Siri — I don't want to say it to trigger all your phones — but it was in fact listening to you even when you didn't activate it and even when you didn't know it was listening. It was doing exactly what you worried about. Is my phone sometimes just listening to me on its own? Yes, it was doing exactly that.

I'd like to see ads that are more relevant to my experience, of course. But of course none of us trust that that's all it's going to do. You kind of assume that they could just replay those audios if they wanted to. If the machine is listening when you don't want it to, are you telling me that there's no human being who could just play it at any time they want or just listen in live, listening in real time?
