Why is live-listening impractical at scale? How can Discord provide such a service? You seem to be conflating Amazon's intent with the unknowable intent of anyone that can touch such data, which is a common fatal flaw in reasoning.


>Why is live-listening impractical at scale?

Because there is no value in doing so. A person could collect all the spare change thrown into fountains at shopping malls, but they don’t.


If I worked on voice search I would wish to have full context to train my models on. Full context could be year long. Ethics are an issue here for sure.


Sure. But the devices don’t do that.
