Alexas can be fun, if they are in someone else’s house: "Alexa, set alarm for 3:37 AM, set alarm tone to “howling wolves,” set volume to “earthquake.”

Ha ha, I just love George’s curiosity (nice of Alexa to dim the sun for him as well)

A science-fiction movie prop has come to rule the world. A moment of silence for the human species, please.
