If you use home assistant, nabu casa has an ”Assist Sattelite” voice-kit hardware platform in the pipeline, I’m hoping to replace all my Alexa’s once available.

There’s a patent post on Reddit recently too, I won’t link that 😂

Why do you think that?

That sounds cool, I’ve had roles that were heavy on data cleansing, although never on something so interesting. What languages / frameworks are used for transforming the data, I understand if you can’t go into too much detail.

I did wonder how much software engineers contribute in the field, it’s the scientists doing the really interesting stuff when it comes to AI? Not surprisingly I guess 😂

I’m a full stack engineer, I was thinking of getting into contracting, now I’m not so sure, I don’t know enough about AI’s potential coding capabilities to know whether I should be concerned about job security in the short, or long term.

Getting involved in AI in some capacity seems like a smart move though…

What do you do exactly in AI? I’m a software engineer interested in getting involved.
