Great article by @caro_milanesi re her experience with Amazon's Astro. It's interesting that when we initially considered sentient robots - Like R2-D2 or WALL-E we didn't really think about them being “cloud-connected,” and sending everything back to HQ. https://www.fastcompany.com/ ...

Amazon Astro review: impressive autonomous navigation skills, reasonable price for the tech, attractive design, but its daily utility is questionable
