Amazon kept losing money on its Echo devices. He has found a way to stop the bleeding: flood us with ads

by

Amazon has been losing a fortune with their Amazon Echo devices. Connected speakers and displays are in millions of homes, but they have never been profitable. The company’s hope was that they would become a vehicle to sell more products on its e-commerce platform, but that goal was never met. Now Amazon has found a way to get a lot out of them: to put advertising in them for good. Lots of advertising. Why is it important. Amazon has just launched on the market your new Echo Show and Eco Dot. Prices have risen in all cases, but they also arrive with Alexa+ —although not in Spain at the moment—, the AI ​​assistant that the company has been working on for several months. These products are supposed to offer important advantages in the user experience, but at the moment what is happening is that these devices are displaying advertisements frequently. Wasted. Between 2017 and 2021 Amazon lost more than $25 billion with its Amazon Echo. The idea seemed good: they could sell them at a loss if they later amortized them by converting them into products to sell us things. Instead, users ended up taking advantage of them for little more than setting timers and musicand that has ended up being a huge problem for Amazon. Ads everywhere. There are several users of Amazon’s connected screens—the Echo Show—who are seeing surprise ads appear on these screens. a user Reddit account how the alarm clock feature on your Echo Show 5 became an annoying ad. Other user checked that in addition to one advertisement, songs that he had not specified were playing, while another he complained about how his Echo Show kept advertising the Amazon Plus service. Ads now appear more frequently on Prime Video. Source: Xataka. Flooded with advertising. These screens don’t stop showing ads, match other users, but in addition none of those users accepted that their devices could be used to display advertising, and there is no switch or configuration parameter that stops this behavior. Even people who are paying $20 for Alexa+, Amazon’s new AI assistant, are complaining from all that advertising avalanche. Also on Prime Video. Personally, I don’t have an Echo Show, but I have noticed that when enjoying series and movies on Prime Video, advertisements are broadcast with greater frequency and duration. I am not he only (not much less). Amazon allows customize preferences regarding advertising, but those who have done it affirm that this does not hardly reduce the frequency with which advertisements appear. What Amazon says. An Amazon spokesperson stated the following: at Ars Technica: “Advertising is a small part of the experience and helps customers discover new content and products they may be interested in. If customers don’t like a suggestion, they can swipe to the next card on the screen or directly provide feedback by tapping the info icon or tapping the screen.” If you move away, I announce to the song. The Amazon Ads website details the ad formats, and the text explains that “The ad viewing experience dynamically adapts based on the customer’s proximity to the device.” Once it is detected that the user is more than 1.2 meters away from their device, “the ads are displayed in full screen alternating with other content, such as the weather, recipes, sports and news.” This seems to be getting worse. The latest comments seen on Reddit or on X (formerly Twitter) seem to make it clear that Amazon is increasing the amount of advertising it displays on its devices and services. The question, of course, is how far they will go… and how that will impact both sales of their devices and subscriptions to their platforms.

Behind police surveillance technologies there is a very lucrative business. A business that Amazon wants to conquer

by

Artificial intelligence technologies have broken in such a way that, today they can be given endless uses. According to A FORBES investigationAmazon would be deploying an aggressive commercial strategy to position themselves in the market of the Police surveillance technologya segment valued at 11,000 million dollars, according to the medium. The company would not only be offering its own artificial surveillance and intelligence tools, but also act as an intermediary for a complete ecosystem of companies that operate on their cloud infrastructure AWS. What is happening. Electronic Correos obtained by Forbes through requests from public records reveal That the Amazon police and school security team, led, according to the media, by a former Washington state police officer, is actively contacting police departments throughout the US west coast. According to the investigation, the company would be promoting from weapons detection technologies to IA to massive surveillance analysis software, through tools to write automatically police reports. A whole Surveillance Catalog. According to They report From the middle, among the technologies that Amazon has been offering, there are registration monitoring systems of FLOCK Safety, Zeroyes weapons detection software, applications for real -time surveillance centers of companies such as C3 AI, or Veritone technology capable of identifying and tracking individuals in recordings of security cameras and social networks. Leo Technologies tools also appear that monitor and transcribe calls from practically “real -time” prisoners for AI analysis. The method of sale. As They assure From Forbes, emails show a particularly insistent commercial style. In one of them, a Amazon manager writes to the department of the San Diego County Sheriff on Lucidus Tech (company now owned by Flock). “It is one of the most amazing tools that I have seen for the forces of the order (…) I think that your prison intelligence group would lose your head,” you could read in the investigation. In another message to King County Police Chiefs, in Washington, it promotes a meeting to “talk about strategy on how to introduce Zeroeyes in your schools.” The research shows how Amazon even offered help to request public grants to finance these technologies. The concerns. Activists advocating privacy, such as Jay Stanley, of ACLU (American Civil Liberties Union), express Your concern. “It is discouraging to see one of the largest and most powerful companies promoting authoritarian surveillance technology in this way,” he told Forbes.

Amazon new do not compete against Google Home. Compete against indifference

by

A decade ago, Alexa was the future. Today, when we talk about conversational and chatbots, we mentioned ChatgptClaude, Grok or Gemini. Traditional voice assistants (I also look at you, Siri) have become something that simply exists, such as microwave: limitedly useful, but forgotten, cornered. Amazon has just presented four new echo devices: Echo Dot Max with serious three times more powerful. Echo Studio redesigned. Echo Show 8 and 11 with screens of more than one million pixels and 13 MP cameras. Yes, but. The improvements are real and measurable. The problem is that many fewer people are paying attention to ten years ago. Alexa has gone from being a revolutionary promise to a kitchen stopwatch with voice and music. We ask songs, we put alarms, little more. The narrative was exhausted. The context. The voice assistant industry It has been stagnant for years in the same basic functionalities. Meanwhile, Chatgpt has demonstrated what a real conversational means: maintain context, reason, surprise. Users already know that there is something better, even if they don’t have it in their living room. Amazon promises that these devices “feel the bases” to Alexa+its assistant with generative. In Spain there is still no arrival date for those advanced functions. It is the usual promise: Wait, the best is yet to come. The big question. Can an improved spherical speaker change habits that we carry dragging a decade? The factor in form is the same. The activation gesture, identical. The user’s expectation about what Alexa does. Between the lines. Amazon does not need only more powerful or microphones chips that better detect the activation word. We need to stop seeing Alexa as another appliance and imagine it again as something that can change how we live. That is not fixed with deeper serious. The battle is no longer against Google Home or Siri. It is against the indifference of users who learned years ago what they can expect from a voice assistant and stopped waiting for more. Amazon has the hardware. He lacks the reason for us. In Xataka | The announcement of the new Alexa hides an awkward truth: the silent sunset of the Solo-Voz interface Outstanding image | Xataka

The key to the new speakers and Amazon screens is in the design

by

At home, the practical usually wins. That’s why speakers and smart screens They have gone into the kitchen, in the living room or in the office: they upload the music while we cook, put a timer when we need it, they call who we want or turn off the lights when we are already on the couch. If we are thinking of starting or updating what we have, the key is not only “better sound”, but how it integrates into our routines and how much the little things of the day simplify us. New York has been the chosen stage to present the next wave of speakers and smart screens Echo de Amazon. We talked about Echo Dot Max, Echo Studio, Echo Show 8 and Echo Show 11, all with potential improvements, design and voice process. The company insists that this generation feels the basis for the future of Alexa+its assistant with generative, although for the moment in Spain we will have to wait to know when these functions will be available. Echo Dot Max: Two speakers, best sound The Echo Dot Max is the first model of its range to incorporate two speakers and arrives with a clear promise: serious almost three times more powerful than the previous generation. Amazon explains that he completely redesigned the acoustic systemintegrating the speakers directly into the housing to double the air space and get a deeper sound. The result is a compact device, but with an improved volume and sharpness. It is a model combines a WOOFER capable of producing deep serious with three complete range speakers oriented to project sound in all directions. Is compatible with technologies such as Dolby Atmos and space audio, designed to create an immersive experience at home. All this in a spherical design with quality materials and a new visual language that accompanies the classic light ring. One of the outstanding novelties is the possibility of setting up a system of home cinema With several Echo speakers. You can combine up to five units of Echo Studio or Echo Dot Max next to a compatible SITIC Fire TV, and Alexa is responsible for synchronizing them and automatically adjusting them to space. The idea is to offer an enveloping sound without complex facilities or expensive equipment. Echo Show 8 and Echo Show 11: screen with best aesthetics The new Echo Show 8 and Echo Show 11 stand out first for their aesthetics, but especially for the screen. Amazon explains that they have used a high density panel with more than one million pixels, which together with the In-Cell design and the negative liquid crystal, allows to reduce reflexes and optimize visibility in different lighting conditions. They also include a 13 MP camera for calls, with which they seek to improve the sharpness of the image against previous models. In the audio section, the new Echo Show 8 and Echo Show 11 premiere a renewed architecture. They have frontal stereo speakers and a WOOFER personalized, which according to Amazon translates into a plus enveloping space sound. The drivers are placed under the floating screen and project the audio directly to the user, with the idea of ​​achieving greater clarity and presence compared to previous generations. Next to the screens, Amazon has launched a specific accessory: an adjustable base designed for the Echo Show 8 and Echo Show 11. Its design is aligned with the color and finish of the devices, and allows the screen angle to vary to improve visibility in different positions. Custom processors In the heart of this new generation are two custom chips: AZ3 and Az3 Pro. The Echo Dot Max incorporates the first, with improvements in the detection of the word of activation and in the clarity of the microphones, which according to Amazon they achieve an almost a precision 50% higher compared to previous models. The Echo Studio and Echo Show 8 and 11 integrate the Az3 Pro, which expands these functions and adds support for more advanced language models and computer vision capabilities. On this hardware, Omnisense is supported, the Amazon sensor platform designed for what the company calls “environmental AI”. It resorts to the 13 MP camera combination in the Echo Show, microphones, ultrasound, Wi -Fi radar, accelerometer and network signals to adapt Alexa’s responses to the context. The idea is that the assistant can anticipate and offer more personalized and proactive interactions. Amazon stresses that this new family Echo is compatible with Alexa+your assistant proposal with generative. The company ensures that the devices are ready to take advantage of these functions, but clarifies that in markets such as Spain there is still no confirmed calendar for its arrival. Price and availability of the new Echo Dot Max, Echo Studio, Echo Show 8 and Echo Show 11 The four new Echo devices can already be reserved and will be available before the end of the year.

However, after different sales and donations of shares, the family heritage of Jeff Bezos’s parents exceeds 40,000 million dollars. CEO is sought for fortune According to The Estimates of The Wall Street Journal and Bloomberg, Aurora Borealisthe company that is responsible for managing the heritage of Miguel Bezos, was founded in 2020 and, if it were a person, would take 48 position among the greatest fortunes of the List of Millionaires of Forbes.
