Pretty sure Apple and Google already do this, just to all phones, in all homes, and not just for music, but your entire life! No consent needed. Have a nice day! :)

Comments like this worry me that HN is being dragged down with the wider culture wars and truthiness that’s destroying all that we have. I would hope for better in this forum.

This comes up a lot, but the reality is that people are fairly predictable and Apple and Google don't need to literally listen (expensive) to make fairly accurate guesses about your behavior.

All they need is enough metadata.

What has happened to HN commenting?

Everyone is trying to make reddit hot take comments with a sneer as they type it out.

Anyways. This is a cool website.
