Fake due diligence? :)

6. FTX didn't keep proper records of who they employed. Employees and contractors co-mingled throughout the different companies without proper documentation of how they spent their time.

Certain employees can't be located: Which could mean that some employees were fake. https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:6999050...

I gave up on mycroft after a long wait and built my own with respeaker and picovoice. i have 2 of them with different wake words. imo it's way better and easier than snowboy. i dont understand why people give their data to amazon to set a timer :)

check their free stuff: https://picovoice.ai/pricing/

You are using picovoice as the assistant? Is it en entire solution for that? Or are you running a DIY Mycroft device with picovoice as the wake word detector? I'll have to check this out but I've been trying to stick with open source technologies where I can. I don't trust that a free tier will remain free forever, but it may be worth testing out.

oh no, i meant mark II, the speaker. I use their picovoice sdk. it has wake word and intent detectors - Porcupine and Rhino. https://picovoice.ai/docs/picovoice/ and https://ttsmp3.com/

i was going to add picovoice's speech to text with rasa https://rasa.com/ but i didnt have time, will give it a try over the holidays.

I see your point but not every open source project lives forever, like sonos killed snips.

seems rhasspy is good too https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22703035
