Agree with you 100%. All I could think while I watched that Astro video was..."Wow Amazon would know EVERYTHING about my home." That and how tf did Astro get a beer? Meaning the husband put it there and I'm just like this could have been resolved by walking lol. Favorite part was the kid video chatting with grandma while, presumably, her mother worked in the background.
Aside from the data and privacy concerns, what also makes me so uneasy is how these both Astro and Apple Vision Pro sell like "connected disconnection" in their advertising. The mom working in the Astro commercial. The depressing dad filming his kids with the Vision Pro on. You know it's dark out there when the advertising is this B L E A K
The connected disconnection thing is a great point — and that's exactly what tech is trying to do in many ways, to be a layer that sits between us and the entire world, effectively a membrane we experience everything through!
