MODERATORS
The consensus a few years ago in /r/privacy was that it's too expensive and risky for smartphones to transmit audio data to their HQ, bandwidth constraints, processing power and capabilities considered.
Now... with higher specs and advances and optimizations in AI for audio transcription, would it be feasible to do all that spying but locally on the device itself? The device would transmit 'daily reports' after processing.
