The future is here, and it's terrifying

Man hacked his Alexa to speak out of a singing fish, and it's horrifying

I'm beyond lost by just looking at the video. My grandparents had that same exact thing 15 years ago with the same exact song. They used to have many commercials of those singing Bass or whatever other fish doing 1 song. They were kind of a laugh at first, kind of like those little dancing singing Santas. I had a dancing santa that rapped jingle all the way, another person I met had one that did a metal version of a christmas song and danced too. Does that video have the hack???

Brian hasn’t given details on how he’s done it but he’s likely made use of the Alexa Skills Kit, an SDK from Amazon that let’s you use the Alexa voice recognition and speech service with your own hardware (wetware, aquaware?), just as Amazon does with their home assistant, Echo.

The legit video is pretty funnny. It'd be cool to do that. I don't know what program runs alexa tho. Cortana is windows. Be a cool hack to do tho.

Alexa is either Amazon or Google. Not sure which, but it's neither Apple nor Microsoft.
