Amazon fixes Alexa ordering bug, Microsoft rethinks AI data centers, and cameras capture every fan

Someone listening to last weekβs GeekWire Podcast caught something we missed: a misleading comment by Alexa during our voice ordering demo β illustrating the challenges of ordering by voice vs. screen. We followed up with Amazon, which says it has fixed the underlying bug.
