Security concerns
[edit]It seems unlikely that the NSA would allow an unchecked Furby into secure premises even now. Indeed I doubt they'd permit any electronic devices without good provenance.
I also think the "NSA thought it had AI" trope is a probably a little over the top.
I think it's worth checking the following sources:
- the NSA documents - we link to 404, who say there is a copy on Internet Archive which would be a better ref.
- The recent BBC (3 part?) enter-mentry on the subject.
All the best: Rich Farmbrough 12:29, 8 October 2024 (UTC).
