Any chance there's a community effort afoot to jailbreak Google Assistant / Echo hardware to run open source voice assistant software?
There's been plenty of recent news about Assistant being pruned to death in typical Google fashion. Knowing that neither Assistant nor Echo are profitable technologies makes a person wonder how long before one or both platforms is abandoned and we're left with buckets of obsolete hardware.
Any chance there's a community / open source effort in the works to jailbreak these devices and repurpose the hardware for other use? For now I'm perfectly happy with my Alexa Media Player / Haaska / Home Assistant setup, but if Amazon were to yank the rug out from under me, WAF would be in the toilet in my house. It'd be great to have the option of using existing hardware with Mycroft, Jasper, etc.
