You can back this Alexa-powered Terminator smart speaker on Kickstarter — and bring us one step closer to the robot apocalypse by Antonio Villas-Boas on Jul 28, 2017, 3:12 PM Why wait for Amazon's smart voice assistant Alexa to take over the world when you can just get straight to the point. You can now pre-order a smart speaker that's built in the shape of the head of the human killing robots from "The Terminator" series. The polished alloy gadget is a dead-ringer for the ones that tormented Sarah Connor, only it's voiced and powered by Alexa, not Arnold Schwarzenegger or — worse yet — Skynet.  Cyberdyne, err, AC Worldwide, an England-based audio products startup, on Friday launched a Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign for its new smart speaker. Check it out:

Each of the T-800 speaker's eyes is illuminated with a red light to replicate the T-800 robot's menacing gaze. The gadget's left eye also contains a high-definition camera.  Yes, with your funding, you can give Alexa — via the T-800 speaker — the gift of sight, which should accelerate its efforts to kill off the human race. The T-800 will even come with motion sensing so it can keep an eye out for intruders ... or study your behavior before it strikes.
You can apply a filter to shots taken with the speaker's camera to replicate the T-800's head-up display.
