Hacker reverse engineers his Samsung TV and finds on-device AI listening for your dog and baby, watching what you watch, and borrowing your soundbar’s mic if the TV doesn’t have one. Then OpenAI banned him for reverse-engineering it.

    Not sure why you’d advertise this.

      To let people with Samsung TVs know that they are being listened to constantly without their knowledge?

        I mean sure. But this isn’t breaking news. The hacker is doing this as a response to gamers nexus.

        Lets just say I’ve got a TV which sat like a brick for so long I forgot I had it. I didnt use it for years becuase it was so disgustingly filled with ads and corpo slop.

        I now have total and complete control of that TV.

          OpenAI ban didn’t do anything to his TV. He still has full control of it.
