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.

People keep saying this, but there’s not a ton of info out there to substantiate it that I’ve seen. More than 100 of those Flock contracts were canceled in September alone. I think it’s just speculation, but there is also an election in a few weeks, so I suppose it’s possible we could see a pivot post-election.
I also don’t think a brand change is going to matter. People are pissed in bi-partisan fashion, and it’s weird, but there’s something about this level of surveillance that has inexplicably radicalized otherwise apolitical people.
It’s not so much a matter of hope as it is a matter of what’s dangerous to the state, which is ironically why Paxton’s so hardcore on this. TV’s being weaponized as mass surveillance tools is, evidently, something the state was not clued in on and most of these are manufactured in China. I don’t think any US government at any level cares much about intruding on civil liberties, but they do care about protecting the Epstein Class.
