A hacker reverse-engineered his own Samsung TV and found alarming spying activity, including code that used connected devices’ microphones to listen to users.
These events need to be crimes.
join the political pressure for it to be so
Not like that, OpenAI!
Samsung has been banned from my house.
No what I’m shocked. Really they where caught using the mic or camera years ago. And I know Gamers Nexus has a hard on for LG but did anyone really think others where not doing similar.
How do you use ai to record audio? I mean, recording audio is just procedural code. You can use ai to process the recording, of course.
That’s Apple’s (Watch 18) newest semantic shenanigans to get around privacy laws, and it’s being echoed by Amazon (Bee) and now Samsung, apparently. They argue that, if local AI processes an audio input stream, produces a transcript and does not store the audio as a file, that does not constitute a “recording”. I’m looking forward to the look on the judge’s face once this bullshit reasoning inevitably reaches their court…
Dang, I want to upgrade my TV for christmas, and was thinking of a nice 65" OLED Samsung, as the “hospitality” TVs of the same size with OLED are like twice the price. I don’t have open WIFI, I use a computer and just the TV as a display, I thought I’d be OK. But I have a soundbar as well, so it’ll be listening to me regardless? Jesus fucking christ. The future we’ve built is terrible.
It there any TV brand that we can still buy?
I’m not really sure how I will be able to setup TV or something that allows watching TV at this point.
You can use androidtv with adb and universal android debloater next gen to get rid of telemetry. Hisense is a decent choice. It’s also possible to completely uninstall launchers with ads and replace them with flauncher which loads almost instantly

Buy more shiny stuff, its so cool man! What do you mean CIA tools? Look at the shiny metal edge andnthr colors on the screen, man! It sends my conversations somewhere?

Yeah yeah, I know, something about privacy, who xarea about that? You were born in 100% privacy, I was born in the age of monitoring, its cool cuz the devices are shiny man, they’re all shiney and so cool, buy another phone that will barely function anymore because its so riddled with spyware that the spyware has to check if its not innthr way of other spyware that will be spying on yhr spyware, but its cool bro, its just only your TV that spies on you, and your phone, but that is cool and of course the light bulbs are spying but they always did that, no? ITS SHINY MAN, AND SO CHEAP BUT SO SHINY THAT I CAN SHOW OFF MY RICHES, BRO!
I loathe this world, I hate what we’ve become, I despise what the world allows a few handfuls of narcissistic psychopaths to do to them…
a region-specific convolutional neural network (an AI)
That parenthetical annoys the hell out of me.
