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.

No. LG says they’re not recording your private conversations continuously. Their lawyers didn’t have them add that qualifier for nothing. As long as they take a break a few minutes a day they can still claim they aren’t continuously recording. And they absolutely are recording you, the law be dawned.
Until people are imprisoned and the fines are large multipliers of the money made off this bullshit, it will keep getting worse.
Soon enough, I expect TVs to have built-in cellular modems so they can collect and transmit data even when you don’t connect them to your network.
That’s when you open the tv up and drop a blob of solder on the modem
And then they’ll make TVs that refuse to boot if they don’t detect a working modem.
Sadly, I think this is where we’re heading if the arms race heats up.
