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.

Why would OpenAI ban him for reverse-engineering Samsung's product? Only explanation I can think of is that he vibe-hacked his TV and didn't use a self-hosted model to do it. Which means that his findings, or rather ChatGPT's findings, should probably be scrutinized.

    Why wouldn't they?

    They're in control, they have no business letting the little guy feel like they have anything to say when a corpo is fucking them.

    Even if you're pro AI it should be pretty obvious that letting a corp control your usage of it is a bad idea.
