Welcome to LocalLLaMA! Here we discuss running and developing machine learning models at home. Lets explore cutting edge open source neural network technology together.

Get support from the community! Ask questions, share prompts, discuss benchmarks, get hyped at the latest and greatest model releases! Enjoy talking about our awesome hobby.

As ambassadors of the self-hosting machine learning community, we strive to support each other and share our enthusiasm in a positive constructive way.

Rules:

Rule 1 - No harassment or personal character attacks of community members. I.E no namecalling, no generalizing entire groups of people that make up our community, no baseless personal insults.

Rule 2 - No comparing artificial intelligence/machine learning models to cryptocurrency. I.E no comparing the usefulness of models to that of NFTs, no comparing the resource usage required to train a model is anything close to maintaining a blockchain/ mining for crypto, no implying its just a fad/bubble that will leave people with nothing of value when it burst.

Rule 3 - No comparing artificial intelligence/machine learning to simple text prediction algorithms. I.E statements such as "llms are basically just simple text predictions like what your phone keyboard autocorrect uses, and they're still using the same algorithms since <over 10 years ago>.

Rule 4 - No implying that models are devoid of purpose or potential for enriching peoples lives.

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.

March 2nd btw, not that we haven't known for years

Here's Legal Eagle talking to Gamers Nexus about the LG TVs keeping their mics on when the TV is "turned off" and transcribing conversations in plaintext.

tl;dr LG says they're not doing targeted ads or such with it.

The mics in theory stay on but not recording to detect the activation phrase, but because they're really just listening for "Hi" they turn the recording system on and then it stays on as long as sound is being made, all because you greeted someone in your home.

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.
