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.

I tried to get Claude helping me hack my LG tv to get rid of all of this invasive crap, but such things are blocked by Anthropic. Guess I am a bit too late here.

    If you're still interested try other models like Deepseek, Kimi or glm, they were all willing to engage with it when I just tested asking about hacking LG 65" QNED70BSA AI Mini-LED Smart TV.

    From what they said LG is patching aggressively though. The most useful resource I got from it is this site: cani.rootmy.tv

    QNED70BSA Found QNED70BSA.AAU (webOS 26 (11.x), machine: k25lpn, otaId: HE_DTV_W26P_AFADATAA) Unrootable or unknown (yet) No known rooting methods are available for this model. Contact us to help us find a way to root! ©2025 RootMy.TV & webOS Homebrew
