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.

Serious question, but how is getting banned from having an open A.I. account a bad thing? What am I missing here?
Edit: interesting feedback
> Uses AI to reverse engineer corpo spyware and show it to the people
> Gets banned from using said AI
> You: HoW iS BeiNg bAnnEd bAD!?
Thanks for the reply that the first of several downvoters was too lazy to do.
Edit: it never stopped OP from using their TV and IT ISN’T THEIR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY OR SOFTWARE. Maybe if they hadn’t been stupid enough to post it on the fucking internet, they’d not have gotten found out and banned.
The point was to post it to internet and expose what Samsung TVs do.
If that was the point, they’d have done it anonymously.
I mean, “@GamersNexus would this be something you’d like to cover” is a pretty clear giveaway that they wanted the story to blow up.
Yes, they should’ve done it anonymously, but I still think that was the point (I don’t see any other reason to post this otherwise)
Kimi K3.1 incoming 👾 Fuck this shit restricting REA / reverse engineering anything “DRM / encrypted” etc.
Sadly Kimi nerfed their cracking capabilities in fear of getting banned by the USA
Their own harnesses breaking out of their test environments and hacking third party companies is “oopsi” but their customers using an agent in a controlled manner to reverse engineer firmware of a device they own is bad. I see. Fuckers.
One of the things that AI is actually useful for. Banned!
Hey guys, I am starting to think AI isn’t actually for us.
What the fuck is “cyber abuse?”
In case anyone was ever curious if AI could be used against our corporate masters, here’s your answer.
I suspect that if the AI industry ever gets any sort of regulation, it will be to wrench any kind of power that end users have that may threaten the capitalistic hegemony away from them. Can’t have people reverse engineering their tech to figure out how they are using it to spy on you, cuz THAT’S CYBER ABUSE! :/
Why do people post things like this in twitter? Why can’t they write it up in a single blog post on a site that does not require users to authenticate to view the whole thread? I have never understood these long twitter threads.
Edit: I just remembered that there is a solution for this: https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/2113014142600953868.html but it’s still ridiculous that an app needs to exist to aggregate dispirate tweets, and of course it doesn’t work with the parent tweets because they’re not all one thread. Also this app quit working during the twitter API debacle, which is why I forgot about it, but it looks like it’s back.
