"There's an always-on hot mic functionality." Marty Bent on what Claude found inside a Samsung TV.

@MartyBent Another thing we assumed is true proven true ... why does it always have to be negative.

@MartyBent Never throwing out my 2012 Panasonic Plasma TV

I used grokbot a couple days ago to access my chromecast and do the same thing. Removed all the bloat and simplified the UI. Was incredibly easy. Just a matter of telling it what I wanted to do. Kept all the functionality. It’s snappier and no more annoying recommended content BS on the Home Screen.

@MartyBent Ow! My balls!

@MartyBent @grok can I use you to scrap all the bloat spyware on my old smart tvs in my house?

@MartyBent Samsung also makes phones and other "smart" appliances... what are the odds that those devices are also sending similar telemetry back to Samsung... Id say there's a non zero chance its happening... sames goes for every other vendor selling you products.
