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.

now I wonder how much the Samsung phones are listening in
I mean, they definitely are.
My Mom was got ads for something we discussed in private, that not a living soul heard other than me, her, and her Galaxy phone in the room could have possibly heard.
…That was a Galaxy S9. And I thought I had stripped/neutered pretty well, no Bixby or anything, but apparently I did not.
I can’t imagine what the newer phones are data mining, but all I know is that’s the last time I would even look at Samsung.
I expect this will be my last Samsung phone. It would be better if I got rid of it immediately, but getting another android or iPhone doesn’t solve my problems. Perhaps a GrapheneOS, or possibly Jolla, but I’d rather and ARM Linux phone a la Nura. Hopefully this lasts until it’s daily-driver ready.
All Android devices have affected my targeted ads based on what I said.
