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.

You’re correct; Which leads me to another point I’d like to make.
People that blame Americans for not doing ‘enough’ my response to them is to look around you. These panopticon devices are being sold in your country as well, we’re all getting fucked over by the same so-called elites that lord over us and have been doing that since the dawn of humanity when they realized they can pit us against one another. I’m so sick of that narrative I am not happy with this world and what’s going on in it even slightly.
It makes me violently ill to think THIS is the best humans are capable of and now the exploitation of everything - say I create a miracle cure-all nowadays. My days are numbered at best because now it’s not in the interests of the elites to have that.
I didn’t want to be believe that, that the world was so sickly like this, to be that pessimistic about it all, but looking around for even a moment you can see how far we’ve fallen as a species for total domination of the people these men and women view as beneath them. It’s driving me up the wall. I’ll actually protest instead of typing because nothing is going to get done otherwise - but protesting without violence is not going to solve this shit even slightly.
I can only do what I can where I am - which to be honest isn’t a lot. Economically I am not even 1/1000000 a grain of sand in comparison to the enemy but we are the sand of the Earth and we fucking outnumber them.
What are we doing. How do we get the ball rolling something needs to be done GLOBALLY not just limited to one location or country, we have a genuine stain a glut of inhumane monsters that rule over us literally in the Epstein files doing the most heinous shit we consider to be the most egregious things one can do on this Earth and we’re just going to fucking take it? I am losing my fucking mind. Like, what is this. Man.
EDIT: Formatting. I know this is a long text. TL:DR. I’m not happy.
I tell this to them all the time, but falls on deaf ears or they throw logic out the window. Something else I mention is the difference in logistics to pull off something of that scale in the US vs their home country. For example in France they only have one major city being Paris. Scheduling a meaningful protest of sorts would be trivial vs how it would be here in the US. They often forget this. Even communication across these distances without leaking anything to a government who has shown its colors is damn near impossible. This takes time. If they want to accelerate this then come over and show us how it’s done, but I’m not gonna lose sleep when they get blasted just touching the fence out front and nothing happens.
Yeah, exactly. It’s why places like New York or LA can have these amazing and powerful protests vs where I live, cannot (deep red). It’s like a different country between state lines and I mean vastly different from one place to another.
Realistically what I see happening is our nation fracturing. I don’t think it’ll happen in the next ten years but thirty or even fifty, I believe we’ll see states secede from the states. If things continue this way then the American experiment has failed. We had a good run but we’re on the way out the door which might be a good thing.
I don’t know. I just know I wish I could change it. Wish I had more power to stop this. It’s like I’m watching the world as I knew it literally decay but only for us down in the 80% of the K-shaped economy - which I am. When you elect a man like Trump, expect a man like Trump. He only cares for himself and the rich - and it’s not cause he likes them of course. It’s business. Why people thought a business man would be good politics is beyond me.
Who knows might just be in an echo chamber but it certainly seems like we’re going backwards globally not just in America either and people keep trying to admonish the fact their politicians are also in the cabal of this evil.
