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.

What the fuck is “cyber abuse?”
Whatever the fuck they want it to. It’s like when legislators write wiggly laws that can apply to a huge range of sins and non-sins.
And, then the judges come in behind them and interpret however they’re paid to.
But, it’s all above board and legal. That’s justice.
Unless it isn’t legal, but that doesn’t seem to matter at all:
Clarence Thomas Broke the Law. Why Is He Not Being Prosecuted?
It’s when someone puts their flash drive inside your usb port without consent
The TV and Samsung are showing here what cyber abuse is
Computer Fraud and Abuse Act
Mainly the provision that gets people is the “unauthorized access” part — or in this case, exceeding authorized access.
It can be a pretty silly provision, because in some cases that just means visiting a URL that the domain owner didn’t expect you to visit.
Edit: Just to be clear to whoever downvoted me, I am not in favor of this law. I think it’s a bad idea and poorly written too.
“Trolling/low effort content”
Don’t be confused. It’s two things: Cyber and abuse.
This guy used “cyber” to reveal abuse, which is against the OpenAI TOS!
