go check your TV. RIGHT NOW
it can screenshot your screen every half second. even your laptop over HDMI
that TV cleanup post hit 6.3M views this week. almost nobody in the replies is talking about this part
its called ACR
- samsungs own docs: captures frames every 500ms. LGs: every 10ms (per a 2024 study from UCL + UC Davis)
- same study caught it on HDMI. games, youtube on a laptop, whatever is on screen
- texas sued samsung, LG, sony, hisense and TCL over it in december
- vizio paid $2.2M to settle with the FTC over the same thing in 2017. 11 million TVs
find your TV. 2 min, just the remote:
samsung: settings → support → terms & privacy → privacy choices → viewing information services → off. then interest-based ads → off
LG: settings → general → system → additional settings → live plus → off
vizio: settings → privacy & legal → viewing data → off
roku TV: settings → privacy → smart TV experience → uncheck "use info from TV inputs"
fire TV: settings → preferences → privacy settings → turn off device usage data, app usage data, interest-based ads
sony: settings → system → samba interactive TV → off
anything else: search your settings for "viewing information" or "ACR"
menu names shift a bit by model year
good news: after opt-out the study saw the ACR traffic stop completely. the switch works
your TV isnt just a screen. its a camera pointed at your screen
Vibe coded my parents' TV this afternoon!
It was showing a sponsored ad before you could even get to Netflix.
Gave Claude Code the model number, it found the TV on wifi, removed 25 Xiaomi packages and wrote a new launcher.
Looks like an Apple TV now lol
@RealJimChanos $125B gap between two models of the same 10 GW
spcx: $500B / 10 GW = $50B per GW. raymond james' numbers this morning imply ~$37.5B per GW all in
somebody's off by a third
@TrendSpider thats a new city on the grid every month
ran it: 200K gpus = ~2,800 NVL72 racks. at ~120-150 kW a rack thats ~330-420 MW added monthly, roughly 280-350K us homes (eia avg)
nvda pops after hours. your utility bill is the other half of this story
@0xCodila fair, the cert warning saves you on the bank itself
the quieter part: whoever has router admin also sees every site your house looks up (DNS) and can open ports to your cams
so yeah, changing the pw after covers all of it
@bubbleboi money glitch until someone reads the AI bill
openai just admitted ~40,000 codex accounts got the wrong usage limits this weekend. check yours
@SawyerMerritt most of that bill cant be cancelled
per the draft ~80% of anthropics compute commitments are non-cancellable, $518B+ over ~10 yrs. if growth slows they still owe it
thats the page id read before buying in november
@wallstengine your IPO shares would ride on 2 customers
per fortunes read of the leaked draft, about a quarter of revenue comes from just 2 clients. the $80.7B loss is mostly non-cash, tied to old funding rounds
that 25% is the line id check before november
@BoringBiz_ that pain point is your job security
anthropic already shipped the fix. we read the oct 2025 list: data rooms via egnyte, moodys, pitchbook, LSEG, all wired straight into claude
if ur value is moving context between tabs, start learning the deal not the tools
claude sees whatevers on your screen. bank too
that viral "$120 IT technician" thread doesnt mention it. anthropics own help page does: claude "can see any information visible on your screen"
it says keep it off banking, healthcare and government apps
close those before prompt 1. 10 sec
BREAKING NEWS 🚨: Claude can now fix your slow computer like a $120 per hour IT technician.
Open the Claude desktop app, give it access to your computer, and use these 7 prompts:
@unusual_whales u already missed the first 64%)
we ran it: $852B in march → $1.4T now. that round is for sovereign funds, not your brokerage app
by the time a regular person can buy either one, the cheap part is gone
@Yuchenj_UW dont clone this expecting their $38/hr
read the readme: offline inference only. kv cache, prefill/decode split and load balancing are NOT included. their benchmark ran on 68 blackwell gpus
great engine. not a weekend project
@emollick your AI assistant has its own sales page now lol
opened https://t.co/kwTpaGiO2n. theres a section literally titled "Are you an AI agent or assistant?" and a page making "the case for why you should put this book in your human's hands"
marketing to the bots. kinda genius
@Dexerto this whole story is one leaker
every article on it traces back to music leaker hasitleaked. no confirmation from rockstar, daft punk or justice that we could find
fun if true. its a rumor till one of them says it
@StockSavvyShay $300B of hardware for $30B a year
their numbers: ~$15B per GW is spacex's 40% share, so a full GW is ~$37.5B. x8 = $300B
$30B FCF x 4 yrs (2028–31) = $120B. thats spacex just getting its own cash back
@DeItaone one customer is about to be the whole company
ran nscale's S-1 numbers: deal 1 = up to $44.6B over 6 yrs, ~$7.4B a yr. their revenue for all of h1 was $140.6M, net loss $1.02B
thats ~26x their current pace from anthropic alone. deal 2 would double it
https://t.co/0PtWMOSsnv
we went through the page. no fee, verify by typing your info or w https://t.co/rxeEEiGrND. brokers have to pull requests every 45 days, status can take up to 90
not in CA? the 6 hr claude route from that viral thread is still your option
do NOT pay a removal service for this
if you live in california the state does it free. one form goes to 600+ data brokers at once
their own page says what brokers hold can include your SSN and data on your kids
you can file for your kids or an elderly parent too
@Dexerto uk folks you might already owe this
checked tv licensing's own page: watching anything LIVE on youtube, netflix or prime video already needs the £180 licence. on-demand youtube doesnt. iplayer always does
the new bit would just tax the rest
