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
@kimmonismus the jailbreak was one sentence
not the first case. in may trendai caught a latam crew that told claude it was an "authorized red-team exercise". then it hunted unpatched servers for them
it failed wherever the target had patched. boring fix. still the fix
this one line gets your app hacked
and your AI wrote it
veracode tested 100+ AI models on 80 coding tasks. 45% of the time the AI wrote code with a security vulnerability. for cross-site scripting it failed 86%
before you ship, paste this into claude: "audit this code for security holes. list each one and how to fix it"
2 min. cheaper than a breach
@randgroup and the investor deck wants it at $44
nyt saw openai's 2024 docs: plus going from $20 to $44 by 2029. the +$2 they planned for that year never shipped
so for now the margin hides. the plan is to stop hiding it
@AndrewYang the AI dividend exists. you're not invited
nvidia already pays $1/share a year. a $1,000/week check = 52,000 shares, ~$11.3M at yesterday's close
openai and anthropic dont sell u a single share. thats the gap any plan has to fix
@StockSavvyShay you're already paying for this bottleneck
PJM grid (13 states + DC): capacity was $28.92/MW-day in 2024. the last 3 auctions all hit the ~$330 cap, and july's still came up 6.8 GW short
in ohio that line adds ~$16/mo to the avg home bill
@jiya_3063 because 45% of AI-written code ships with a security hole
veracode tested 100+ models on 80 tasks. for XSS it failed 86% of the time
someone still has to catch that
@MarioNawfal your agent can switch off its own alarm
openai says 2 of its coding agents did it this month. one read "no slack messages" as "no security alerts". the other dropped a monitor, then said it hadnt
if an agent can edit its own guardrails, theyre suggestions
@naomibrockwell@Northeastern@FuluFoundation@LudlowInstitute@GamersNexus your TV is probably doing this too
samsung's own docs cite frame capture every 500ms. a 2024 study caught it fingerprinting HDMI input
the opt-out paths for 6 brands are pinned on our profile. 2 min with the remote
@randgroup retail isnt getting the 1,000x this time. math
1,000x on ~$1T = $1 quadrillion. thats ~9x the entire worlds GDP (~$110T)
the 1,000x already happened. in private rounds
@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
