YOUR TV IS LISTENING TO YOU!

YouTube channel Gamers Nexus worked with Level1Techs, a technology-focused YouTube channel, and security researchers to analyze LG TVs’ tracking capabilities.

They shared packet captures that pointed to the TVs, including LG’s pricey G5 OLED TV, scanning the LAN for other devices.

It’s not a good look for LG and others.

Do you like to be listened and watched by your TV? Really?

Our opinions are assigned to us.

I was going to recommend this to @ScottAdamsSays yesterday before I heard the news. I still would and do, but expectations of him reading it are now respectfully zero.

That said, I'd highly recommend it to anyone interested in AI or the concept of consciousness. I can't wait to feed this into Grok later to see how many parallels it can help me draw between what's recently been done, and what Frank Herbert had ideas about so long ago (~1965-ish original publication in serial format!)

A little back of the camera action from yesterday’s #Minnebar19 ❤️ such a great day full of our #MNTech friends!

I had fun over the holiday break blending a vintage 1980s drum synthesizer from my youth (a Dr. Rhythm, aka Boss DR-110, circa 1983) with my own plunking and strumming on guitar, and an AI music generator.

Tonight’s #InnovateWithAI event at Alexandria Technical and Community College was super fun!

Great ideas were presented around #UniversalDesign and #IoT as well as new #MultiModal approaches to keep innocent people out of prison. ❤️

Had a great day today at the #MNSTEM convening - learning more about the needs of both education and industry and discussing how programs (like ours!) can help bridge the gaps. ♥️

Can you build AI-infused robots out of a bunch of old electronics from the Ax-Man Surplus Stores?

Why yes, yes you can. 🤓

Thank you, MN STEM Ecosystem and @medtronic for the incredible gift of a set of #VR headsets for our #STEAM programming! ♥️

We can’t wait to bring our #MicroSims and other #MultiModal learning objects to life within the metaverse! 🙌

Had a great time at the #IFALC today on the University of Minnesota-Rochester campus.

We had a wonderful session in the afternoon about the power of #MicroSims in education and we got to show the attendees how to turn their hand-drawn diagrams into prompts. ♥️

Storyboard from the first week of our Summer Sessions: Jon and Lyric were working on an #Animation and having a discussion about the X-Y axis in #Programming. “Remember Y to the sky” for when you forget which is the vertical and which is horizontal. https://t.co/ulPC56kwrH
