Yes I saw they (LG) have responded to the Gamers Nexus investigation.
Let me go through it claim by claim.
LG says: TVs don't record ambient audio.
Their position: voice data is only processed when you press the voice button, say "Hi LG" after activating Far-Field mode, or when the TV is monitoring for the wake word in standby.
What Gamers Nexus found: the TV was converting speech to plain text and storing it in on-device logs. the microphone window stayed open 10-15 seconds after speech ended, capturing bystanders. audio was recorded while the screen appeared off and Ethernet was unplugged, then uploaded when the TV reconnected.
LG did not address the plain text transcripts or the offline recording in their statement. Tom's Hardware noted this explicitly.
LG says: ACR is opt-in.
This is technically true under current settings. but opt-in for ACR is not the same as opt-in for the network scanning, the device fingerprinting, or the background data collection that Gamers Nexus documented via packet capture.
LG says: network scanning is standard and enables smart home features.
One test TV identified 38 unrelated devices including phones and printers belonging to people not involved in the test that's basically mapping your neighbors.
What LG did not address:
— the plain text transcripts of speech stored on-device
— the 10-15 second microphone window after speech ends
— the offline data caching and delayed exfiltration
— the remote code execution vulnerabilities in webOS
— the scale: 216 million LG TVs currently active worldwide
LG's denial is selective they addressed the easiest claims and left the hardest ones untouched.
This must be breaching just about every privacy law out there.
LG says they own your TV, that you bought for 2k+ dollars. So they scan your network for devices and record conversations for “targeted advertising”. Creepy as hell indeed.
Thnx @GamersNexus

You are coming across as a little slow, so let me explain - not being able to speak in another Indian language does not make you illiterate. If so, do you consider yourself illiterate because you don’t speak most Indian languages? I mean, fair is fair.
Kerala saaaar...
100 % literacy saar...

go fuck yourself @sama
claiming that you solved navier stokes because 10000 agents ran in circles for 88hours on a multimillion dollar gpu cluster to formalize in lean a blowup case under controlled external forcing is pure scientific vulgarity the clay mathematics institute millennium prize does not ask m whether you can artificially force a singularity in a fluid by injecting an ad hoc smooth external forcing term f(x,t) to twist the vortex until it breaks the real problem questions the fundamental stability and global smooth existence for 3dimensional incompressible euler & navier stokes equations under natural conservation laws and viscous dissipation alone using a mathematical loophole on forced equations to parade a century old victory is a major conceptual scam Altman
technically & epistemologically what you present as an agi breakthrough is nothing more than bruteforce combinatorial autoformalization the ai did not understand fluid mechanics it simply navigated a continuous search space previously mapped out and constrained by the monumental work of human mathematicians like tristan buckmaster/ levent alpöge / diego córdoba or tarek elgindi coordinating 10000 agents to check the logical consistency of a 100 page proof via lean is a software engineering feat and computational parallelization triumph not an intrinsic scientific discovery it is the victory of the compute bulldozer over abstract human intuition repackaged for the public as a higher mathematical consciousness
to this theoretical imposture you add a disgusting ethical and industrial cynicism taking advantage of private codex sessions and informal preprints from academic researchers to siphon their research leads and then trying to redact or erase the contribution of levent alpöge under the pretext that he works at rival anthropic is intellectual serfdom openai behaves like a feudal lord of silicon appropriating the cognitive subsistence of independent scholars threatening their careers behind closed doors if they protest and turning community academic labor into a privatized pressrelease
this entire staged event serves a desperate financial agenda in a pre ipo panic facing the slowdown of scaling laws and growing investor skepticism over the profitability of foundational models openai needs to manufacture an artificial sputnik moment claiming to solve a millennium prize without immediately submitting the proof to traditional peer review means using the prestige of fundamental mathematics as cheap marketing fuel to inflate a delusional valuation!!!
real science is not a clout chase on social media or a compute spike spent to rob the clay mathematics institute it is a quest for elegance physical truth and universal rigor to decode reality true artificial intelligence will not emerge from hostile corporate takeover of academic work hidden behind computational bruteforce but from architectures capable of generating new conceptual paradigms by masquerading constrained formalization as the collapse of physics greatest mysteries you did not solve navier stokes you only proved how far silicon valley will go to prostitute scientific integrity for capitalist spectacle
