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.

There is literally a 100Mbps Ethernet channel in the HDMI HEC specification.
Exactly this. How do I control my Amazon Fire TV using my Samsung TV remote? It’s through this spec.
No, that’s HDMI CEC.
It’s one thing to have just a protocol for remote commands to go the other way around - which is very little data - a very different thing is what [email protected] pointed out, which is a massive generic data pipe.
I’ve edited my original post to point that info out.
Thanks for pointing this out.
I’ve edited my post to include that info.
Yeah, but I don’t think most cables have the HEC functionality built in. I think it’s a variant of HDMI in the same way that not every HDMI supports the same max resolution and frame rate.
