...due to seemingly installing adware on PCs and telling you to warn guests they may be recorded by AI features, to comply with 'wiretapping' laws

Here's the Gamers Nexus report.

TechRadar is a shitty content mill that, in this case, basically just half-asses a summary of the GN video, embeds a few Reddit comments, and calls it ~~macaroni~~ journalism.

Super short version for those who don’t want to fight the site, some lg monitors install upsettingly comprehensive spyware onto your computer.

Some lg tvs, years after purchase and with no warning, do the same thing to themselves. Like sleeper agents.

And I’m not talking “monitor the images” spyware, I’m talking “listen in on your every word and send the transcript to lg” level spyware. “We have clauses around wiretapping wormed into the user agreement” level spying.

"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.
