In this post, we’re going to explore how the company Bright Data facilitates modern AI models scraping training data from the Internet using its residential proxy network.
Jokes on you! It doesn’t have internet access. All it has is an HDMI and power and that’s it.
I still need to agree to the term of use
It looks like the TVs are scanning for accessible WANs on their own, and they still store some data (I’m not sure what happens when they reach full capacity.)
Oh no
I’m not sure what happens when they reach full capacity
Same thing that happens to your computer or phone when it reaches 100% storage capacity. It slows to a crawl and crashes often, prompting the consideration of a new TV purchase.
Don’t worry, these companies are working on a way around that, too. https://vi-control.net/community/threads/lg-monitors-silently-trigger-malware-installation-on-windows.173754/
Oh phew. I thought it was malware through HDMI. I’m safe on my penguin
Yea just Windows for now, but still pretty messed up that they would attempt to hijack that discovery mechanism for malware, and that Windows is just like “sure!”
Jokes on them, our 50" plasma from 2007 is still going strong.
I have no doubt the Chromecast hanging off my TV is 95% as bad.
AI hype really is just crypto 2.0, isn’t it?
