Find me in my living room, reading aloud SQL injection attacks and AI jailbreak promps like the newsreader from Rome

I really hope one day people will look back at those practices the same way we look back at the normality of cigarettes being pushed on everyone back in the 50’s.
what about no. too many people are smoking today.
i mean, why wouldnt they?
life sucks, society sucks, world sucks, who wouldnt want to check out faster.
the same sucky life is even worse with heart disease, not that I don’t sympathise with the desire to get out but that’s a really dumb way to do it
One of my favourite people used to say “you gotta die from something” whenever the topic of his smoking would come up. Then he got a stroke that didn’t kill him.
Ya if it was just death itd be one thing, but becoming mentally disabled or something from a stroke is scarier to me
how about weaponizing your willingness to die against the world that made you want to instead of just dying peacefully
WHY BE THE [[Little Sponge]] WHO HATES ITS [[$4.99]] LIFE WHEN YOU CAN BE A [[BIG SHOT!!!]]
Suicidal people who don’t take at least one fascist with them? World is better off without them anyway.
Samsung is the second Electronics maker I’ve started boycotted, after Sony.
Sony was all the way back since the Rootkit scandal, Samsung was about a decade ago when a small tablet I bough from them have filled with unremovable applications and after a few updates became pretty much unusable because it’s didn’t have enough memory (clearly planned obscolecence).
Patting myself on back (and a little gloating) aside, Samsung has been clearly abusive towards their customers for a while (it was maybe the second electronics make to enshittify, after Sony) and this is not at all surprising.
Samsung has been abusive format least a decade
Sony has been abusive for at least two
People should have been imprisoned over the Sony rootkit scandal.
For those who don’t know - their music CDs had malware built in that automatically installed itself on PCs without prompting or notification that gave unsecured root access to any PC through a hidden service that couldn’t be detected or disabled from within Windows. It was as bad as bad gets. There was no hidden EULA or anything. They just straight-up installed viruses on millions of PCs that opened the door for other malware to install itself at the root level where it couldn’t be detected.
Sony should have been shut down entirely over it.
I just want a dumb TV at this point or an open source one that has great user control.
Imagine believing that they need “AI” to record us.
Look AI code gets a ton of hate. And rightfully so. But you can use a coding agent to basically completely take control of hardware you own. It takes minutes.
Examples/HOWTO?
Just open up any coding agent you like, locally hosted or otherwise, give it network permissions and the model number, and let it cook. These TV’s are basically unsecured.
Assume I’m a newb. What kind of prompt would you give it? “ I have model x. Please find it and fix the apps on it to not record my information”?
My conversation literally started like:
I have a local Samsung TV that is a good TV, but the Samsung software is absolute shit and I hate it. I dont want ads. I don't want their shit software. And I want to poison any telemetry streams they might be using to spy. I recently watched a gamers nexus video on hacking TV's. Can you look on my network and find the TV. and then do a research project to look into what it would take to de-shittify this TV?Your prompt*
One can’t converse with a non-entity
Edit: downvote me all you want, your computer and chatbot are inanimate, they don’t think, you cannot converse with them, and they do not “know”.
Well, if you’re being pedantic: prompt doesn’t seem to fit as it refers to the “user” turn, and not the thread resulting of the back and forth communication between the “user” and “assistant”.
User “turn”? The computer doesn’t have a “turn”, it computes and generates output, you then read the output. Any anthropomorphic way of imagining this is necessarily incorrect.
It is dumb-human emulation software. It is explicitly designed to portray an illusion of human interaction.
Prompt is the generally accepted terminology in the relevant professional field
