another development :)
my samsung TV loads a region specific convolutional neural network (LogoCNN.bin, cnn.mapping) which tracks your usage in app.
like in youtube it's looking for videos you watch, ads you skip, progress in a video, etc.
so glad they're interested in me.

Your TV might be one of 216,000,000 LG smart TVs sold worldwide.
Researchers rooted one and pulled plain text transcripts of what people said in the room.
It kept recording while the screen looked off.
If your TV can do that, it’s time to look at everything else on your desk👇🏻

turns out it classifies what audio it hears, before reporting back to samsung.
sensor preferences, dog-barking and baby-crying event counters, and camera streaming duration are built into telemetry paths.

update: the facial recognition code is used by samsung tv's and returns bounded boxes around faces.
code for facial recognition within the content was also found, investigating if this is used by their background services or if it's stock opencv code.
scans for bounding boxes in apps to track your usage can load new modules over time to expand coverage.
this is like 1 out of 50 things so far, and we're only just getting started.
There is something poetic about the fact that the last Jaguar looks like a tombstone. 🪦
Maybe a hot take, but I think the new all-electric Jaguar Type 01 looks pretty good. Their initial marketing strategy was terrible, but this production version looks good and somewhat cyberpunk like. Now the question is, will anybody buy it. Deliveries start in 2027. $130k starting price. 400-mile EPA range.
A lot at stake for Jaguar with this vehicle. It's a make or break moment for them because they've bet the future of the company on this thing.
