@log4j, who has been reverse-engineering Samsung TVs, revealed he was banned from OpenAI — losing roughly $500 in subscription and banked resets. He says he never used OpenAI to exploit or find vulnerabilities, only local reverse engineering, which tripped the Daybreak safety system.
yacineMTB seized on the incident: "You aren't allowed to stop your tv from spying on your family. You have to ask for permission," adding "maybe we accelerate." The case fuels debate over how AI providers handle safety classifications for security research use.
