What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
This is amazing. Right after today's Daily Tech Update, I'm going to play for you a great clip from my nationally syndicated radio show. It's called, I know, The Kim Commander Show. Funny how that works. And hey, if you're not subscribed to it wherever you get your podcasts, what are you doing? You're missing out. You need this intel to live in today's world. If you purchased a new big screen TV recently at an incredible price, say $400 for a 65-inch 4K, you probably bought more than you bargained for. I'm Kim Commando for NetSuite. AI is everywhere. Companies using it are getting ahead. Download the free business guide, Demystifying AI Right Now, at netsuite.com slash kim. Why would a big screen 4K television that should cost $1,200 to $1,500 go for as little as $400?
Consider that every smart TV is built with something called ACR, Automatic Content Recognition. Every few seconds, ACR screenshots your screen. It doesn't matter what's on, cable, local, national channel, streaming, or even gaming. It's all in the database. That information is then sold to advertisers, politicians for political campaigns, insurance companies, you name it. And that's why you got a great deal on that TV. And now that great deal is spying on you.
Why should you be suspicious of a $300–$400 4K TV deal?

I saw this and I am baffled how this works.
What is ACR (Automatic Content Recognition) and how does it monitor my TV?
It's a regular two by four Lego brick packed with sensors, a speaker, LEDs, and a tiny chip. So kids can just build things normally. But now when you fly your spaceship around, it will make engine sounds that match the movements. If you build a car, it revs.
Right.
The bricks talk to each other. There's no app, no Wi-Fi. You just build and play. Launches March.
Here's the craziest thing. They take the brick, and they put it on a car, and they start driving the car around, and it's making car noises. Then they take the same brick, put it on a plane. They're playing with it. It's making plane noises.
Who buys the viewing data collected from smart TVs and why?
Then they put it on a duck, and it makes duck noises. But then they lay the duck on its side, and it starts making duck falling asleep noises, like... It's amazing. I am baffled how this thing works. Normally, I can look at something, oh, it probably does that, and maybe it does that. I have zero idea. I have no idea how this works either. I think I have one answer, and that's magic.
How can a ‘free or cheap’ TV end up spying on you?
That's the only thing I can come up with. They're wizards, and this is magic.
Think about this. The next time you step on a Lego brick. Right.
What promotions and show mentions are highlighted in this episode?
If it's one of these Lego bricks. It's just going to say, sorry, back to you. It's going to light up and do like a victory lap while you hop around. Or call 911. Why do those things hurt so much? I don't know.
