A Decrypt account describes an attempt to modify a rooted LG smart TV with Claude that ended with the set no longer working.
An attempt to modify a rooted LG smart TV using Claude ended with the device no longer working, according to a first-person account published by Decrypt.
The account describes the project as “vibe coding,” an approach that uses AI assistance to generate code. The author linked the outcome to making changes without fully understanding which parts of the TV were being affected.
Claude subsequently offered an apology, the account says. The supplied summary does not identify the changes that caused the failure or establish whether the television could be recovered.
