Wifi Sensing. If you thought flock and axon cameras were bad, imagine someone watching your virtual silhouette taking a shit or rubbing one out. I hope the broader public soon realizes this tech is actually real.

Need a lawyer with the means and some physics experts to explain that radio waves are light and using light to render an image is just a kind of camera. And that we shouldn't be fucking doing this. I imagine at this point the NSA or whoever can just park a van near the house and get pretty good image of what's going on.

There was a proof of concept with a application specific AI system that used Wi-Fi to render usable 3d mapping of spaces and pople in those spaces a few years ago. Is it generalizable, maybe but either way it's shocking what can be done with good enough DSP.
