I mean, wouldn't you anyway? You don't wear your good Sunday tinfoil hat to work. That one's for church and swinger club visits only!
Yeah, wouldn't want to have to change hats, when I go to the swinger club after church.

I've seen some article recently that the patterns of Wi-Fi/Bluetooth (don't remember which one) interference with brainwaves can be scanned to reconstruct brainwave signature remotely, meaning that it might be possible to scan anyone's EEG from Wi-Fi/Bluetooth distance. And there are some AI advancements for reconstructing inner monologue from EEG. So maybe we're not so far from actual remote mind-reading.
You had non work related thoughts on three separate occasions last week. Please report to HR for attitude adjustment.

they're more privacy-preserving than visual images.
hhhhwat. How can they identify you and also be privacy preserving?
Well, the alternative would be a camera in every toilet stall. See how our benevolent corporate overlords only have our best interest in mind?

Here is an award for the best comment in the thread.This may be the largest gap between the quality of an actors performance vs the movie it's in.
Truly an abysmal movie, but Rahul Julia is so much fun to watch in it.

I'm impressed there's a gif for this

I'd imagine it's like online advertisers: they convert your fingerprint to a token to try to sell you shit, but they allegedly don't know who exactly you are or where you go. So visiting animatedllamaporn.com is still your little secret...

accurate matches up to 95.5% of the time
and they’re more privacy-preserving than visual images
Oh fuck all the way off.
My thought exactly. Their definition of privacy is... interesting

I feel like you’re overthinking this. These are people who buy crystal-infused drinking cups to reset their personal feng shui. (Spoiler: it’s just glitter.)
I really wish I didn’t have morals. It’s so easy to make money if you’re willing to fleece people.
It's so true. Would you like to buy some Trump memorabilia? Made in 100% American spirit in China

Well it could be pretty handy for home automation.
I wish this was the goal, instead of large corpos doing large corpos things

The Sapienza computer scientists say Wi-Fi signals offer superior surveillance potential compared to cameras because they're not affected by light conditions, can penetrate walls and other obstacles, and they're more privacy-preserving than visual images.
[…] The Rome-based researchers who proposed WhoFi claim their technique makes accurate matches on the public NTU-Fi dataset up to 95.5 percent of the time when the deep neural network uses the transformer encoding architecture.

So wear many different hats. Got it.
Many different items of tinfoil clothing. Tinfoil shirt today, tinfoil codpiece for the weekend

Someone’s going to use this to drop missiles on “baddies” with their sleeping families in 3 2 1
Reporting about starving children? That will be capital punishment for the whole family.

Let me know when I can selfhost LibreFi Security on my router and use it for myself. Sounds great for private home use.

Have you tried turning off the router?

They can see you're a person but not exactly who you are.
How is that a "fingerprint"?

Yeah, but then I had no excuse to wear a tinfoil codpiece.

It's all AI. You should not worry about it. In fact you should not think about it. All is going to be fine.
This is fine.

Well they can identify you are the same person but not your identity.. So it's like a disenbodied fingerprint.
I suppose they could potentially make some database and train an AI on it someday to match to actual identities, but usefulness would be pretty limited at only 95% accuracy. That's a false reading 1/20 times, so I suspect it would fail bigly to accurately recognize people from large data sets.

They know you are a person and they can call your a certain UUID, but there will be a hard time matching you to your name etc.
Camera's can do face recognition (if your face is even in the database) to know who you are.
This only works until the point where they have your form in a database which they can check...
We have heard this non-sense before, only to find it's trivially easy to connect to your PID.

Neat. Good luck protecting yourself from this.
On the other hand, I’m seriously considering opening an Etsy shop selling foil-lined clothes. I’m pretty good at sewing. What do you think?
