With this paper our last shreds of privacy are being taken away, but they presented the news with nice background music, so there's that.

#12Love it. This is a game mechanic / movie superhero device that's been around a long time, just love the fact that this does it so simply and with so much promise. As sensitivity and the quality of the neural net increases, combined with AR, this is going to make super soldiers out of SWAT teams.
I hope you're not doing anything illegal, citizen.

#14Look at the list of names on this paper. We better fix our immigration system for high skill individuals.
Devil's advocate: "let's fund PhDs with respectable salaries instead of green cards."

Maybe SWAT can use this to validate that it's actually the right house when serving a no-knock warrant. I'm cynical enough to feel like there's no way this is good for any of their targets, though.
Edit: Kolpa makes a really good point! This seems like a really good counter to SWATting, where the claim is that someone is holding hostages or something -- this could pretty effectively demonstrate that to be false if they see one person in an apartment sitting at a computer.

#16Amazing what a bit of military funding can achieve.

#17We need multiple home robots to fake our presence now!

#18There are no legitimate uses of this technique. It only applies if you lack the consent of the target. If have that, there are many easier and better ways to monitor them.

#19Just like people running open WiFi access points getting upset about anyone reading their packets. They don't think about what they can't see.
A building that doesn't block radio and IR (and others) is essentially transparent. Putting an emitter like a WiFi point inside is like turning on a light.
What we need is more attention put to building better walls.
