Look 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."

We are talking about MIT. Their acceptance rate is around 6%. I am sure they get plenty of applications from the smartest American undergrads. Assuming that they choose the best and the brightest, it makes sense that they would have students from all over the world. Americans don't have a monopoly on intelligence.

Love 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.

but thermal imaging is already available without AI or WiFi..

I'll repeat it again.

- Machines that see through walls are coming

- Microscopic drones are coming

- Mind-reading machines are coming

- Private key cryptography will become obsolete

Fighting for privacy is backward. It's unsustainable. We must work toward a post-privacy world. The sooner we do it, the smoother the transition will be.

Just 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.

Does it matter if our WiFi points are always on?

Was just thinking that this reminds me of the alien weapon in Perfect Dark: https://youtu.be/8DlVQ6OjRcA?t=6s

Those who still have a few brain cells to rub together, think of Anne Frank.

maybe so... but only external walls right and even then dont you want wifi in the back yard?
