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.
Ironically, they’re still wrong, because even in their wildest conspiracies, they didn’t imagine Wi-Fi could be used to “take pictures” of a sort.
Tinfoil hat conspiracy theorists predate wifi by at least a decade
