In 2016 there was an Atlantic article detailing all the different ways wifi could be used to spy on you.

> By analyzing the exact ways that a Wi-Fi signal is altered when a human moves through it, researchers can “see” what someone writes with their finger in the air, identify a particular person by the way that they walk, and even read a person’s lips with startling accuracy—in some cases even if a router isn’t in the same room as the person performing the actions.

I'm not surprised training models on this data made the process much easier.

Anyone else picturing this as like the Netflix version of Daredevil when they show you how he perceives the world through sound?
