pushing the argument to its limit : what happens if we can recover any speech from this or that material (moving leaves, bags, lips movements (AI would be good at that), changes in magnetic fields whatever). should we assume that there is no such thing as a "safe place" anymore ? One could argue there never was (because, for example, police can eavesdrop) but, this article implies it can reach a whole new level... How is that kind of technology controlled by those in powers ? Considering Apple is valued at gazillions of dollars, I guess those technologies will be worth a lot and be available to some others very powerful people... James Bond looks quite outdated to me now :-/
- xapata 8y agoMicrophones are already quite good. If you can be seen, you can be "heard". That has been true for many years. I think there was a scene in the movie Enemy of the State involving cone mics. The difference with this technology is that someone can "hear" you even if you're around a corner.
