Scene from The Bourne Identity where he's scoping out exits and notes license plates.https://t.co/A6kWAswix5But I'm paying attention to HVAC sounds & taking note of how many people have masks & using walking gait as proxy of lung issues. https://t.co/WjqZe39J0C

In every room I'm in, i'm mentally simulating possible trajectories of airflow and taking note of how my body feels with reflect to chills and drafts. I'm also simultaneously trying to gauge how diseased the air smells.https://t.co/nGwaLnTvJc

Every-time I hear a cough, my Arrector pili muscles react and I suddenly am attuned to slight modulates in air and temperature. I begin to detect direction of air vents by feeling fan harmonics thru feet. Shifting back & forth nervously as my emotions compute it all in real time.

Thinking about how I can prove this. How I can turn this neural network tuned to detect dog-barks as a means to passively track people coughing using a microphone array.https://t.co/aoePzJvBaghttps://t.co/L9aK5kVBDh

Thinking a lot about ethics of recording passively with a real time sensory arrays.https://t.co/u9226I6TKZ"Across N.Y.U.’s microphones, the sound of human voices — recorded in snippets too brief to follow conversation — has become less common."https://t.co/Lx7NWEOCrq

Fun fact: if you turn your Alexa to be activated via the wake-word 'Echo', it will reliably activate almost any time anyone in hearing distance is clearing their throat.By reviewing recordings in app, could tell when people in the house were getting sick before they knew.

If Facebook & Google are able to detect when you are in "lean-back" mode via gyroscopes to sell ads better. Is it possible they could infer the health of people via gait tracking?https://t.co/AUjrUPXRbuHey Alexa, order more Kleenex.https://t.co/iFJi1yL7sy

Are we having fun yet?https://t.co/3isDuwtet2

I'm just describing what it feels like to have prolonged autistic meltdown.Have you ever noticed when people get into flow states their disposition changes?I think this is from changes in "default mode network" impacting sensory experience and emotion.https://t.co/cUy8gSuGkM

I refuse to own a device that listens to me while it is asleep.https://t.co/0lfdXXz8fRhttps://t.co/djx10rTTnJ https://t.co/0sRZXAyyNV


Urge to live in the woods intensifies.https://t.co/I2EXhMrYvt

Not sure if the woods are safe anymore.https://t.co/elybHGVSrE

"So he has developed a system in which he rigs a cell phone to stay charged by solar cells, attaches an extra microphone, and listens. From there, the device can detect the sounds of chainsaws nearly a mile away. "https://t.co/IkiCNJP7yVhttps://t.co/9aL3OKHr63

You can use drones to detect disturbed soil.https://t.co/bFJYSVVqmChttps://t.co/ZQfcbMyk1R
