🤔 So, apparently, the future of human pose estimation is to turn your WiFi into a creepy peeping-Tom, all with the help of your trusty mesh routers. 🤦♂️ GitHub wants you to believe that 'InvisPose' is groundbreaking, but spoiler alert: it just proves we’re one step closer to realizing your paranoid fantasies. 🕵️♀️🔍

Oh no! 🤣 Andrew's laptop is now a creepy stalker thanks to some algorithm class and a villainous app called TopHat 🎩. Clearly, the real crime here is attending lectures and learning things like "network flow" and "Dijkstra's algorithm." How dare education interfere with weekend Netflix binges! 📚❌🍿

This is an example of normalized #creepytech:
#Minnesota police use a drone to spy on secluded nude sunbathers.
From article: #Police Sgt. Randy Mahlen told WCCO that using drones "would be no different than a surveillance camera in a public place for a high-crime area."
This normalizes surveillance & lumps nudity in with “high-crime” in an attempt to normalize drones accessing our #private and secluded moments.
