They're going to use that technology to spy us isn't?
Given that noise cancellation thus far as involved multiple microphones to identify background noise - yes
Why does every cool innovation have to have an immediately applicable shitty implication 😭
Eh, everything can be used shitty, but it's often more work to use a cool thing shitty than it is to just be shitty.
Like you could do this, or you can put a cheap directional mic in the ceiling where it has free access to power.
Being able to beat someone to death with a defibrillator doesn't undermine it's value as a life saving tool.
Why would they do this ? They already do it through your smartphone.
They're different people.
This tech isn’t at all needed to spy on you.
I was going to say, wouldn't this require recording of literally every noise around you in order to cancel it out?
They already do that in order to cancel everyone sounds, your conversation is the noise of the next table.
