  It also twinged my implausibilty meter when they said there were several easy to find podcasts and blog posts on the depths of AiW, but didn’t link to any…

  I’m optimisticly guessing the devices talk to the router in such a way that their mac addresses can’t be eavesdropped out of the ether, and there’s enough mac addresses in the universe that cycling through spoofed addresses is unlikely to be fruitful.

  Though, I could learn a device’s mac address by setting up a competing wifi device, possibly by a: having a battery-operated one during a power outage or b: being friendly with my neighbors “sure you can borrow my Wi-Fi”.

  Now I’m curious how mac addresses are determined (like, is a Pixel 3’s mac address going to follow a specific pattern?) and I’m going to go look that up.

  Is that bypassable using a spoofed mac address?

  What I got out of it (including the clarification) was “AI ties to Alice in some way also Alice in Wonderland is deeper than you think” and the ties to AI were where I felt it was either nonsense or not written for the audience.

  Thank you. I follow a tad better.

  I don’t understand what you wrote. Please explain like I’ve not take a literature class since high school. (I read, but mostly for fun or computer tech information, which is also for fun.)
