VC are not reticent about porn, only about not making a killing at it if they go into porn. If they can capture any serious revenue flows, that is all they care about. Any discussion otherwise is purely safety speech. Interesting you should mention facial recognition, because that is what I turned the technology into - or reverted it back into. My 'digital double' creation for automated actor replacement involves neural net trained 3D reconstruction of faces. It originally came from pose correction for facial recognition. Being an animation/VFX, guy I licensed the 3D reconstruction tech from an FR company. After my startup efforts failed, the FR company hired me because I'd done the largest scale use of their technology at the time. Now I create mesh network appliances of their tech, combined with my production tech from my feature animation days, to create apps for dynamic FR security perimeters. The interesting thing is, the frame processing I do could easily be fed into a 'deep fake' system to produce crazy fake media pretty much automatically. We track faces frame to frame and project a 3D polygon mesh matching their facial expression. Need more?
