Reminds me of the Clearview AI controversy[0].
I'm not diminishing the ethics debate, but it's crazy to me how easy it was for two non-technical rich dudes in a garage to build Clearview AI (And before vibe-coding!):
1. scrape billions of faces from the internet
2. `git clone` any off the shelf facial-recognition repo
It was just a matter of when.

- ngcc_hk 9mo agoConcerned but given the use can it be stopped ?
- motbus3 9mo agoYes. If one knows that someone has their identifiable data without consent it is a problem. While they are pictures on the internet it is one thing, when you gather them all and put a label with a number then it is problematic. Remember that FaceApp to make you older, younger etc? Imagine how much data those guys collected? I know someone who submitted the face of a member of my family without consent. You could not even complain without agreeing with the TOS first
- Aherontas 9mo agoUnfortunately we will see this kind of cases more and more with AI rise. I don't believe it is the only app that could do relevant labeled searching in faces etc.
- DrScientist 9mo agoAm I the only one that finds it amusing that conpanies like Google and Facebook sent Clearview legal letters complaining about scraping data from their sites?
