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
Unfortunately 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.
Am 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?
