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.
