Sora might have a 'pervert' problem on its hands (www.businessinsider.com)

In the last week or so, 10 out of the 25 most popular cameos using my face are various fetishes, including one where I'm a centaur-woman pregnant with octoplets. It's not just me, either. I've seen this kind of content made with cameos of other women: female creators, another woman tech reporter, and a female employee of a prominent venture-capital firm.

**I don't get why anyone is surprised **

but I figured, why not? And left my likeness open to everyone, just like Sam Altman.

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

Honestly about as bright as posting your credit card details on social media.

Privacy is something you can't really get back once you give it away. Your likeness is just another part of that

I'm pretty sure agreeing to the cameo feature was explicitly to find reasons to write a variation on this article. At that point, hey, she paid the price, can't fault her for putting out the article which legitimately raise awareness how your identity will be misused.

I mean that's basically the setup we have here as well. Problem isn't that... well duh if you consent to your picture being on the internet this happens... The problem is, this genie is out of the bottle. For now Sora is, kinda half assed attempting to follow a "only use real people that have consented". We already know, if it isn't codified into law... these things will be adapted by companies that don't care about the rules... and existing companies will also be more generous of what they can consent to etc...

She's a journalist and her photos are already out there.

All she's doing is driving follower inflation with her op-ed posted on business insider. Seems like a perfect choice given those circumstances.
