This is basically how I feel about it. Capital is ruining the value this tech could have. But I don't think it's dangerous and I think the open source community will do awesome stuff with it, quietly, over time.

Edit: where AI can be used to scan faces or identify where people are, yeah that's a unique new danger that this tech can bring.

I've been watching a lot of geoguesser lately and the number of people who can pinpoint a location given just a picture is staggering. Even for remote locations.
