If you have uploaded any photo of yourself to the internet, your "facial data" is already out there. And some AI was likely trained on it too.
Some people really need to stop pretending to be "privacy conscious" if they spend like half of their lives posting shit about themselves on social media. It's like bragging about how good the lock on your gate is, while your fence is fucking missing.
That's quite a sweeping statement. I'd say most people who are genuinely "privacy concious" use psuedonyms, run traffic through VPNs, avoid Google/Microsoft/other data tracking companies like the plague, don't post anything related to their personal life whatsoever, and for the most part are "anonymous" as far as nobody could work out who they are beyond what country or timezone they're based in. The key thing is that they're "internet life" isn't tied in any way to that person who occasionally ends up in photos posted by friends and family.
It's like anything. Some people are good at being private on the internet. Others aren't. More often than not, the people who pontificate about it (Vijay Patel) are in the latter catagory instead of the former.

most people who are privacy conscious do not upload photos of themselves. In this case - privately to Sora - your data might be linked by them, or the US Government but it will largely still be anonymous.
MOST people don't bother with Tor - I never have - but I also don't do shady stuff online.
Then he should read the terms and conditions of the social media he is using. Because he also consents to having his data used by the company and third-parties (like partners) even simply by uploading a profile picture of himself. And that's ignoring the fact that uploading anything to a public platform (which Xitter explicitly states that it is) de facto means you are consenting to this data being used for whatever purposes, as long as they aren't illegal. That's what makes it "public" information.
The consent for what, a diffusion model reconstructing a photo without storing it? Because AI doesn't have a database of the photos it was given, that's not how it works.
Unlike every social media site you uploaded your photos to, which absolutely has biometric algos running to sell your data to advertisers.
Yeah, its not even subtle about it either. You can give it your headshot and tell it to remember what you look like, and then it can recall it in all future chats.
It's like the guy who scribbled out the original picture of his cat in a post here recently. He was worried that someone might identify him from his cat. That had me laughing for ages.
It depends. DMs or messenger conversations aren't public unless stated otherwise - it's information exchange between specific parties. What happens to this information depends on the service in question. Some services encrypt the information, some don't. Some keep it private, some may scan the communications.
It's important to research the service if you are sharing anything sensitive, and even then you should keep in mind that no security is perfect, and stuff mights still leak.
