Given the velocity of this industry and it being largely driven by corporations, how many individuals do you think will have control over their likeness vs their likeness being stored by some entity they did not explicitly consent towards?

I appreciate your take, I just think it is not in line with the current trajectory outside of some unique HN posters and the like - and even they will probably wake up one day realizing some entity also already owns their likeness, albeit the HN user might have a local copy they hand crafted themselves using some cobbled together hardware.

You do have a point. That is why I am not pushing it as a general solution and frankly why I am not super keen on putting everything on github for everyone to see. If there is only one dark joke of the current times, it is that pressing agree somehow constitutes agreeing to legally consenting all sorts of invasive practices.

I would absolutely not suggest doing what I am doing to an average user.

edit: Frankly, just by thinking I am above average I might be inviting a more risky behavior.
