Tools that can cause harm deserve scrutiny, regardless if OP make money or not.

Also who knows ? With enough popularity, OP might launch this into a startup.



> Tools that can cause harm deserve scrutiny

How on earth would this project, by itself, cause harm?

Sure, inattentive parents can lead to children hurting themselves, but that can happen while browsing gmail, or even when frigate is setup, does that mean gmail and frigate cause harm to children? Obviously not.


Gmail and Frigate aren't AI Baby Monitors. If you use Frigate as a baby monitor, it's absolutely worth scrutinizing your setup. The exact same thing can be said of a human nanny too. You wouldn't hire someone with no research.


No, but what about people planning terror attacks via gmail? Does that count as gmail being a "harmful" tool? You've seemed to have missed my point completely.


Yeah, which is why Google scans your messages for illegal content. Not sure if they scan for terrorism, but they certainly do for CSAM.
