NodeJS, ML, K8s and Unethical Face Recognition

Prototype combines Node.js, Twitter API, face-api.js and a sentiment library to pull follower profile pictures, run single-image recognition (often correct from one reference photo), score tweet sentiment, and store results via Mongo-like DB. Processing is queued with RabbitMQ + Kubernetes so CPU-heavy face descriptors scale by adding consumers; deployment uses containers on OpenShift. Demo shows some false positives (several mismatches, one person scored zero) and the system mostly works but exposes clear ethical and accuracy limits.
