Flock has a series of bizarre, obviously LLM-generated blog posts trying to convince the public that they are working "toward a future where compliance and community trust walk hand in hand"....
Flock's founder is just as dangerous a tech-bro as the company he created [1]:
> Langley offers a prediction: In less than 10 years, Flock’s cameras, airborne and fixed, will eradicate almost all crime in the U.S. (He acknowledges that programs to boost youth employment and cut recidivism will help.) It sounds like a pipe dream from another AI-can-solve-everything tech bro, but Langley, in the face of a wave of opposition from privacy advocates and Flock’s archrival, the $2.1 billion (2024 revenue) police tech giant Axon Enterprise, is a true believer. He’s convinced that America can and should be a place where everyone feels safe. And once it’s draped in a vast net of U.S.-made Flock surveillance tech, it will be.
This guy literally wants to replicate China's social credit score and ubiquitous surveillance in the US - and instead of shunning him, the company and everyone on their board, payroll and investors like an effort of that scale deserves, police, law-and-order freaks and many municipalities flock to it.
I don't get this either. My code doesn't have "base text"...everything is something! I can see that not being the case for something like HTML, but not for most programming languages.
More like the 80s but true. Also maybe worth remembering that Thiel was outed by Gawker. He didn't come out as gay of his own volition and perhaps never would have.
It helps that the rebrand may lead some people to believe that there are actually new and better inputs into the system rather than just more elaborate sandcastles built in someone else's sandbox.
Surely Jim is also using an agent. Jim can't be worth having a quick sync with if he's not using his own agent! So then why are these two agents emailing each other back and forth using bizarre, terse office jargon?
