That little man has eroded any respect that he might have been a priori granted with his publicly documented descent into a vibecoding mania. I'm still in disbelief that the very silly photographer guy is the CEO of ycombinator. Ah well, it was a good era.
isnt it the same sort of reason you guys have actors for presidents? its about how well you can sell the message, not how good you are behind the scenes, thats what normies are for.

This reads like Flock employees are individually using the camera system to watch people in sensitive settings.
I'm unsure why 404 media is portraying this as related to a demo, it's seems like these are individuals acting independently.

or they have exact idea what they are doing and don't give a shit
Cluelessness seems more likely. They'd have to be pretty stupid to use a live video for a demo in this way - there is almost literally no benefit compared to something more carefully curated, pre-recorded and staged. The money saved would not justify the risk of something weird happening on camera and disrupting the sale. Or, case in point, the current headline. If they want a creepy vibe approach or to appeal to the…

404 media is massively underplaying what happened.

Note these people are targeting a community center across multiple months.

Answer to 1 is simple and obvious based on Flocks previous actions: they have no idea what they are doing and are reacting instead of planning.
They all should be prosecuted and jailed for life for the egregious harm and, if citizens, their blatant treason of the nation and the constitution. I don’t think people are aware just how bad things are with these tyrannical and dystopian Flock cameras and the tyrannical illegitimate, treasonous government officials that install them. They are tracking your egress and arrival in your neighborhood, your patterns of l…

> The camera doesn't prevent crime. It just displaces it. That's why I periodically leave a bunch of bicycles with cheap locks downtown. They act like a kind of criminal sacrificial anode, reducing crime in the rest of the city.
That's why the police don't enforce drug laws in _particular_ areas. What you describe is obviously already happening on a much larger scale. I'm not sure why people have trouble grasping something this basic.

#107All Flock footage should be subject to FOIA requests.
Including the footage from Flock cameras placed by private businesses on their own property?

#108> “The city of Dunwoody is one city in our demo partner program,” a Flock spokesperson told 404 Media. “The cities involved in this program have authorized select Flock employees to demonstrate new products and features as we develop them in partnership with the city. the two things i still dont understand are: 1) why is there not a dedicated demo environment for demos, like practically every other software? i cant t…
If it really has to be a live system, they could just set one up in a broom closet at hq?

I’ve seen dozens of these types of demos and it’s always live footage from a semi public place like this. It’s much easier to just show live footage rather than rig up canned looping footage. It’s pretty astonishing how no one watching the demo with me seems to care. No one asking “Hey, will you just be able to do this with our video if we buy from you?”
I would think they would have a real set of cameras for demos, but like in their own office or something. Not pointed at unwitting children. So dystopian
