Flock’s surveillance cameras have already sparked outrage. WIRED reconstructed its next-generation AI system, already in use by some police, to confirm it goes much further than tracking license plates.
Interesting article with some info I didn’t know about Flock. It feels like surveillance is increasing so quickly these days 🫠

I received a job offer to work at Flock, as a security architect ensuring tenants don’t see each other’s videos… I’m declining. Flock it.
You could bring them down from the inside!
Take the job and leak all their data

Yessss nice! But I wouldn’t blame you at all if you decided to get that bag. Times be tough
Times are tough, but I think a security architect is one of the positions that lets you choose an employer based on morals as well, because it pays well, and if Flock is already considering you, you probably have experience and money to pursue some integrity.
I don’t know. There’re limits to what can be considered an acceptable hustle imo. I get the whole American thing about not judging what someone works. but you gotta cut it at elbit systems or ICE.
Yeah, I do agree for the most part. I think anyone who has the option should avoid working at these places.
But I guess I just don’t have a fully formed opinion about whether it’s less moral to work for an evil org or to throw away a chance to support loved ones. I’m tripped up by the hypothetical scenario where a job is the difference for someone’s ability to put a roof over their children’s heads.
