I think Anthropic told them being a plumber is a great option.

It's called choice. Maybe a dumb choice, but a choice!

The last thing I'd want replicated in the US is UK governance.

The last thing I'd wanna replicate is any kind of blanket statement like that.

The people running Flock are simply bad people with the completely wrong temperament.

We shouldn't have these cameras at all but even if we were forced to have them the people running Flock are the last people who should be in control of them.

The way they act on social media and in interviews they just come off (and surely are) fragile ego children.

I read the letter as the CEO feeling pressure from his bosses to give opponents less ammunition lest he be replaced with "sober leadership". Flock truly has been their own worst enemy.

We should anticipate a future where a more competent malicious actor like Axon is leading this industry. As the Kleenex of surveillance cameras, Flock has poisoned the category, so I don't think switching brands will fool anyone, but we will have less of an attack surface.

Their right to a business model doesn't outweigh the right of the public to not be harmed.

You know with all this AGI swirling around nowadays that is stronger than nation state hackers you think one of these companies would demonstrate just how capable they are by defending public infrastructure.

Unless...

Maybe in 6 months.

LLMs are better at attacking than writing secure code.

LLMs aren't terrible at securing systems, humans are bad at using secure systems and typically disable measures with insecure workarounds.

thanks! was just wondering. maybe some issue with the implementation of manual movement of posts.

Good question. I'm intentionally leaving it vague to see what people come up with.

Also, I've seen what you are describing a few times. Usually happens in companies with certain financial incentives to hide "problems"

Yeah, I hoped someone would show up looking for a hacker in the "I wrote a SIEM rule so good it got me fired" sense, but life isn't a television show and there are rarely happy endings for good deeds.

(It wasn't a business -- that's what makes it worse. I can choose not to give someone money, but I can't refuse to transact with "The State", so any security issues are compounded.)

the infinite scroll loop is cool but a bit nauseating lol
