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.
