- maximinus_thrax 8mo agoI am absolutely shocked
- globalnode 8mo agoflock safety were in one of y combinators incubator programs but to be fair, saying you want to make a camera company to improve public safety but then being used in a dystopian way... well it should have been foreseeable shouldn't it? Im conflicted in this, I love camera tech and its probably not going away any time soon, but wonder how it could be used responsibly for public safety only.
- Cipater 8mo agoThey actively WANT the dystopian surveillance state.
- cucumber3732842 8mo agoLot of money to be made for anyone who gets to pull the strings in such a state.
- alansaber 8mo agoYeah I suspect defence-oriented startups massively out-perform most categories
- flatline_ 8mo agoSource? That’s a substantial claim on a platform run by Y Combinator.
- Cipater 8mo agoY Combinator's CEO promotes and praises them almost every day.

- camillomiller 8mo agoPretty clear already that Ycombinator runs this very site as a community fueled decoy for their actual values (or complete lack thereof).
- lionkor 8mo agoId argue they run this site as a forum for tech discussions, because that alone gives them a huge boost to their image and name recognition, without any need for meddling.
- camillomiller 8mo agoWell, that’s what I meant for community-fueled decoy. We’re all, me included, our own unique bredd of useful idiots.
- Bender 7mo agoMore like a crowd-sources think-tank and SEO magnet.
