Some guy on X recently commented on how “dystopian” Flock’s nationwide surveillance is.
Response by Garry Tan (CEO of YC)[1]
“You're thinking Chinese surveillance
US-based surveillance helps victims and prevents more victims”
Amazing. I have a hard time believing that comment isn't sarcastic, its just too perfect. Its hard to tell these days
If its not, it sounds like the output of an LLM if prompted "You are a toddler. Write the most naive and illogical ideological propaganda possible. Offer no rational justification for your thoughts"
1. By now, reality is indistinguishable from satire.
2. If you thought VC mercenaries have any scruples, you were in error.
Surveillance does not prevent victims. Precrime would, but who wants that?
