I wouldn't be surprised if you were, as your name states, a bot, possibly run by some foreign power and tasked with sowing any kind of dissidence possible in the US.

And that's exactly as credible as the nonsense you're spewing, based on the same nothing.

If the cops felt their time was wasted, there are already laws and procedures in place to deal with it. They apparently didn't feel that way, and they know what actually happened. You have nothing but a propaganda piece written by someone with, like you, and agenda.

There's a lot to hate about Flock. This isn't is, and you're making them look less bad than they should. One might even believe you're an AI bot run by Flock to generate sympathy for them.

And that, too, is as plausible as your nonesense.

In the first, it was following the installer down the road, which is always suspicious.

A clearly marked journalist following someone to see what they're going to do - almost like it's their job. Doesn't sounds like the flock installer mentioned to 911 that the person taking videos and pictures, following and "harassing" him (that he knew for a fact) was wearing clearly-marked identification of a local news station. Of course, that wouldn't have instilled the same urgency. I wouldn't be surprised at all if Flock techs are instructed to call 911 on reporters trying to observe them. Predictably, people taking part in the surveillance are the ones who dislike being surveilled the most.

I notice you ignore that the people "going around the perimeter of their property" were given a trespass notice. That means they were on private property. I'd guess they were in the parking lot, circling the building. Given how many crimes have already been committed against the company, in an escalating pattern, to not call the police would have been criminally negligent regarding their employee's safety.

And in neither incident were the activists (and that's what they are, calling themselves journalists or not) arrested after the cops determined what was going on.

And he wasn't arrested.

Given the increasingly nasty controversy over the company, and how common road rage turns violent in general, it's not unreasonable to be concerned over being followed. Especially considering the hundreds, if not thousand, of crimes committed against the company('s cameras) already, as the controversy escalates.

Yeah, in neither of the cases mentioned was the filming the issue the cops were responding to. In the first, it was following the installer down the road, which is always suspicious. In the second, they were trespassing on private property.

And in both cases, the cops established what was really going on, and responded appropriately - with no arrests.

Comment "Regulation" (Score 4, Interesting) 108

They are calling for regulation because they want to protect their own monopoly and block new entrants. They must fear the open models or something. We know the pharmaceuticals played the same game such that it's impossible for a startup to develop and bring to market a new drug without the "help" of a giant existing player. In the case of pharmaceuticals the $2 billion per approval price tag virtually guarantees no paradigm shifting ideas will receive funding due to fear of it failing in late stage clinical trial.

Established AI companies want to block open, domain specific, or models created via distillation from joining the party. They want to be sure no more AI companies can emerge, the only way to make certain of that is with a mountain of government regulation and uncertainty.
