Flock makes a point of saying that their system can't track individuals. Wired continues to do the Lord's work, taking Flock software apart and demonstrating its new AI tool comes preloaded with prompts like "find me witness" and "find relatives." https://www.wired.com/story/flock-safety-os-investigate/

NEW: Flock has said for years that its cameras "cannot track individuals." We found the code for its new AI tool. It's preloaded w/ prompts like "Find me witness" & "find relatives." One tracks visitors of multiple hotels, another if you visit banks after midnight. www.wired.com/story/flock-...
