Flock Exposed Its AI-Powered Cameras to the Internet. We Tracked Ourselves

I'm actually ok with cameras if literally anyone can access them. Let us post Flock shots of politicians and billionaires in real time.

So, you’re cool if I follow you around so I can tell when you’re out and can break into your home and steal from you?

We saw you took a different route to work this morning through a neighborhood considered less safe. For this, your insurance will go up.

Jokes on you, I'm a recluse!

Can people buy strong laser pointers that break the camera sensor?

You will be recorded doing it and further prove the "need" for these cameras.

Yeah. They’re probably hardened to some degree, but a green laser with at least a watt of power will still cook ‘em pretty good.

E: Obligatory warning that a 1+ W laser will also cook your eyes pretty good.

I heard that they have a built-in catalytic converter with more platinum than cars
