Podcast: We Tracked Ourselves with Exposed Flock Cameras

•

How we tracked ourselves with exposed Flock cameras; a year in review; and our personal recommendations on all sorts of things.

We start this week with Jason’s story about Flock exposing a bunch of AI-powered cameras. These cameras zoom in on people as they walk by, sometimes so closely you can read what’s on their phone screen. After the break, we talk about some of our biggest stories this year. In the subscribers-only section, we give some of our personal recommendations of games, other reporting, or just a more chill life.
