Y Combinator's CEO promotes and praises them almost every day.

Pretty clear already that Ycombinator runs this very site as a community fueled decoy for their actual values (or complete lack thereof).

[lionkor]

Id argue they run this site as a forum for tech discussions, because that alone gives them a huge boost to their image and name recognition, without any need for meddling.

[camillomiller]

Well, that’s what I meant for community-fueled decoy. We’re all, me included, our own unique bredd of useful idiots.

[Bender]

More like a crowd-sources think-tank and SEO magnet.

[maximinus_thrax]

I am absolutely shocked

[globalnode]

flock safety were in one of y combinators incubator programs but to be fair, saying you want to make a camera company to improve public safety but then being used in a dystopian way... well it should have been foreseeable shouldn't it? Im conflicted in this, I love camera tech and its probably not going away any time soon, but wonder how it could be used responsibly for public safety only.

[Cipater]

They actively WANT the dystopian surveillance state.

[cucumber3732842]

Lot of money to be made for anyone who gets to pull the strings in such a state.

[alansaber]

Yeah I suspect defence-oriented startups massively out-perform most categories

[flatline_]

Source? That’s a substantial claim on a platform run by Y Combinator.
