YC is a proud investor in Flock, what YC Ethics thing are you talking about?

And that Optifye.ai demo with the sweatshop surveillance software
And Cluely
Cluely is not YC.
he might be thinking of chadIDE "the first brainrot ide"
the same Cluely that's on IG? I thought that was a fictional satire.
And, Gecko Security.
Flock is an awful company, but what's the trouble with Gecko security? Are you talking about https://www.gecko.security/ or something else?
There are documented public disputes about Gecko Security’s conduct when it comes to claiming credit for vulnerability research. For example, FuzzingLabs publicly accused Gecko Security of copying PoCs and submitting CVE reports for vulnerabilities that FuzzingLabs had originally disclosed, and of misdating their posts to make it appear they found them first. Gecko publicly denied intentional wrongdoing, but later updated their attributions to credit the original researchers [1].

That's one example that's already reported online; I also have another related situation that isn't public yet and involves one of my companies.
