NEW: You’ve probably heard of police officers accused of abusing Flock searches to stalk exes and romantic interests. We got the code for Flock’s latest search tool, figured out how it works, and recreated it for all to see. @dell.bsky.social and @dmehro.bsky.social w/ the scoop:

This Is Flock’s AI Search Tool for Cops wired.com
AI Weekly's analysis →
  • Flock is testing OS Investigate, a chat-style AI that lets officers query a place, time window, or driving pattern and returns matching people.
  • The reconstructed code lists 69 prewritten prompts and 45 tools reaching plate scans, arrest records, dispatch logs, ballistics, and commercial identity databases.
  • Wired and an independent researcher rebuilt the interface without accessing the live tool, using code found in more than 450 files exposed through Flock's own login pages.

  • Andreessen has told multiple podcasts the meeting revealed a secret plan to effectively ban AI startups, which he says pushed him and Ben Horowitz to back Trump.
  • The officials say they held their tongue for two years and don't know whether Andreessen misremembered the discussion or misrepresented it.

Glassdoor has a very revealing report out on worker sentiment regarding AI. Workers' attitudes towards AI have grown increasingly negative, and extremely so in certain fields. This is happening as adoption is scaling, and workers have had *more* exposure. The more they use it,…

Recent commentary

feels kind of wild that the default great future achievement of LLMs is "someday if could cure cancer" when mRNA vaccines are in fact making progress on potentially curing or preventing certain cancers, very "we have curing cancer at home"

When I see "LLM haters are just using the free tier tech so they don't understand how far it's come" I sort of hear "you're just too poor to understand the future"

"people who don't like AI are just looking for any reason and will change reasons if you argue with them" what if it's just hated for...many reasons

i get confused by talking about the AI "circular economy" because for a while people have been trying to make "circular economy" a thing in terms of like, actually accounting for full life cycles and waste streams in commodity production and that...does not seem to be what the AI stuff is doing

Read a blog post by Bill Gates on the Gates Foundation website about AI and 1) OpenAI built chatGPT as a demo for him specifically to secure MSFT investment so this is your fault dude 2) if everyone knew I'd gotten an STD on Epstein Island I would simply withdraw from public life??
