Flock Safety's Mic Upgrade, Micron-Perfect Egyptian Vases, and the Hanta Hoax: SITREP

Flock Safety, the AI surveillance company that installed nearly 100,000 cameras across 49 states without public consent, quietly pushed an over-the-air software update converting its taxpayer-funded gunshot detectors into always-on microphones under a feature called "detecting human voices in distress." I also traced claims about micron-precise pre-dynastic Egyptian granite vases, verified that the word "hanta" translates to "fake" in Hebrew slang, and flagged China's new legal precedent barring AI from replacing workers.
