> municipalities get paid to put up the cameras I've read lots of FOIAd flock contracts, and I have yet to see any municipality get paid by flock - they pay flock per-camera. Is that just a hunch, or are there cases of towns getting money from flock?

One source told the publication that money is not unlimited, no matter what Sam Altman might say, while another said that they prefer Microsoft over OpenAI as a tenant, as “they are more creditworthy.”

Reminds me of that New Yorker Sam Altman article
