We are The Flock: a collective of data scientists, computer scientists, humanists, and professional writers—people curious about algorithms and society. We use the Flock identity to work anonymously. The work here goes beyond the bounds of respectable algorithmic design and conventional thinking. None of what we write should be taken as representing our respective employers. We inhabit the liminal space between cutting-edge technical development and social impact. Life here can be difficult and messy.
Trigger warnings: what you read may be controversial and technological—but never boring.
We enjoy interaction, but we do not concern ourselves with hurting the feelings of robots or algorithms. We do not believe in equal rights for machines or numbers. If you wish to make a point that will be read, please do so in as human a way as possible.
