    Funny demo.
    But what it the person doesn’t understand your language.

      They read your English off the phone

    Perfect for when you don’t speak the local language, but the person you’re speaking to understands English, but doesn’t want to speak it.

    That’s pretty rare. And … it’s also already a phone app.

    This would work WAAAAAAY BETTER as AR text subtitles in the glasses. But you dont need this because we all have google translate on our phones. Its honestly easier to have them type what they wanna say in their phone and have you read it in english and you type on your phone and show them in spanish.

      Unless they don’t text. I have an old man I talk to and he refuses to text. His accent is so thick that Google translate can’t figure out what he’s saying. I’ve been trying to learn the accent but it’s been a struggle.

      Too much work what if you don’t want to give someone your phone try that abroad you may not have your phone for long

      What about if you in another country

      You can tap the mic button and have them speak into the phone too ​@@willieraysor4779

    The Latin American Spanish speaker (Venezuelan maybe?) really gave the AI an incredibly hard time using unnecessary words rather than providing a straight answer. It’s not unusual to find people like that though. Meta did surprisingly well in that situation.

    its very slugish and so slow joke????

Flock Safety sits at the intersection of an increasingly intense debate around the spread of surviellance technology, AI, and who’s using all of that information and to what ends. Founder and CEO Garrett Langley spoke at TechCrunch Disrupt 2026 to defend his stance that Flock is a net positive in the face of concerns about its work monitoring communities, cities, and enabling data sharing across law enforcement agencies.

As a sign of that backlash, as Langley spoke on stage, a protest against Flock was taking place outside of Moscone West in San Francisco.

TechCrunch’s Equity podcast team took over the Builders Stage Tuesday morning to tackle a growing challenge for the AI industry: What happens when AI agents go off-script, and who’s responsible for keeping them in check?

Recent incidents, from Anthropic pulling internal evaluations off the live internet after agents misbehaved to Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella calling for an “emergency brake” on AI models, have brought agent security into focus. The Equity team unpacked whether the problem calls for better engineering, new regulation, or both, and why startups are raising millions to secure AI agents.
