faust

We’ve shipped the first three roc.camera devices from /faust 
and more start going out today 🪨 🎉 

Back in Oct 2024 we set a north star: build a camera that captures verifiably real moments for humans in the age of AI

And so here is our raw v1: 80% now, working on the last 20% -- excited to start testing that hypothesis today

We’ve been beta testing with a few folks the past few weeks and ironing out bugs / issues. Big thanks to the folks that have been willing testers (@7858.eth, @nicholas and @austink) 

Interested in providing feedback / testing? DM me

Domestic orders first (in the US) then international orders. Early edition $399 ends Aug 10, as we move into post-tariffs batch 2 pricing for v1. This is happening (!?)

If you've read this (yes, you) -- thank you.

Excited to get you a Roc Camera, and real human moments to you, soon

them: "what the heck is that?!"

me: "a camera that proves its picture is not AI"

them:

prompting @bracky, playing /bracket, reading /greatbooks

but any camera takes real photos in the age of AI

creating and destroying; flying cars, jet engines, roc.camera, july.rocks /faust

It's interesting. Perhaps my brain still can't accept this reality where AI photos are indistinguishable from real photos. So thank you for taking care of this problem in advance, while it may not be as global as it will be in the future

To you it is real @toffix - obviously this is the case. But how do you prove to someone you’ve never met or built trust with that a photo is real on the internet? 

That’s where this comes in - use keys to sign the sensor data of the camera and so that anyone can verify for themselves that the photo only could have been taken by this camera
