Google continues to show us why it chose to abandon its old motto of “Don’t Be Evil,” as it becomes more and more enmeshed with the military-industrial complex. Most recently, Google has removed four key points from its AI principles. Specifically, it previously read that the company would not...

      yes what is your point? this is an Hominem for what? are you defending google. Do you think that attacking the character of a messenger make what google is doing, any better?

      It started with gmail IMO. That was an early milestone of the evil empire. They announced mining your emails to build an ad empire. I remember being bewildered that nerds on forums were going nuts over 1GB of storage. What a shit trade off I thought.

    The thing is, they don’t give a rat’s ass about history, morals, integrity or all other silly shit like that. Is the line going up and are their wallets getting fatter? Yes? In that case full speed ahead! Money (and power, since it helps to make even more money) is the only thing corporations are interested in…

      RheinMetall made gun barrels for the nazis, now they make gun barrels for the US and Germany.

      Though at the end of the day, the people behind that aren’t around anymore so it doesn’t really matter

    Try telling or explaining it to “normal” people who prefer their comfort and convenience over privacy and fundamental rights.
