Google: ‘I am bored, today lets make ourselves a legitimate target in a war’.

dont trust your cherished family photos with google, lest a bomb falls on their hq and you lose everything.

I mean, the data centers aren’t going to be on prem, they’ll have more than one and distributed across regions.

Don’t trust your cherished family photos with Google lest they use them to train their AI models or provide them as facial rec training data for military purposes now.

i mean, if you are attacking google might as well target their data centers.

But for whom will the AI be turned against? Is this their solution to armed civilians taking back the country from both parties using gorilla warfare? By using AI do they hope to remove the advantage civilians would have in “hit and run” assaults on military targets? Why keep increasing the edge of military capabilities unless you are preparing for a really massive enemy?

It’s the ultimate dream of the filthy rich, to not having to rely on human guards to protect them from the rabble out to kill them sooner or later, because human guards could decide to switch sides.

Humans continue to exist. It’s part of a troubling trend.

swordgeek@lemmy.ca on 11 Feb 2025 01:31 next collapse

What trend? Lying about being noble while trying to destroy everything in their way?

They’ve been doing that for 25 years now. It’s not a trend, it’s a business model.

If you believed any promises from Google in the past 15 years I have some insurance I would like to sell you.

A corporate promise is worth shit.

“We promise not to do the thing until we think we can get away with it or if it just becomes too profitable not to.”

Damn…all this time I thought Google had integrity.
