I can’t believe I trusted Google to protect me from AI…
Future headlines right there.
“Don’t be evil” never meant anything except don’t put ads before search results and they clearly abandoned that one a long time ago.
I’ve said it it before: it was a command to the users. “Don’t be evil (because we see everything you do)”.
Their business was to index the entire internet. Now they practically are the internet. Don’t be evil very much meant something beyond ads and imo it meant “don’t fucking become Sauron”
It’s a pretty hard thing to hold back the tsunami of assholes who descend on a company once it starts making above a certain amount of money, who want to use it for evil.
In a move that shocked absolutely nobody
It just brings their BS policy in line with reality. Don’t think for a second that they removed their statement to feel free to use AI for military purposes: they’re already doing that now.
