The same can be said about Google, no?
- eru 11y agoWe also make self-driving cars, to keep our conscious clean.
- eevilspock 11y agoIt's nice to know that some Google employees are resistant to cognitive dissonance. I remember reading somewhere that there is a (underground?) group within Google dissatisfied with the dominance of advertising at the company, both in business and product decisions.
- eru 11y agoAdvertising is a brilliant business to be in for Google, and the main cash cow. Nothing wrong with success. The ads are paying my salary indirectly. (If all ads were like Google ads, I wouldn't have bothered installing an ad-blocker in the first place.) > I remember reading somewhere that there is a (underground?) group within Google dissatisfied with the dominance of advertising at the company, both in business and product decisions. We have very vocal employees. You can find people complaining about everything. (Including the lack of M&Ms in some micro kitchens.) I am sure there are also people dissatisfied with ads. If you want to hear me complain, ask me about the choice of programming languages we are using. Or about open plan offices. Still the best run company I've worked for.
- krapp 11y agoAs if the self-driving cars won't be used for data-mining and analytics as well. I fully expect that every time I get into one it will be analyzing my eye and iris movement to derive my subconscious emotional responses to the businesses the car drives past or some similar creepy shit.
- deanCommie 11y agoAbsolutely, like at any company that has to differentiate between a "customer" and a "user" for the core moneymaking part of the business.
