At the point when Google has heard your conversations, knows your demographics, likes and dislikes, and can control your actions and thoughts through search and news feed manipulation you cease to be an autonamous person and become nothing but a neuron for Google.
- itronitron 7y agothat may explain why so many developers insist on doing things the way Google does things
- a_imho 7y agoThat's what google like to think they are capable of, but the 2016 election says otherwise.
- angry_octet 7y agoWhy do you think Google didn't know the outcome?
- Spivak 7y agoIf Google could, or thought they could, predict the outcome of elections better than the current batch of analysts there would be no reason to keep it to themselves.
- angry_octet 7y agoThey would have every reason, not the least of which is a fear of further regulation of their operations.
- a_imho 7y agoThat's not even implied. I said Google/fans seem to way overestimate their influence.
- angry_octet 7y agoLet me quote you: "That's what google like to think they are capable of, but the 2016 election says otherwise." You said exactly that Google thought they were capable of predicting the 2016 election, and they predicted HRC (and by implication that is what they wanted) but the result proved that they were wrong. Are you saying Google and it's fans (who?) think they have influence on elections, but they are wrong because of the 2016 results? And implicitly that they tried to skew the results against the GOP?
- wethebestcoder 7y agoI just want to point out you guys are talking about 2016 Google, not 2020, 2024, etc.
