I read the article and shame the BBC went for the small sound-bite click-bait title. Most of the article is about other aspects, from AI, Quantum computing, corporation TAX and the title per-say does not do the article justice.
With that in mind, it seems most comments appear along the lines of a response to the title and not the content and is just going to clog Dang up with work.
I personally found the aspect and questioning about corporation TAX more insightful and perhaps would of been a better sound-bite of a title.
- tweetle_beetle 5y agoAmol Rajan thrives on being contrary and questioning designed to provoke. You could see from his other questions that they were purely designed to create headlines in a similar way: > When I invited Pichai to commit there and then to Google pulling out of all tax havens immediately, he didn't take up the offer. > In a very revealing quick-fire round of questions, we discover he doesn't eat meat, drives a Tesla, reveres Alan Turing, wishes he'd met Stephen Hawking, and is jealous of Jeff Bezos's space mission. The headline really is irrelevant to the majority of the interview, but I really wouldn't be surprised if he personally signed off that headline to run with from the interview (the same was used on the television news). He's a former newspaper editor after all. This form of journalism is what I thought was starting to be considered old fashioned. I don't understand how he became the BBC's Media Editor and host of the most prestigious morning radio programme on the BBC, apart from having loads of connections and history in the publishing industry.
