Except all those projects are about serving ads. Android is about serving ads on cellphones. Chrome about making browsers better, so consumers will use more Google products, and see more ads. G+ is about harvesting social graph data to serve ads. Self driving cars is so people will check their mail on the way into work, and see more ads.
- munificent 15y agoNone of that nullifies the direct value those products provide. If self driving cars mean I check my mail on the way to work and see more ads, it's still a self-driving car. I don't see the problem in staring at a couple of electronic billboards if I can live in the future (and not have to stare at real billboards whizzing past me, for that matter).
- andylei 15y agoso journalism doesn't serve society because its "about serving ads"?
- baq 15y agoI'd be extremely happy to watch ads instead of waste time getting angry on people. Self-driving car would be a dream come true for many, many people.
