I don't know why, but my reaction today upon reading some of the quotes was along the lines of, jeez who ARE all these sad, scheming paranoiacs? Obviously Google hired them to be just that, but it's a far fuckin cry from "innovation" of the sort that's always being defended and trumpeted. Clearly innovation is a pretense now, maybe always was? Or maybe finding innovative ways of circumventing the public will still counts as innovation?

- pizza 5y agoI imagine it's the steady state result of getting promoted a lot of times for bringing home truckloads of money for Google
