It's almost too easy now to point out problems at megacorps, but I'm thinking that probably Google won't be able to fix their problems and still follow the profit model they've chosen. These are the issues I see, please let us know if there are fixes now: * Keywords missing from results, no way to set verbatim as default outside of Chrome * SEO results aren't filtered out, no easy way to report results as spam without a Google account * Results differ by user, huge consequences for society around the big lie and deep fakes * Google took first order ad market revenue, Facebook took second order, we subsist on third order scraps (the 1% remaining) * Any of us could change the world with $1 million, Google has $1 trillion, so maybe the world was denied a million innovations (see opportunity cost, guns vs butter) * Even at its height, Google search couldn't provide something akin to SQL queries for manually refining results * Alphabet exists in the face of antitrust laws * Google and the other tech companies perpetuate Fizz Buzz interviewing instead of hiring by credentials and experience, feeding elitist dogma * After all these years and countless billions of dollars, still no micropayments, crowdfunding or UBI model, especially for open source/invention/automation * Google knows how we think, Amazon knows what we want, Facebook knows who we have a crush on As long as FAANG companies vacuum up nearly all available capital, I don't see a way out of this mess. I wanted a gift economy by now, instead we got whatever all this is, with less than 10 years now until AI surpasses humans at any task and 20 years until AGI surpasses humans at all tasks. Is this alarmist? Is 5G disrupting weather prediction alarmist? Is 10,000 Starlink satellites disrupting astronomy because they couldn't be bothered to spray on a $20 antireflective coating because they wanted us to see them as an advertisement (see McDonalds sign on the moon) alarmist? Is PFAS in all rainwater alarmist? Don't look up, etc, etc. I miss the old Google so much.
