> mitigate the risk of public meltdowns like Tay [0], which now serve as PR case studies Isn’t this current affair a public meltdown? At this point, anyone who doesn’t think that Netflix and Google aren’t involved in a Nazi-level propaganda is either misinformed or part of the plan to erase White people from History. All of the kids know. There’s been countless memes about Google rewriting history with falsehoods, and Bing branding itself around giving the straight, dark answer. Everyone’s sharing screenshots of Google’s absolutely blank homepage on November 19th. Everyone’s sharing those pics of Google today, whether or not they are true, Google is getting a bad rep escalating by the day. If given the choice between being criticized either way, wouldn’t it better to be on the side of the truth? Google has chosen the alternative path.

Genuinely asking because I have no idea what you're talking about, and I would really like to know. Could you expand more on this? > All of the kids know. Is that just an expression like "lots of people know" or "the leading people know" or do you literally mean younger people in large groups "know"? > Isn’t this current affair a public meltdown? From my perspective it's not. It barely made it to "major" publications, and got flagged and suppressed heavily on HN during all the early news. I also don't know a single non-tech person who even knows about this story. I definitely wouldn't call that a public meltdown.

> Isn’t this current affair a public meltdown? It certainly is, which is why I mention the swing of the pendulum in the other direction (shortly after your quoted sentence) :)
