It doesn’t really matter what the people working there want. It matters what the higher ups say, as they control the cash flow and consequently where resources are spent.
And, surprise surprise, the higher ups are generally the ones fucking things up because they also need to see those numbers and lines go up, regardless of actual impact on people’s lives.
So yeah, there surely are good people working for Google, but Google itself is not a person nor is it a “good” company. It is evil, end of. And, unfortunately, when you work for Satan, you don’t get to go around doing charity work.
- anthonyrstevens 5mo agoSo is it reasonable and helpful to see the same comments over and over again any time Google/Microsoft/OpenAI/Meta is mentioned in a comment - "X is bad, money drives all their decisions, they are anti-user, etc. etc." or should we actually expect to see relevant comments discussing the topic at hand? It's inane and annoying to have to wade through the same, predictable, might-as-well-be-copy-and-paste comments on every post. What do you have to say about the Prompt API specifically?
- doublerabbit 5mo agoNothing myself, a great innovation but with wet teagbags google/microsoft/apple et cetera running the show. How is Digital ID going?
- eikenberry 5mo agoThis same point should have been made to the grandparent as well... claiming some good people are working inside the system at a bad company is also a tired trope.
