Imagine if we treated gross incompetence as malice.
Like, “hey Ford, prove your engineers thought putting the gas tank in a crumple zone was a good idea.”
Imagine if we had a corporate death penalty, where a company who violated the law persistently was dissolved and its assets taken over by the government before being sold off to competitors.
The personal experience my family has with Google and their data center development, from behind the curtain.
Google doesn’t give a fuck. Some of the people outside of their executive offices do, but not Google leadership. They have no conscious, no morality, no sense of duty or patronage.
They will not hesitate to lie, break promises, or hide the full truth.
They exist only to capture more wealth in any way that they can.
The phrase was weird to start with. It’s like wearing a shirt that says “don’t be a pedophile”. It’s saying more than the words themselves.
Not really. In one way it is like mapping out rules for future members to adhere to, to keep them from straying from their original missions and philosophies.
I guess they didn’t factor in fuckheads like Sundar Pichai :'(
With AI replacing the games and VFX industries, they’ll be lots more of this stuff going on I imagine.
Holodeck-like game dev will probably eventually be a thing… And I thought I’d be happy about that. But I’m not.
Hopefully the planet and the species will last long enough that we’ll laugh about Data Centers taking up huge buildings… And how toxic everything was back in 2026…
… hopefully we’ll survive long enough to see today like we now see the 1950s (with nuclear techniques) and earlier. But I just don’t think we’re improving the world.
…and Nuclear Power hasn’t really be that great either.
Ai replacing VFX is still ai marketing as far as I’ve seen. The US vfx market is in a slump because of outsourcing, and streaming platforms that don’t need to produce blockbusters to keep people watching and paying. Ai for vfx only works on social media where one succeeds by capturing attention as quickly as possible, and it doesn’t matter if there’s 5 fingers if it drives more engagement.
