Google abandons 'do no harm' AI stance, opens door to military weapons

Do no harm (to quarterly earnings)

[redditwanderer@lemmy.world]

Same reason suckerberg went full elon. It's the gold rush of corporate greed.

Not only can they not be trusted to leave money on the table, but they can actively be trusted not to.

Don't be evil
Do the right thing
Do no harm
Line must go up

[stovetop@lemmy.world]

Don't be evil (to the shareholders)

Do the right thing (for our stock value)

Do no harm (to our profit margins)

...

Line must go up (before it comes down) ((wishful thinking))

[griff@lemmings.world]

could Goog-l possibly change their motto to ‘Do no smarm’ then?

[myopinion@lemm.ee]

Doing evil and harm is one of their strengths.

[gedaliyah@lemmy.world]

"Well, you have to let us do a little harm." ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[screen_shatter@lemmy.world]

Do all the harm

[samus12345@lemm.ee]

Oh god, they already blew off your arm!

A computer can never be held accountable, therefore a computer must never make a management decision.

IBM, in 1979.

This is wide open to send a nuke on allies and blame the AI.

Well, Gemini 2.0 is bad. Flash seems to have regressed to be worse than my local 32Bs, and pro fails some prompts 1.5 gets.

Maybe they are trying to compensate?

send a nuke

Hey I've seen that movie.

Do harm others before others harm you

[lolrightythen@lemmy.world]

Make everyone but "us" poor, so they can't afford to resist. Just start with marginalized populations (bc that is who america truly is deep down).

Divide and conquer

Glad I abandoned Google 7 years ago when they made it obvious what they were really all about. I do miss my customized Android phones but it'll be a frozen day in hell before I give them another cent.

[jaybone@lemmy.world]

do a little arm

[imallama@lemmy.world]

Genuine question: do they make money from AOSP being used on third party devices? Obviously they get revenue via the Play store, but you can avoid that by either installing something like graphine or an alternative store (Fdroid, Amazon, etc).

[carbonatedpastasauce@lemmy.world]

My understanding is there's a licensing fee for another company to say they have an 'android' phone.

That part doesn't matter to me. I ran de-Googled custom ROMs on my phones for many years, including cyanogenmod and later Lineage, only to find out they were tracking all of us against our will (and device settings) all along. That was the last straw for me.

[random_character_a@lemmy.world]

Well nobody saw that coming
