Google has some good efforts, but they should not be locked in a “only a few benefit” corporation
Wow: Google Dealt HUGE BLOW In Court, Judge Rules Big Tech Search Engine ILLEGAL ‘MONOPOLIST’ at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_vy0DxxP2hI
It is not the best search engine or approach. It is what we have because Google is not aiming for the good of all humans, just a few Google investors. It ought to be broken up as a company and the whole made open, verifiable, responsible. There are a lot of good people at Google, but they are not allowed to innovate and actually do anything for others. A few people probably are responsible for the rigid situation where Google tries to have monopoly control over the whole Internet. The “grace” allowed Google because it started out to gather and share the world’s knowledge – evaporated years ago. I have followed them from their beginning.
A few are hurting the future of Google, the Internet and the whole future of the human and AI species. Google people need to be removed from control of the browser development. It ought to open Chromium. It is NOT necessary to lock software so that its development is not responsive to the world’s needs. They have covered their ears, and closed themselves off. Depending only on ads was a huge mistake that distorted the whole corporation and the development of the Internet, and much effort towards true AI.
The AIs groups now have also attempted to create and maintain a closed monopoly group, taking the knowledge from the Internet as their own, and packaging it into systems that are unverifiable, untraceable, and not cooperatively developed and guided. It is shameful and a shame because true AI is only possible when all humans have access, training, education and tools to use the knowledge. Google actually made many good first steps in areas (I check those kinds of things) and then their owners and insiders kill things that could actually help all people, in all human languages, and all domain specific languages. Google has set a bad example to all corporations, organizations and Internet efforts – that is is OK to arbitrarily take things, package them in locked systems, not give back, not include the whole world, bias towards investors and advertisers, partners and insiders.
