"Don't be evil" never meant anything except don't put ads before search results and they clearly abandoned that one a long time ago.

It’s a pretty hard thing to hold back the tsunami of assholes who descend on a company once it starts making above a certain amount of money, who want to use it for evil.

I can personally vouch, having seen this when private equity bought out the company I worked at and significantly cut everyone's wages while telling us we needed to massively increase productivity. Unchecked greed at its finest.

Their business was to index the entire internet. Now they practically are the internet. Don't be evil very much meant something beyond ads and imo it meant "don't fucking become Sauron"

Not being evil is for the poor and powerless. Rich people are just better than the rest of us and deserve to be able to shit wherever they want.
I joke, but seriously, no one gets as rich as the leaders of all these big companies without hurting a lot of innocent people in the process. Never forget, there are no virtuous billionaires.

In a move that shocked absolutely nobody

It just brings their BS policy in line with reality. Don't think for a second that they removed their statement to feel free to use AI for military purposes: they're already doing that now.

I can't believe I trusted Google to protect me from AI...

Future headlines right there.
