If you believed any promises from Google in the past 15 years I have some insurance I would like to sell you.

A corporate promise is worth shit.

Google: 'I am bored, today lets make ourselves a legitimate target in a war'.

dont trust your cherished family photos with google, lest a bomb falls on their hq and you lose everything.

I mean, the data centers aren't going to be on prem, they'll have more than one and distributed across regions.

Don't trust your cherished family photos with Google lest they use them to train their AI models or provide them as facial rec training data for military purposes now.

[–] umbrella@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 week ago

i mean, if you are attacking google might as well target their data centers.

What trend? Lying about being noble while trying to destroy everything in their way?

They've been doing that for 25 years now. It's not a trend, it's a business model.

But for whom will the AI be turned against? Is this their solution to armed civilians taking back the country from both parties using gorilla warfare? By using AI do they hope to remove the advantage civilians would have in "hit and run" assaults on military targets? Why keep increasing the edge of military capabilities unless you are preparing for a really massive enemy?

It's the ultimate dream of the filthy rich, to not having to rely on human guards to protect them from the rabble out to kill them sooner or later, because human guards could decide to switch sides.

using gorilla warfare

Never heard of it before. Please tell us more!

[–] demonsword@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Humans continue to exist. It's part of a troubling trend.
