Google staff urge chief executive to block US military AI use

Over 560 employees sign open letter to Sundar Pichai following the Pentagon’s clash with Anthropic

Well, we’ll see how this goes. Didn’t pan out too well for the last set of employees.

Frage zu #smartphones : Gegeben sei das #Fairphone 6 Gibt es andere Smartphones, die ebenfalls fair und optimalerweise #google frei oder googelarm sind, jedoch eine bessere #Kamera haben?

#Google #AI Overviews are so damned stupid they can't even get a basic fact from an uber-popular new film correct [Project Hail Mary]. Because, duh, Rocky isn't injured by ammonia exposure, "he" BREATHES AMMONIA and is harmed by Earth-atmosphere. Just a movie, but about 1/10 of all Google AI Overview answers are reportedly WRONG -- tens of millions of wrong answers EVERY HOUR.

Der geneigte Google Nutzer hat jetzt im Schnitt in 50% der Fälle IPv6 Konnektivität. Der geneigte Freifunk Hannover Nutzer hat seit mindestens 2012 in 100% der Fälle IPv6 Verbindung. Wir gratulieren Google in dem Sinne recht herzlich :D https://www.google.com/intl/en/ipv6/statistics.html #ipv6 #google #freifunk @freifunkh

Google has announced plans to invest up to $40 billion in Anthropic, the developer of Claude AI. The previous record was $13 billion from Microsoft into OpenAI. Amazon had already given Anthropic $4 billion. Three tech giants are now financially tied to the three leaders of the frontier AI race. Independent players at this level have effectively disappeared. Computing power is controlled by the same cloud providers. Training data flows from platforms owned by the same corporations. Talent is recruited by whoever has the deepest pockets. This is not competition. This is structural monopoly. Anthropic markets itself as a safety-first AI lab with Constitutional AI. The question remains: who writes the constitution? A private company now dependent on Google and Amazon. Corporate oversight of "safe AI" is not neutral academic process. It is the definition of allowable knowledge through the lens of business interests. When you talk to Claude, ChatGPT, or Gemini, your conversations are stored on corporate servers. Official reason: improving models. Default setting: data collection. You can opt out if you find the buried setting. Most users never will. The alternative is not utopian. Open models like Meta LLaMA 4 and Mistral AI can run locally on your own hardware. Ollama and LM Studio provide one-command installation. Local AI means no data collection. No corporate control. No surveillance. Frontier models are more capable. But for most daily tasks, open models are sufficient. The question is not technical. It is structural. And the window for keeping AI as a public good rather than a corporate asset is closing. https://newsgroup.site/google-40-billion-anthropic-ai-monopoly-open-source/ #AI #Monopoly #Google #Anthropic #OpenAI #Microsoft #Amazon #OpenSource #Privacy #LocalAI

Anthropic on nyt maailman arvokkain tekoälyfirma, ainakin sen pohjalta, mitä yhtiön osakkeista maksetaan pörssin ulkopuolisilla kauppapaikoilla Yhtiö keräsi myös jättimäisen, jopa 40 miljardin dollarin sijoituksen Googlelta. Googlen jättisijoitus todennäköisesti estää myös kauan spekuloidun diilin, jossa Apple ostaisi Anthropicin itselleen. https://dawn.fi/uutiset/2026/04/25/anthropic-arvostus-google-sijoitus #anthropic #tekoäly #google #ai #uutiset #talous #teknologia #tekniikka

Ja pierdolę co tu się odbyło... Jedziemy z lubą samochodem, jest odpalona nawigacja w GóglMapach. Gadamy o pierdołach, marzeniach o kupowaniu domu i dziewczyna rzuca, że chciałaby większy ogród. Nagle, out of the blue, aktywuje się głosowy asystent AI i coś tam prosi o sprecyzowanie. My WTF, rzucamy sobie zaskoczone spojrzenia i komentujemy głośno skąd to się wzięło. Asystent odpowiada, że musiał zostać aktywowany przez rozpoznanie słowa kluczowego. Uznał, że chcemy, żeby nas poprowadził do ogrodu. Kazałyśmy mu spierdalać i posłusznie się zamknął, ale najpewniej słuchał dalej, skoro na początku słuchał niewzywany. Jesteśmy cokolwiek wstrząśnięte. Jakby nie dziwota, że AI-asystent jest, ale żeby sam się włączał i nasłuchiwał bez jego włączenia to... Niefajnie. Ku przestrodze. Also, polećcie pliiis jakąś alternatywną nawigację, bo mamy traumę i teraz zdecydowanie chcemy uciec od googlowej. #google #alphabet #inwigilacja #AI

It’s the end of the road for this standout Google TV box brand From a rebranded Onn TV box to Chromecast with Google TV-style dongles, the firm had no shortage of streaming hardware. https://www.androidauthority.com/google-tv-box-brand-bankrupt-3660614/ #Tech #Technology #TechNews #AI #Gadgets #Software #Cybersecurity #Apple #Google #Microsoft #Startup #OpenSource #AndroidAuthority [Android Authority]

@kagihq@mastodon.social I haven't cancelled, but I've got to admit that I came close when I realized that you were sending every search ending in a question mark straight to Google. Now I just avoid using your AI features as the main reason I started subscribing was to get decent search without being surveilled by the likes of Google. I'll admit though, that the first competitor to come along providing even a vaguely similar service without Google / Yandex involved will immediately take my current Kagi subscription. So much of what you do is so promising, and then you undermine it by sharing data with the exact companies we're trying to get away from. Yes it may be more anonymous, but I'm still training Google against my wishes. #Kagi #Google #Alphabet #AI #GenAI #Privacy #Surveillance

Great news, the Moto G Stylus is no longer teeming with bloatware A phone for people who like pens. The 2026 edition of Motorola's stylus phone is plenty appealing. My review unit is a charming lilac color, has a pleasantly textured back panel, and includes a MicroSD slot and what mig… https://www.theverge.com/tech/917497/motorola-moto-g-stylus-2026-review #Tech #Technology #TechNews #AI #Gadgets #Software #Cybersecurity #Apple #Google #Microsoft #Startup #OpenSource #TheVerge [The Verge]

@keepandroidopen@techhub.social at this point I hope affected #developers press charges against #Google for enabling #Impersonation and distributing #Malware under their name. Also @eucomission needs to stock fucking around and force Google to undo this shit or get banned in the #EU for illegal #monopolization efforts!

Google is sleeping with ICE. And they have your data. So, yeah, maybe detach from their services. https://www.eff.org/press/releases/eff-state-ags-investigate-googles-broken-promise-users-targeted-government #Google #ICE #Fascism #Privacy #InfoSec #OpSec

I have been a happy happy @kagihq@mastodon.social searcher for a month now, and it is great. I just discovered they have their own version of maps, and it is awesome. I thought that would be the last thing I depended on #google for, but I don't think so anymore.

Paying without #Google: New consortium in #Europe wants to remove #customROM hurdles Using #banking and payment apps on #Android smartphones with custom ROMs is a problem: A European industry consortium now wants to change that. It is an #opensource alternative to #GooglePlayIntegrity. This proprietary interface decides on Android smartphones with #GooglePlay services whether banking, government, or wallet apps are allowed to run on a smartphone. https://www.heise.de/en/news/Paying-without-Google-New-consortium-wants-to-remove-custom-ROM-hurdles-11204037.html
