Solidarity. Kudos to Andreas 💐 Thousands of us at Google organized against the company’s Maven contract nearly 10 years ago, even though principles like this existed. We saw no hope that such principles would survive bottom line pressure—nor were they legally drafted to do so. A publicly traded company like Google has the objective function of maximizing growth and revenue, not leaving money on the table especially in ways that would antagonize the state. Now reflect on the use to which the state can put AI and tech’s global surveillance infrastructure beyond. Those are the stakes. It was clear then and is only cleared now that we need leverage beyond Big Tech or the state to curb this perilous combo. Since neither Big Tech nor government are incentivized to make the safe, reasoned, technically grounded, human rights preserving choices when billions of dollars and geopolitical advantage hang in the balance.
