Back in 2015, prior to #gdpr , #twitter was looking to #sellout their #user 's #data to make #money , by selling very accurate #data to #telco https://twitter.com/stevekrenzel/status/.. Luckily some of the #engineers had a #backbone , but it was a close call.
Seems like #ford is really in #financial #trouble https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/ford-l.. From memory, a bunch of their guys in #michigan are #engineers and #programmers - which would be a really poor decision for Ford.
And here we have the #decline of #deepmind with the " #study " of #ai #ethics in the #lgbt #community https://www.deepmind.com/blog/advocating.. What will happen is the #engineers that built this excellent #research #company will be pushed out for #diversification and it will slowly fall apart. It's no wonder why #google have been slowly kicking back out their #ai #ethics people. #facebook will likely soon do the same and #elonmusk is doing the same at #twitter .
Interesting, #google is apparently mostly running on #old #code that none of the existing people know how to #fix or #maintain https://youtube.com/watch?v=7I-r1CaMdNs If this is true, #google is going to die. They no longer have the #engineering #prowess they used to - all the proper #engineers moved elsewhere. It seems they are #victims of their own " #success ".
