Just got email from Sundar telling us that (paraphrasing) building AI is way more important than worrying about genocide, so everyone should pipe down.
Fuck, and I cannot stress this enough, him and this company.

Wow I just read the email, and the tone is more like “you’re gonna genocide and you’re gonna like it bitch”. The irony of linking to the anti-discrimination and harassment policies is the most “saying the quiet part out loud” reminder that those policies, and all of HR, only exist to protect the company, not the workers.
Google went from “don’t be evil” to “help commit genocide or you’re fired”.
