Google just points towards the money like other bacterium and beats its flagella until it gets there. I don't know why or how anyone would EVER think Google is going to do something good for the web or humanity.
i dislike google as much as the next guy, but sometimes it can be good to remember that actual humans work at google. some of them want to improve things for people. some of them even have a conscience.
one immediate "good" that comes to mind, from google, is the project zero team.
And, surprise surprise, the higher ups are generally the ones fucking things up because they also need to see those numbers and lines go up, regardless of actual impact on people’s lives.
So yeah, there surely are good people working for Google, but Google itself is not a person nor is it a “good” company. It is evil, end of. And, unfortunately, when you work for Satan, you don’t get to go around doing charity work.
It's inane and annoying to have to wade through the same, predictable, might-as-well-be-copy-and-paste comments on every post.
What do you have to say about the Prompt API specifically?
it doesnt, if the actions are bad.
but if your blind hatred makes you think that google will not "EVER" produce something of value to the web or humanity, then you are just being obtuse.
i have already provided one example of something good that is directly attributable to google. there are several more examples, i am sure.
The momentum of the mass-entity that is Google simply cannot be overridden by some outliers trying to change direction.
Stuff like Go, Bazel, Ninja, V8, Dart, MLIR, Tensorflow, Chromium, Android, and countless others I can't remember off the top, plus their contributions to Linux, LLVM, Python, and so on... I can't think of any company that has given as much sheer volume of open source code as Google.
