If there’s a conflict and I get to choose whether or not the side I’m on has killbots, I’ll definitely choose killbots. Especially if the enemy has them.
This is not about kill bots. This is about defining you as a terrorist threat to the US empire because you are friends with someone who criticised them on the internet. And they will wait to bomb you until you are home, so your family is also murdered along side you.

Of course they would
Can we check and compare with archive.org?
didn’t they remove “do no evil” a long time ago, too?
No.
Um, yes?
Following Google’s corporate restructuring under the conglomerate Alphabet Inc. in October 2015, Alphabet took “Do the right thing” as its motto, also forming the opening of its corporate code of conduct. The original motto was retained in Google’s code of conduct, now a subsidiary of Alphabet. Between April 21st and May 4th of 2018, the motto was removed from the code of conduct’s preface and retained in its last sentence.
Between 21 April and 4 May 2018, Google removed the motto from the preface, leaving a mention in the final line: “And remember… don’t be evil, and if you see something that you think isn’t right – speak up!”
They kept it within their internal code of conduct, but it’s been quite a while since that was their public motto.
So… they didn’t remove it, they moved it.
But that’s really neither here nor there, as it’s just words. I’ve never known a company to care much about words over profit.
To be fair, breadsmasher didn’t ask if it’s the public motto, they asked if they removed it. And they didn’t remove it, as it’s still in the public code of conduct.

Don’tbe evil”RIP
Killed by Google [AI]For some reason I’m just seeing a headline with no hyperlink. Here’s the link if anyone else has the same issue

Yea, it’s just the title and no link. To the top with you for the source!
Does Google not know what a “pledge” is?
I pledge, to do the thing, that makes the red line go up. Profits go BRRRRRRR. Human lives go…away when we kill them all. But profits go BRRRRRR!!!
Give it a little while, all that’ll be left is LLM “AI agents” manipulating stock markets and DMing eachother “Line go UP! BRRRRRRRRRRRRR!”
Until lack of maintenance makes all the power go out.
Don’t be evilDon’tbe evil.Don’t beevil.Don’t, be evil.
B-b-but the corporations promised!
They’re trying to fix that Q4 earnings report already…
And looking to get some of that sweet AI money President Musk and VP Trump are giving out to I’m sure.
The Google Graveyard will be littered with the bodies of people now. Fuck them, move to something better for the world.

The canary has died.
The canary died back when they removed “don’t be evil”. I think the canary was just resurrected as a Horizon Zero Dawn mech canary.
