Google launches an AI contest for social good

I’m seeing little negativity, just the realities of dispensing with unwarranted optimism. Shorting of pithing myself, it’s goinf to be hard to ignore what Google is and show it works just because they throw a (for them) small amount of money at something which so far only sounds good. My experience of Google is that they excel at marketing their own supposed best intentions while delivering the worst of them.

It’s not negativity to have been conscious and capable of forming long-term memories for the past decade, sorry. I’m also wondering if you have now or previously had any relationship with Google?

No, I don't and have never had relationship with Google except being a (non-commercial) user of their services. I would have given a disclaimer had I been.

My experience of Google is that they excel at marketing their own supposed best intentions while delivering the worst of them.

>> My personal experience has actually been quite opposite. I think had they been marketing their services properly (and not just to geeks) they'd have been at a much better place than they are today. I think Apple is a world class standard when it comes to marketing.
