News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

A comment on A second whistleblower working at Google comes forward to warn of search bias.

Not a single comment from anyone who has actually gone through the documents, like they don't reveal important AI security exploits caused by the "good intentions" of Google's morally superior engineers. Why is that?

Is HackerNews supposed to just assume Google is the paragon of moral supremacy? If so, can we get that written in the TOS so people know what to expect?

I've read a few of the documents (by no means all) and I'm just left wondering where the meat is?

There have been other leaks that suggest a rather unpleasant political mono-culture, and some creepiness with the "bring your whole self to work attitude" and I don't doubt that the Google execs would be glad to be rid of Trump, but I don't see a "smoking gun" of obvious conspiracy.
