Ok, that's quite a bit of news. Thanks for clarifying, shines a new light on things.

I'm disappointed to see this getting so much traction when showterm.io is clearly the superior product with rewinds, custom speeds, scrolling up and down and linking to a specific point in time, and has been around so much longer. Here is an example of a longer Showterm session: http://showterm.io/a0616ce5e6f411f292e18 taken from http://www.bitfalls.com/2013/08/autofight-php-job-interview-...
It's different in that none of this is actually science fiction, but just science. All the tech is already there. There's just one more step until we reach AI level.

In 1956 it was impossible. Today, all of this is almost here. The path to AI is inevitable, but it branches into many - we should try and find a way to pick the right one before we reach the crossroads.

It's not about centralization, imo. An out of control AI will be able to harvest this data from wherever - Google just has the best starting set and the most robust data stream to make the initial leap, I think. But I agree with moving away from Google as much as possible, though FF is dubious - it's both a mediocre browser and will, as you say, introduce ads.
For evidence, see the WaitButWht post linked in the article. Also, the book Superintelligence. It won't be about following advice, the AI will instantly overpower humanity. You won't have an option.
