Google's bias is now noticeable to the normies. (Dr. Juric is at the University of Washington, for reference.) Best quote of the tweet:
for anyone with a shred of awareness of human history it should be clear how unbelievably irresponsible it is to build a system that aims to become an authoritative compendium of human knowledge (remember Google's mission statement?), but which actually prioritizes ideology over facts. History is littered with many who have tried this sort of moral flexibility "for the greater good"; rather than helping, they typically resulted in decades of setbacks (and tens of millions of victims).
It looks like the good Doctor may have had a bit too much to think...
Small white pill.
Large entities generally die well before anyone notices they've entered a death spiral. They die overnight and only in retrospect does the spiral become evident.
Google is a company, and like all companies needs to make a profit. It's profitable because it's information is good enough to sell to advertisers. If 100% information quality is omnipotence, and to be "good enough" for advertisers you only need 60%, well you'd reasonably expect that 61% is where they'd be because the returns drop off after that point.
Like all companies they operate on a razor edge and if a few people from a similar demographic de google their lives, all of a sudden that demographic becomes opaque to markets as google's ads suddenly no longer make financial sense. Now it starts to snowball as those pieces of information were used to base other decisions on, which are now based on faulty assumptions, ergo worthless. People will continue of course but when google dies, it will do so seemingly overnight. There's no better metaphor for google than the straw that broke the camels back. Because their "product" is such finely granulated user data, small disturbances to this end product have big outcomes. Than all of a sudden google see's the numbers going the wrong way, and start cutting back on all the shit google's famous for. (this is already happening btw)
