Interesting take from a Googler.

Big data hype never felt to me like anything more than a hype campaign to help big tech research ML/AI.

Larry even rambled as much: https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2013/05/larry...

It appears not all Googlers got the memo.

Everyone else is in the way of him solving big problems! Not like such work could not be distributed among technologists and researchers around the globe via the internet. Help Google do it!

I am leaning into “Deep Work” going forward; will slowly iterate on my own model creation and collaborate with like minded folks. I’m fucking done with intentionally empowering billionaire minority who convinced an ignorant political gerontocracy that minority is capable of magic.

Anyone prattling on with common tropes of “longtermism”; nation state nutters, religious, technocrats; are appealing to non-existent authority they see a a magical future for us! Give them your money to insure it arrives! They have zero ability to insure such outcomes and a lot of upside to making people believe such today.
