Do you think anyone at Google even feels guilty or responsible about shipping this garbage or will they still receive a big fat bonus for shipping something? I understand that Google is probably under pressure due to all the AI-hype, but surely there must be someone on the inside that could call out this trash for what it is? Has the organization become so fully captured by psychopaths such that common sense is no longer able to prevail?

The hierarchy is too strong. Subordinate Googlers cannot really challenge anyone in their leadership chain. That leaves Siblings to challenge each other, which doesn't really happen either. (VPs either can't check other VPs, or don't give a f** about doing so)
They just take the money at this point, I don't blame the low rang employees too much. Google isn't what it used to be and is not inhabited by the same spirit of the early days, most of those employees are long gone, the culture has changed, etc...
