It’s still an instructive case:
This is textbook negligence. Unjustified refusal to avoid a foreseeable harm.
That pattern of negligence is the AI boom in a nutshell.
I wonder if they are just so careless that they don’t consider any implications of what they were doing, or are they testing waters about how much reaction they receive?
90% chance this was “you need to add AI features or you’re going on a PIP”
Fair point. Alphabet may even have decided it was a cost-effective way to generate publicity for Google Earth, which has been out of the headlines for a decade or more.
Textbook case of “they didn’t stop to think if they should”.
Might have been generating more training data.
