Google removed the pledge not to use AI for weapons or surveillance from its AI principles

They have removed "don't be evil" long ago. I mean, can it get any clearer? Who TF decides to stop not being evil? 🤷‍♂️ Ps: nobody builds better tools than them. 🥴
What the fuck is happening?? All of a sudden it feels like there's this coordinated effort to unmake the world and do some insidious shit with AI. I've seen enough dystopian sci-fi horror to know this shit isn't good.

AI in weapon is already used in wars, but why Google wants to be envolved? Has it forget about reputation and collateral losses?
They already supported the Israeli genocide in Gaza with their tech. Fuck Google and Israel
Steve Jobs knew 15 years ago...... "In a meeting at Apple's Cupertino headquarters last week, Steve Jobs let loose a no-holds-barred rant against Google and their pretence (at least) of do no evil, culminating in his saying that their "don't be evil" motto is "a load of crap."

I'm old enough to remember "Don't be evil"
Google was seed funded by CIA, NSA and DARPA, among others. DARPA is the technology development arm of the Pentagon. Google has been part of the military-industrial complex from day one.
We’re repeating history with AI, just as we blindly accepted invasive terms from tech giants like Google and Facebook years ago—today, we’re handing over personal data to opaque AI empires like ClosedAI (OpenAI) without scrutiny. Privacy isn’t a checkbox: AI’s “magic” is built on our thoughts, habits, and secrets, sold as the real product in this gold rush (see the documentary Terms and Conditions May Apply for a chilling parallel). We need to break the cycle by demanding transparency, or keep feeding the machine. #PrivacyMatters #ClosedAI #TermsAndConditions

At least it’s black on white now. Forever.
This is why I only use YouTube for my music (on [at]Neigsendoig), Linux and gaming on CoculesNation, and my podcast on my music channel. No politics, no nonsense. Old-fashioned and honest.

Humanity, some of us will never learn.😓
Google doesn't have an inch of backbone or morals. Remember Project Dragonfly?

EDIT: I no longer recommend Firefox for android, use Bromite or another privacy-focused FOS browser that gives you control over your own data.
