Tech-washing / Google quietly building Trump's AI surveillance wall
Despite previous assurances from #Google Cloud CEO Thomas Kurian in 2020 that Google was "not working on any projects associated with immigration enforcement at the southern border," contract documents show Google is now central to a #CBP project upgrading video surveillance towers in #Arizona.

Also I feel a lot of the sci fi vibes is just #techwashing. Making it feel like these companies are on the verge of some breakthrough and/or working to better mankind, so we don't all come at them with the monopoly smashing hammer, like back in the day.
un giorno qualcuno dovrà ragionare seriamente sull'ipocrisia del modello di sviluppo dell'Emilia Romagna. Chiamiamo #valley questi tentativi disperati di difendere industrie tradizionali come i motori a combustione interna, gli imballaggi in plastica, il turismo di massa le sigarette, e pure la cucina della nonna. #techwashing 4.0 ma la verità è che sono modelli di business decotti. e allora cerchiamo la salvezza nel #lusso: evoluzione coerente di una regione rosso-coop
I am looking for medium-sized or larger companies that have actively and openly decided against using the #AI label or the use of #LLMs and explain this to their customers.
Or do really all companies #TechWashing right now?
🤔 so the Qatari's check cleared...
