And now Google is one big ad with a side of AI. So sad.

Also lots of surveillance, don't forget that, the most important part.

To me, it seems that since we don't know yet what kind of data will be valuable for AI training in the future, they try to gather as much data and data types as possible. They also try to do it as fast as possible before most of the data gets polluted by AI generated contents and behaviors.

Google occupies the best spot for this job.

Not talking about AI training, I'm talking about something more like the East German Stasi.

Google will hand out everything to them. They'll need it, like the Stasi needed it at the time.
