Wuzzums Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 Hey, Google... pretty nice domain name you've got there, shame if someone were to... appropriate it. 4chan launches operation "Google" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A4E Posted October 5, 2016 Share Posted October 5, 2016 It seems like a nice idea on the surface, but having experience with programming, I'd say this project would be in vain, because they can just add a list of exceptions to the AI, so I'd imagine it would not hold much more value than a novelty. I doubt that they would release such an AI that was not chained to google/its creators. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eggmunkee Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 Programming experience here too, but I would ask how does Google censor the word which is its own brand? How do they separate the "bad" googles from the "good" googles? An exception to not censor "google" essentially makes the technique succeed at preventing censorship. If they do censor "googles" as a code word, they must at least in some cases end up censoring their own brand name. I think this is a clever strategy without a simple "exception" fix from how it looks to me. Maybe you could set me straight on what an exception for "google" would do against this campaign. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A4E Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 I thought they were just trying to make google censor its own name, because I did not see any usefulness in hijacking the name to use for some universal catch all thing. Or whatever complicated goal they have. So in that case I spoke in haste, and maybe this is some kind of genius thing that I don't understand. Sorry. They probably have exceptions for 'white', 'conservative' and perhaps even 'family' so that everyone can slander those as much as they want.
