Googles Skandale: Steuern, Umweltschutz und Rassismus
Google ist ein US-amerikanischer Internetkonzern, der vor allem für seine Suchmaschine bekannt ist. Google bietet aber auch viele andere Produkte und Dienstleistungen an, wie zum Beispiel Gmail, Google Maps, YouTube, Google Cloud oder Android. Google ist auch einer der führenden Anbieter von künstlicher Intelligenz (KI) und maschinellem Lernen (ML). Google steht jedoch auch immer wieder in der…

Reflections
Xiao
This week several members agreed that we were not efficient in our meetings and always delayed. The agenda set up was not effective. I realized that I always don't like to push people too much, or I worry that my interventions will make people feel offended such ideas are not appropriate at this time. I should actively promote the efficiency and progress of the meeting and manage the process moderately. At the same time, I felt that it was enough for me to synchronize the meeting information by sending it to the discord group, but in fact not everyone would read it. In addition to sending important content to the group in the future, we still need to talk face to face to ensure the synchronization of information. Also, I'm reflecting on whether the design tools we learned are applicable to all projects. The fact is that different projects must choose different tools, or even that the same tool may be used differently. It's worth thinking about how to use them in our current projects to be more appropriate and effective, not just for the sake of using them.

I love when things are in motion, and so when there was a steep progress in first week of the project, I was so excited and proudly wondering how the team was very proactive in polishing the research and narrowing down the ideas. But there came a lag, which pushed me to an exhausted phase, feeling overwhelmed and also confused. Being an artist, I strongly believe ART has no limits and when we try to enforce a boundary, there comes the confusion. Yes, it is time to be oriented and build back - A new lesson to learn in our never ending learning.

After doing the Crazy 8s exercise, I was so excited and felt incredibly optimistic about the project direction as I felt we had so many unique and interesting ideas. Then came the issue of research and actually justifying our solution. It felt as though there are many well-known issues in tech when it comes to biases, perhaps so well-known that they have been greatly improved upon to the point where it is no longer THAT big of an issue. For example, one of our ideas was to create an “Antigoogle” to highlight biases in the Google images search engine (e.g. only men showing up when you search “CEO”, only white women showing up when you search “beautiful”, only black women showing up when you search “unprofessional hairstyles”, etc.). The issue is, even though these biases still exist to some degree, my research showed that it has been vastly improved upon, especially when you search “beautiful”, “person”, or even “doctor”. Much more diverse than I expected as I thought this was still quite a potent issue. Although I don’t want to undermine the fact that this does, as I said, still exist to some degree, it made me realize that there are much more pressing issues with more CURRENT research to back them up. Therefore, I felt saddened that we had to eliminate an idea I was really passionate about, and I felt that we pretty much had to go back to the drawing board. However, with our newly-approved direction of targeting tech companies rather than individual people, I am excited to see where this takes us and what we are able to conjure up (hopefully very soon).
Michelle
Learned I need to support teammates more in their new roles by voicing my doubts and hesitations more often/when they arise. Ex. Not initially vocalizing why we were coming up with solutions without researching and aligning on target/user stories & avenue of bias opposed to proceeding with trying to touch on all biases and everyone as a target. Moving forward I will speak up more, specifically when I think the team could use some direction.
Monkey
During this week I have realized the importance of not moving forward without the input of everyone on the team. We had to go backward in the process because of this. I also realize that as a product owner I have to be able to say to people when discussions are taking too long and even take a decision about the direction of the project to help things move forward. I have also been reflecting on whether some tools like the User persona are helpful for a project that ultimately wants to produce an art piece. This is the opposite approach that I learned during my education in fine arts and I have seen it more as an obstacle and a limitation for creativity than as a helpful tool.

Hey, pssst, i know this is a lil long, but it's important!
so we all know google been Getting Too Big For Their Fucking Britches for a while now-- personally idc if a company sells my data to give more personalized ads, so that one didnt trip me up. what did trip me up was google manipulating search results to create echo chambers for users, and running large-scale psychological experiments to change users' behaviors without their knowledge or consent (I'm sick so i only found one link, but the company admitted it so there'll be more if u look it up)
so I'm switching! but the two biggest roadblocks to get me out of my google fleshmeld (i use p much all of google's services daily ^u^") were 1. the Research to find good alternatives, and 2. switching over all my email accounts
If ur like me, and you want to switch but are having a hard time carving out time to do the research, i have done it for you!
so, without further ado, here are my recs for google service alternatives!
(I have only included alts that have good privacy protection, clean/friendly interfaces, and the ability to be used on desktop or mobile)
Docs/Sheets/Keep/Drive -> paper by dropbox! (such a nice interface, although I'm still testing this out for myself)
Gmail -> mail.com! (you can pick your own domain name!!!! ie example@/cutey/catlover/accountant/email/clubmember/coolsite.com)
Maps -> OsmAnd (i haven't tried it yet, but it looks like a good one)
Translate -> DeepL
Chrome Browser(desktop) -> Mozilla Firefox
Chrome Browser(mobile) -> duckduckgo (so smooth and clean)
Chrome search(mobile or browser ext) -> swisscows
feel free to add more, if u know them!
and please remember to hold companies accountable for their bullshit. Google is big, but we got alternatives to almost every one of their services, and pulling away is not impossible. It took me 90 minutes to switch over every email account I have.
And join that strike on oct 15!!! <3

Ego Christmas- Day 19
Prompts by @huffletrax
Prompt: Bells
Idk I kind of bullshitted this one. Trigger warnings for robogore
---
“Oh, I didn’t know you could make that sound.” Anti’s rasping purr grated on his auditory receptors, but Blue did not give him the satisfaction of a cringe. Every circuit was on fire, and his vision was beginning to blur as his battery percentage ticked closer and closer to zero. To shutdown. “It sounds like a bell.”
    He touched the tip of his knife to the side of Blue’s face, as if preparing to strip yet another swathe of synthetic skin from his jawline, revealing whirring pistons and rotating gears; hundreds of parts to make up the whole. “Tell me what it means.”
    “L-LoooOO-OOw ba-a-aAAattery,” Blue slurred, still managing to bite out the words as if they were poison. As if he could spit them at Anti and experience the human-like glee at watching his skin burn with acid.
    Anti cackled, and Blue’s processor fritzed. When he came back to himself Anti’s face was close to his. Close enough to kiss.
    “Make that sound again.”
    The knife. Glinting in the dim light. 
    Blue shook his head. Did he like denying Anti his whims? Or could he truly not replicate the noise? Impossible to tell.
    Anti’s grin turned to a snarl, and he plunged his knife into Blue’s shoulder; there was a clunk and a hiss as the joint deactivated and circuits were severed, rendering the limb inoperable. “I’ll have to carve it out of you, then.”

I watched pewdoepie when I was 12
Until I was 14? Literally a couple years the videos were great funny enjoyable, but I saw the transition, and I untimely left because he's an adult and now a married man but continues to act as if he isn't a negative influence. Felix is the most subscribed to channel yet he doesn't even get views why do you think that is. We need an alternative video streaming platform free of corporations somebody get on that

M - (AntiGoogle? Lol, I don't even know what to call the ship) Blue's brothers are obviously worried, while they have generally forgiven Anti there still wary and finding the two asleep together rose suspicion. After Blue wakes up and explains the other three calm down enough to come and charge for the night. In the morning Anti wakes up in the pile of brothers and a smile on his face, and he can't help but to compare it to the cuddle piles that himself and the other septicego's make at home.
A cuddle puddle of Anti, the googles, and bing is so cute???
But yes! Blue manages to make his brothers calm down, and soon Anti is hesitantly pulled into the group!

Confessing the truth (AntiGoogle)
All the egos were sitting around the large table, as Dark checked his watch and sighed heavily. "They are late....DAMNIT WHERE CAN THEY BE?!" He snarled as Wil comforted his angry husband, "They will be here soon Darky you know how those glitches are..." They were talking about Google and Anti, the two glitches were aware they were late but they had a reason....everyone knew that they hated Anti and would never ever forgive him for what he has done. "Google....I can't no.matter how many times ya convince me....they won't forgive me...." The glitch sighed and sat down on the curb, the other glitch sitting beside him. "Can't we at least try Anti? Tell them the truth of us and you have changed." He spoke as Anti shook his head in response, "Dark would forbid us and the other septic egos from seeing each other.....it would be like the end of the world." He whined as tears formed in his eyes and Google gently hugged him close. "Shhh....shhh we won't say a peep until your ready, it will be our own little forbidden love secret between you and me." Google smiled as Anti looked up at him with shimmering eyes as tears still dripped down. "F....For real Google?! I.....I would love that.....very much....Thank you...." He spoke and gave him a tight hug and a kiss on the lips. Google kissed him back and petted his hair, "Anything to keep my boyfriend safe and happy...." He purred as they went to the meeting and kept their relationship a secret the whole time.....They swore not to forget about each other and always stood by each other's side but still stayed away from Dark... (Here's a smol short story I had written out for today, I hope ya like the forbidden love story I made x3 -NightFury Liz)

"Bite me." Anti and maybe Bing or Google?

Prompt: “Bite me.”
    Trapped. Like a human in its skin, Blue found himself trapped within his mechanical frame, unable to control his own limbs or access the rapid flow of data usually available. 
    He slammed his fists against the barrier that confined him to his own mind, but despite his android strength he really only succeeded in bouncing off it, sending crackling green energy rippling out in all directions.
    “Ha ha ha!” Blue spun as Anti appeared behind him, one eye glowing a brilliant neon as he regarded the android’s self-conscious manifest with nothing less than utter triumph. 
    “You’re mine, now,” he crowed, voice ringing around the empty black. “I’ve got complete control of all your systems. They’re at my every whim.”
    Blue sneered at him. “Enjoy it while it lasts. My automatic shutdown will soon engage, and you will be ejected like the malfunction you are.”
    But Anti only laughed. “Take whatever solace you can from that belief, but I’ll be riding you until Dark sticks a hand through your chest.”
    Blue leaned forward, eyes flashing as blue as Anti’s was green. “Bite me,” he snarled.
    But Anti only laughed. Laughed, and disappeared, leaving Blue trapped within his own body.
