    I am morally opposed to AI
For the usual reasons, I suppose?

    By hiring Kurzweil, Google showed there were already going down the woo route to GAI and will be embarrassed eventually by it .

Yes yes but a little voice in my head keeps saying, it's Google.

    What is already present here is an antidemocratic selection of what projects human resources are spent on.

Very well put, though being of an anti-democratic disposition by nature I'm not sure what to make of it. But yes -- corporations decide where the resources go now, space, tech, North Dakotan oil, Bangladesh--
