Current Sr. Google Engineer Goes Public On Camera: Tech is “Dangerous,” “Taking Sides”
Project Veritas ^ | 07/24/19

Posted on 07/24/2019 6:29:39 AM PDT by Enlightened1

 Insider: “It’s time to decide, do we run the technology, or does the technology run us?”
 “I really don’t buy the idea that big tech is politically neutral.”
 “Are we going to just let the biggest tech companies decide who wins every election from now on?”
 “I look at search and I look at Google News and I see what it’s doing and I see Google executives go to Congress and say that it’s not manipulated. It’s not political. And I’m just so sure that’s not true.”
 “I have a PhD, I have five years’ experience at Google and I just know how algorithms are. They don’t write themselves. We write them to do what we want them to do.”

Project Veritas has published an on-the-record interview with an insider who works at Google named Greg Coppola. This video interview follows a series of insider Google reports, including internal Google documents, recently published by Project Veritas which exposed political bias“algorithmic unfairness,” and the use of “blacklists” at YouTube.

Coppola is a senior software engineer at Google who works on artificial intelligence and the Google Assistant:

COPPOLA: I’ve been coding since I was ten [years old.] I have a PhD, I have five years’ experience at Google and I just know how algorithms are. They don’t write themselves. We write them to do what want them to do.”

(Other brave individuals who feel compelled to expose wrongdoing they witness can contact Project Veritas by sending an encrypted email to VeritasTips@protonmail.com.)

“that can be dangerous…”

The insider spoke with Project Veritas because he wants people to be aware of his concerns about technology companies’ ability to influence politics:

Engineer Dude, we’ve known this for quite some time................

Apparently, the higher one’s education the longer it takes to figure it out. :)

Not while you're using the TOR browser, you're not.

All you need to do is watch “Black Mirror” seasons 1-5 on Netflix to see the potential dangers of technology.
It is a future science fiction series depicting the ramifications of technologies impact upon our society. Sometimes good and sometimes bad, really bad.

Some of the episodes are quite prophetic.

Machine learning algorithms don't kill people, people kill people.

Just don't equip untested prototypes with immense strength, speed or advanced weaponry, as Hollywood is prone to do.
"Eve of Destruction" comes to mind.

Yep. All it takes is a little common sense. They think we are just a bunch of sheeple that swallow everything they tell us whole.

“I’m becoming a ghost.”

That’s what you think. Ask yourself the question: Who provides the infrastructure and financial support to operate a VPN?

“...the truth percolates to the surface...”

I agree with you. There is no way to suppress the truth completely or indefinitely. It would take endless amounts of energy and resources, something that the evil left does not have. The basic truth is that Reality Is.

Concerning the typical response saying “I don’t use facebook”, or google etc, that’s irrelevant. The plan to manipulate the minds of millions of voters will proceed with or without you. The marxist social media overlords are concerned with numbers, and they have the numbers.

Don’t forget, it was Barack Obama who used to summon all these tech CEOs to the White House, and then magically, right after that, their organized censorship campaign began to take shape.

I hope he has funds saved up and if he is married a woman (I’m assuming if he’s married that he’s married to a woman) who is faithful and strong enough to stand with him.

Wonder how strong a Non-disclosure statement with that company is in the court of law.

Amazing how they avoid the laws when they want and run to the nearest one who will help them. Augh.

Idiotic for O”Keefe to release this on the day of Mulehead’s testimony

Your 100% right. Those people could care less about any one person’s personal data. That makes no difference to them at all. ‘Freeing’ yourself from them is irrelevant. What they are doing is being done at the mass statistical level by with tens of millions of people’s data.

“Just don’t equip untested prototypes with immense strength, speed or advanced weaponry, as Hollywood is prone to do.”

I use to swear up and down that this could never happen. I thought that because I work in the defense industry and we just don’t do that sort of stupid crap in this industry. We think ahead, design in safeguards and perform detailed failure mode analysis. In short what Hollywood always portrayed as happening is very unlikely to happen on a defense contract.

...But now I see what the silicon valley types are doing with robotics and automation. Yeah, those idealistic morons are going to slap together a self replicating deathbot and be dead before they realize their mistake.

Anyone with a lick of sense knows this to be true.

Some of the platforms are alleged to have “hit lists” and willing to pay a bonus to their staff if they can find offensive content from users that will allow them to suspend, de-platform, or demonetize users on their “hit list”.

You are probably already wise to this, but I would use the TOR in a Virtual Machine... Doesn’t hurt to isolate it away from your main machine.
