People on these very forums, Kotaku, NeoGAF were all over that stuff and so very much more.  MS was labeled evil for friggin' DRM!

No, no, nonononono.  You are reading this all wrong.  This isn't about Google being evil, it's about them being naive and arrogant.  They are barrelling down a path without considering the fallout.  They said that they formed an ethics board to oversee it's use of A.I. (likely a stipulation of the purchase of DeepMind) this late in the game.  We chuckle about them building a Terminator future without even considering that in that fictional universe nobody was INTENDING that to happen when they were busy building an A.I. and military robots.  

I recommend giving this a read.  I'm not a conspiracy guy, and don't really think one is happening here.  This isn't a situation of malice but one of hubris.  Of course that distinction won't matter once things go bad.


Well, those are all gaming-focused sites, so.... I'll leave you to form your own inferences.

NeoGAF's off topic section (which is about all I can tolerate as of late) is very big and active.  And Kotaku talks about EVERYTHING, often including stories from sisters sites such as io9 and Gizmodo.
