RE: Will Google Determine The Future of Humanity?

The motto of Boogle is:

Be Evil

I sure hope they do not determine anything of the future.

The idea that what is wrong with the body is missing chemicals is outdated and known to be very wrong. If, what was wrong with the body was missing chemicals, than placebos would never work. But placebos do work. Often better then new drugs being tested.

Thus, the idea of measuring of certain drugs to administer other drugs is provably false, and often damaging. Further, it is trying to affect the symptom of a symptom of the problem. When we start actually dealing with the problem, then these ideas that Verily is calling "the future" will seem really really dumb in hindsight.


Calico is working on some very bad stuff. Kinda like making clones so you can harvest their organs when you need them. They are not any part of the future. And, people who are actually seeing results in anti-ageing are going in a completely different direction.


AI... there currently isn't any real AI research happening on the planet.
Most scientists still believe that consciousness resides in the brain. Everyone who has gotten deep into meditation knows that consciousness isn't in the brain. So, scientists believe that if they build a large enough, complex enough computer, that equals the brain... viola, consciousness. But, this isn't, and won't be the case.

And currently, the state of the art in expert systems, is really really bad. They think they have cars almost able to autopilot, however, these systems freak out in all kinds of situations.

Even with something as a CNC milling machine, the expert system still cannot figure out all the conditions when the machine will try to break itself by running into itself. And this is in a COMPLETELY controlled environment when you know where everything is and how everything is connected and there is no human element. So, expert systems, still a long long way to go.


Further, Boogle has just shot itself in the foot by editing out content that it deems as "inappropriate", or "false news".
