Excerpts:
When Google was formed in 1998, it adopted the slogan “Don’t Be Evil.”

Already we should have worried. It’s a bit strange, isn’t it? Let’s say there is a donut shop in town with the slogan “We Won’t Poison You.”

You might wonder: why is this donut shop thinking about poison? Why are they denying something about which no one else is even talking? Did someone higher up suggest poisoning people and then someone else said no, let’s not?

It might even be stranger if the place suddenly took down the slogan. Perhaps that would be the moment when you start worrying about donut poisoning.

Well, Google removed the public-facing slogan in 2015 when the company created the umbrella corporation Alphabet. Sure enough, it must have been about that time that the company decided just to embrace evil.

I keep waiting for the event that would cause a conscious decision by consumers to give this company the Bud Light treatment. But it had not really come along... until today.

Here’s what happened. Google released its version of Artificial Intelligence (AI), which it (uncreatively) called Gemini. As part of that, it featured an image creator. After just one day in release, users discovered something very strange. The AI engine simply would not create an image of white people. That’s right, the woke programming had gone so far as to make it nearly impossible to show a white person at all!

Users began to try tricks. Show a black man: done. Show a black woman: done. Show a white man: cannot do plus here’s a lecture on diversity and inclusion. Show a white woman: cannot do plus here’s a lecture about diversity and inclusion. It was so extreme that it applied to all historical figures too. Show Founding Father of America: a strange assembly of non-whites. Show some popes: women and black men. Show Vikings: various natives of color. It was truly next-level crazy.

Not even sports wholly dominated by white males such as the National Hockey League could generate anything accurate.

Google was so dedicated to inclusion that it excluded all white people from its AI engine.

This is beyond Orwell. This is deliberate mind reconstruction using ham-handed ideological techniques to hate on 70 percent of Americans. This is not about privileging white people over others here; this is simply about acknowledging their very existence! We are talking about some next-level bonkers stuff here.

Well, the scandal landed on the cover of the New York Post. At that point, Google disabled its AI image creator. They said that it apparently had some glitches and would work on it. Yeah right. It was doing exactly what it is supposed to do. It just wasn’t supposed to be so obvious.

Google earned its stripes in China, working with the regime there to quell dissent (IOW, censor content). Surely no one seriously thinks that was removed from the platform. Obviously, there are advantages to stacking the deck when it comes to filtering information.

Oh it goes way deeper than that. somewhere there's an altar... And chanting.... And priests in cowls.
And nasty things are happening there...
