Report: Former Employees Say Google AI Works as Designed. Employment There Is “Like Being in an Authoritarian Country.”

The spectacular but amusing and possibly dangerous failure of Google AI directly resulted from one simple fact: Left-wing if not communist ideologues control the company.

In the latest not-so-shocking report about the Big Tech behemoth, former employees explained to the Free Press that Google’s AI is doing exactly what it was programmed to do. So providing pictures of women popes or black WWII German soldiers is not surprising. The employees also described a work environment that sounds like a never-ending Maoist Struggle Session.

The report confirms what everyone knows. Google’s mission is twofold: to brainwash every kid on the planet and toss ideological mud in the face of every normal human being.

Obsessed With DEI 

Noting that Google’s AI thinks there were Asian knights in England and couldn’t decide whether Adolf Hitler or Elon Musk is more dangerous, the website observed that the “world has been horrified — and amused — by the extreme ideological bent of Gemini, Google’s much-hyped new AI tool.”

“I was not shocked at all,” former Google Ventures partner Shaun Maguire told the website. “When the first Google Gemini photos popped up on my X feed, I thought to myself: Here we go again.… But what happened was not a one-off incident. It was a symptom of a larger cultural phenomenon that has been taking over the company for years.”

Maguire and other employees said that priority No. 1 at Google is diversity, equity, and inclusion “over excellence and good business sense.”

Google openly discriminates against white men because of it, and “engineers even had to list the ‘DEI impact’ for the tiniest of software fixes,” the website continued:

All of [the employees] agreed that the Silicon Valley giant entered the artificial intelligence race with an upper hand but has squandered it by cowing to an activist faction in the company that’s more committed to advancing social justice than making world-class products.

Though Google CEO Sundar Pichai told staffers in a memorandum that the AI’s ridiculous responses were “unacceptable,” and “Google co-founder Sergey Brin publicly said “we haven’t fully understood why it leans left in many cases … that’s not our intention,” former Googlers claim “they know exactly how the technology became so biased.”

Said one former Googler: “The model is just a reflection of the people who trained it.”

And Maguire told the website that Google’s firing of software engineer James Damore for his famous “Google’s Ideological Echo Chamber” memo in which he told some obvious truths about the differences between men and women — “harmful gender stereotypes,” the company called them — “emboldened them to push a more open ideological agenda.” 

Another former Googler, David Kiferbaum, confirmed Maguire’s claim. He told the website that “he began hearing things like ‘We’re really looking for diverse candidates for this role,’ which he took to mean ‘a non-white, a non-hetero’ applicant.”

Maguire’s story about his time at Google’s investment arm demonstrates the danger of prioritizing sex and race over qualifications. When employees threatened to quit if the company didn’t hire two women general partners, the company surrendered. And so the company hired an unqualified woman.

Continued Maguire:

She was never treated on the same level as the other general partners, which I believe was ultimately unfair to her.

Meanwhile, over the next two years, I started to notice the dynamics of our team change. Instead of highly experienced founders and seasoned investors, young people from minority backgrounds were coming in with virtually no investment experience whatsoever. 

The company hired a 25-year-old black woman for the same position that Maguire held even though she “had not yet made a single investment decision in her entire career.”

Google also intimidated employees into expressing ideological agreement: “Multiple ex-staffers told us they were expected to express their progressive bona fides in the workplace wherever possible.”

Maguire explained in a quote posted to the Free Press X feed:

I walked around every day at work policing my own actions and language. Even expressing a positive opinion about one or two of the policies of Trump, who I didn’t even like, would guarantee being ostracized by my colleagues. Back in 2016, I donated to Hillary Clinton’s campaign because I knew it would be public, and knew it would get me points inside Google and insulate me when I inevitably got in trouble for doing something unintentionally wrong.

A senior executive said working at Google was “like being in an authoritarian country where only certain views and people were accepted.”

Google Election Interference

The report at the Free Press is the second brutal hit for Google this week. As The New American reported yesterday, a study from the Media Research Center showed that the company interfered for Democrats in every election going back to 2008. The beneficiaries: former President Barack Hussein Obama, failed candidate Hillary Clinton, President Joe Biden, and Democrat candidates for the U.S. House and Senate.

Democrat data scientist Robert Epstein found that by manipulating search results in 2016, Google flipped at least 2.6 million votes to Clinton. It handed Democrats three seats in Congress in 2018 and stopped the anticipated “red wave” in 2022 that would have given the GOP strong majorities in the House and Senate. Google shifted six million votes to Biden in 2022.

The company’s pro-Biden activities for 2024 have already begun. 

As one top executive confessed in 2020, a top Google priority was stopping the reelection of Donald Trump.

Chances that Google will change: Zero.
