If You Liked Big Brother, Meet Google's Big MUM
Posted: 10-25-2022 11:19 PM
Google'no longer has any interest in providing the search service that made it a monopoly, giving a ranked list of diverse results, but wants everyone to speak into their phones and receive a single answer. The consensus.
Pandu Nayak, VP of search at Google, wrote in a recent post, "By using our latest AI model, Multitask Unified Model (MUM), our systems can now understand the notion of consensus, which is when multiple high-quality sources on the web all agree on the same fact."
Google disagrees with many of its users about what "reliable sources" or "high-quality sources" entail. By reducing the number of sources to only those that agree with its agenda, Google is able to deliver fast results while getting rid of different points of view.
Google's YouTube already has a broad set of bans covering everything from questioning global warming, contradicting medical experts, and debating 2020 election results. These are a window into the company's political agendas and how it seeks to enforce political conformity.
The last thing the world needs is another centralized computer system enforcing a consensus. MUM is yet another tool for enforcing a totalitarian conformity on the diversity of the internet. Google doesn't want you to think differently or to think for yourself. What it wants users to do is to shut up and listen to Big MUM.
