Google Observations: A Hoot and a Maybe Bit Frightening If Statements Are Accurate

February 4, 2022

I read an item on Hacker News which “tells” about an issue/observation. The comment points out that certain queries generate links on a search result page which point to questionable content. Interesting, but news? Not in Harrods Creek, the technology centroid of the world.

What is quite fascinating in the short article? The comments. Yep, the comments. There are quite a few gems scattered in the trollite outcrops.

Here are a few examples with the “names” of the entity generating the output. Remember. I am just sharing. These are not my observations, comments, or ideas. In fact, we think the current version of the Google is a heck of a lot better than Version 2.0 which I wrote a monograph about many years ago.

  1. “nobody gets promoted in Google for doing their job well. Only for inventing a new job to do.” – reaperducer
  2. “It was my mistake. I trusted Google.” — Silisili
  3. “I work for Google Search. We are looking into this.” – SullilvanDanny
  4. “My wife recently received, in her inbox, a spoofed email from her own email address on Gmail.” – andrewmcwatters
  5. “There is no end to The Greed.” – JayTaylor
