Google’s Selfish Ledger is an unsettling vision of Silicon Valley social engineering - The Verge

'Of course, the concept is premised on Google having access to a huge amount of user data and decisions. '

'The example given in the video is a bathroom scale because the ledger doesn’t yet know how much its user weighs. '

'Google Maps and the Google Assistant both make suggestions based on information they have about your usual location and habits. '

'There’s nothing to suggest that this is anything more than a thought exercise inside Google, initiated by an influential executive. '

'Update: Nick Foster’s title has been updated to include the Near Future Laboratory and X’s response has been moved. '
