It is interesting how these companies shift with the political winds

Just like Meta announced some changes around the time of inauguration, I'm sure Google management has noticed the AI announcements, and they don't want to be perceived in a certain way by the current administration

I think the truth is more in the middle (there is tons of disagreement within the company), but they naturally care about how they are perceived by those in power

I think in theory it's a good thing that companies shift with the political winds.

Companies technically have disproportionate power.

It's better that they shift according to the will of the people.

The alternative, that companies act according to their own will, could be much worse.
