The Engineer in the #Google vs. #Uber ‘Stolen Tech’ Case Really Was Terrible. Modified self driving #car software to travel in unauthorised areas. Caused major accident injuring a Google executive. Serious issues this bloke has.

jalopnik.comThe Engineer in the Google vs. Uber ‘Stolen Tech’ Case Really Was TerribleAnthony Levandowski, the controversial former Google engineer at the center of the major lawsuit between Uber and Waymo over trade secrets last year, is the subject of a new extensive, scathing, head-spinning story featured in this month’s New Yorker. One of the many incredible details is an alleged crash where Levandowski took a self-driving car where it wasn’t meant to go, resulting in a Google exec getting severely injured.

@aussierockman Please, “some of the best people I know work at Google” … we should all just quiet down and let the benevolent privileged white men in Silicon Valley carry on with saving the world.

@aral @aussierockman There are good and bad people everywhere. Even at Microsoft. It's not really about good intentions or individual morality. The problems with the economy are structural and the prejudices are baked into the system.

@bob @aussierockman Indeed. Just because you work at Lockheed Martin doesn’t make you a bad person. Heck, you only make the bombs, it’s not like you drop ’em or anything.

@aral @aussierockman A lot of people especially in larger companies are very much encouraged to compartmentalize their thinking exactly like that. Howard Zinn described how firebombing cities in WW2 was very abstract and businesslike when you're at 30,000ft and can't see much of what's happening below.

@bob @aussierockman And it doesn’t hurt, in the case of Silicon Valley surveillance capitalists, when that encouragement includes six-figure salaries and stock options.
