Google’s AI can be manipulated into “accidentally” deactivating targetted user accounts

Jordan B. Peterson had his gmail account deactivated and I had the opportunity to inspect the bug report as a full-time employee. What I found was that Google had a technical vulnerability that, when exploited, would take any gmail account down. Certain unknown 3rd party actors are aware of this secret vulnerability and exploit it. This is how it worked: Take a target email address, change exactly one letter in that email address, and then create a new account with that changed email address. Malicious actors repeated this process over and over again until a network of spoof accounts for Jordan B. Peterson existed. Then these spoof accounts started generating spam emails. These email-spam blasts caught the attention of an AI system which fixed the problem by deactivating the spam accounts… and then ALSO the original account belonging to Jordan B. Peterson!

Google “open sources” LiveTranscribe – except not really: only gives away android coding examples to connect to Google’s cloud speech products

Live Transcribe is an Android application that provides real-time captioning for people who are deaf or hard of hearing. This repository contains the Android client libraries for communicating with Google’s Cloud Speech API that are used in Live Transcribe.

[…]
The libraries provided are nearly identical to those running in the production application Live Transcribe. They have been extensively field tested and unit tested. However, the tests themselves are not open sourced at this time.

Github: live-transcribe-speech-engine

This is part of the problem with big companies playing Open Source – it’s not giving away anything useful or of any value, it’s just showing you how to connect to a product you will have to pay for. But Google is playing this one up and pretending that it’s releasing something worthwhile. It’s a scam.
