#2I imagine that in the 2-3 years this contract run, Google shared most of what they needed to share with the Pentagon in order to catch-up to the company's current AI capabilities.

#3Dystopia was hiding behind official lies, while already being in the works: "The emails also show that Google and its partners worked extensively to develop machine learning algorithms for the Pentagon, with the goal of creating a sophisticated system that could surveil entire cities. ... 'the wisdom and strength of our people will bring about multi-order-of-magnitude improvements in safety and security for the world' ... Google intended to build a 'Google-earth-like' surveillance system ... Google’s artificial intelligence would bring 'an exquisite capability' for 'near-real time analysis'" paired with drone-killing.
[added for the down-haters]
Examples of the lies:
- concerned employees were told that Google’s DoD contract was worth only $9 million
- "Google downplayed its work, saying it had merely provided its open-source TensorFlow software to the Pentagon"
In the name of building real-time, total surveillance in support of automated killing by drones.

The project is ongoing.

#5Congrads google activists you have hurt your employer's business and business prospects and prevented your colleagues from working on really interesting AI applications relegating their life's work to sorting photo albums.
Oh, and none of that will make a difference because a competitor of yours will pick up the slack and be in a position to offer really interesting work to attract and retain researchers.

#8If they give the project a new name, I vote for "Blackbriar".

Google is, after all, a company famously hurting for business and business prospects.
