See you as 100% disposable
  • Google parent company has fired 12,000 employees from several projects.
  • Alphabet Inc, Google’s parent firm, informed the workforce of the mass layoffs in a memo.
  • Sundar Pichai, the CEO of the Google giant, takes “full responsibility” for the job cuts.

See you as 100% disposable: Ex-Google employee after being fired at 3 a.m. Alphabet Inc, Google’s parent firm, has fired off 12,000 employees from several projects. Sundar Pichai, the CEO of the Google giant, informed the workforce of the mass layoffs in a memo.

Mr Moore, in a LinkedIn post, wrote, “So after over 16.5 years at Google, I appear to have been let go via an automated account deactivation at 3 am this morning as one of the lucky 12,000. I don’t have any other information, as I haven’t received any of the other communications the boilerplate “you’ve been let go” website (which I now also can’t access) said I should receive.”

The employee went on to say that his tenure at Google was “largely wonderful,” and he was proud of the job he and his colleagues accomplished.

“This also just drives home that work is not your life, and employers — especially big, faceless ones like Google — see you as 100% disposable. Live life, not work,” the post further read.

  • Twitter reportedly sold data of more than 400 million users on the dark web.

The breach, which occurred in 2021, was reportedly caused by a flaw in Twitter’s system, according to reports in foreign media.

There hasn’t been a confirmation or denial on this topic from Twitter, though.

Describe the dark web.

A portion of the internet known as the “black web” is inaccessible to the general public, and even the intelligence services of powerful nations have trouble getting in.

It is a market where a wide range of unlawful and illegitimate products and services, such as women, sex crime movies, firearms, and drugs, are bought and sold.

How can I stay safe?

It is essential for people and businesses to take precautions to safeguard their data and personal information in the internet age.

This entails creating strong passwords that are only used by you, turning on two-factor authentication, and being cautious when disclosing sensitive information online.

To avoid data breaches and illegal access to their systems, it is crucial for businesses to have robust cybersecurity safeguards in place. Therefore, it is best to be cautious and vigilant when handling personal information and data.

Google has slowed hiring after a recent hiring boom, making it the latest major technology corporation to adopt a more cautious attitude as the possibility of a recession grows.

Sundar Pichai, CEO of Alphabet, the parent company of Google, informed staff in an internal email on Tuesday that the business will be “slowing the pace of hiring for the rest of the year” without providing specifics.

Google and other large technology companies are in a solid position to pick up the slack, albeit at a slower rate, as a result of the unexpected chill in the financial markets.

Gopuff announced on Tuesday that it would lay off around 1,500 employees, or 10% of its workforce, and close 76 warehouses, making it the most recent hot start-up to retrench.

Artificial intelligence

Google often uses its annual developer conference, I/O, to showcase artificial intelligence with a wow factor. The tech giants introduced LaMDA this year.

In 2016, it introduced the Google Home smart speaker with Google Assistant. In 2018, Duplex debuted to answer calls and schedule appointments for businesses. In keeping with that tradition, last month CEO Sundar Pichai introduced LaMDA, Artificial Intelligence “designed to have a conversation on any topic.”

Pichai demonstrated what it’s like to converse with a paper airplane and the celestial body Pluto in an onstage demo. For each query, LaMDA responded with three or four sentences meant to resemble a natural conversation between two people. Over time, Pichai said, LaMDA could be incorporated into Google products including Assistant, Workspace, and most crucially, search.

Pichai said: “We believe LaMDA’s natural conversation capabilities have the potential to make information and computing radically more accessible and easier to use,”
