Three items removed from Waze's list of prohibited communications support.google.com/waze/answer/...

Pretty weak privacy and terms update notice in the year 2026. Surprised Google is allowing its Waze unit to send out this generic notice without any clarity.

Screenshot saying On August 1, 2026, we’re updating our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy to provide more clarity on how Waze works. By continuing to use Waze, you agree to these updated terms.

Juror #7 also had a couple of smart questions. We wrote about the "moral high ground" for going the nonprofit route but how it ultimately bit OpenAI in the back. www.wired.com/story/musk-v...

Has anyone from @sfgiants.com even tried their stadium food chatbot? It thinks pizza is the only vegetarian option at Oracle Park??

This feels like a rare look at how deceptive patterns are cooked up inside tech companies. Stems from what I wrote about yesterday - www.wired.com/story/antitr...

Wait did we all make extra money last year (because there were more working days in 2024 than the couple of years before) or just Google executives did?

Add Amazon to the list of tech companies cutting back mention of DEI on their annual regulatory filings, which detail goals and risks. No more "we focus on...inclusion and diversity, safety, and engagement to hire and develop the best talent." Just "We strive to be Earth’s best employer."

Alphabet/Google today removed a section on diversity from its annual SEC filing. No more "we are committed to making DEI part of everything we do" Also it broadened language on using contractors and replaced a reference to wanting "productive" employees to wanting ones who "perform at a high level"

At Alphabet, we are committed to making diversity, equity, and inclusion part of everything we do and to growing a

workforce that is representative of the users we serve. More information on Google’s approach to diversity can be

found in our annual diversity reports, available publicly at diversity.google. The contents of our diversity reports are not

incorporated by reference into this Annual Report on Form 10-K or in any other report or document we file with the

SEC.

Guess the Army doesn't fly congresswomen? www.wsj.com/business/air...

Over the years, the number of such flights has grown. The helicopter involved in the crash belonged to the 12th Aviation Battalion out of Fort Belvoir in Virginia, which is responsible for flying generals, cabinet secretaries, congressmen and VIP visitors to Washington at least once a day.

Shareholders: Alphabet:

Shareholders request that Alphabet Inc. (“Alphabet”) issue a public report detailing the potential risks associated with
omitting “viewpoint” and “ideology” from its written equal employment opportunity (EEO) policy. The report should be
available within a reasonable timeframe, prepared at a reasonable expense and omit proprietary information

Our Community Guidelines further help support the responsible and thoughtful discussion that has always been part of our
culture. For example, the Community Guidelines make clear that political topics are best left for outside the workplace —
campaigning for personal political views or making pointed comments about political topics can be divisive in the workplace
and do not promote our company mission.

At WiRED's LiveWIRED event, Fei-Fei Li and Reid Hoffman voiced frustration wit @nytimes.com for talking to >80 people for a story about "How the AI fuse was lit " and not featuring any women. "It's wrong," Li says. Hoffman says, "Irritated by the incompetentence reflected by the article."
