"While Google still has a few legacy contracts with oil and gas firms, we welcome this indication from Google that it will no longer build custom solutions for upstream oil and gas extraction," said Elizabeth Jardim, senior corporate campaigner for Greenpeace USA, according to reports.
Amazon has pledged to be carbon neutral by 2040, while Microsoft has pledged to be carbon negative by 2030. "We agree that the world confronts an urgent carbon problem and we all must do more and move faster to reach a net zero-carbon future," Microsoft wrote in the post. Meanwhile, Amazon has contracts largely in the mid and downstream phases of oil production, the report said, adding that Amazon focuses on pipelines, shipping, and storage for oil and gas companies.
It’s nice when a company is hamstrung by it’s own vaginas.
But they are ok build tools so the CCP to slave millions
Fucks
That’s dumb.
🤣 big bad oil
Oil and gas companies should demand return of all plastics or anything derived from oil until Google honors contracts. What a bunch of morons. Maybe those morons at Google should look up how oil and gas are at the root of every single thing that Americans do, consume or use.
So I guess that opens the door for China?
Sure they will 😒
Yeah, raising the standard of living for the world is way over rated.
Google and Microsoft need to be takin down they are China spies and setting up America for China to take over they have become a serious threat to our country and to the American people time to deal with these commie bastards.
A lot of competitors will be thankful.
Now is the time to start fazing out fossil fuels and begin alternatives....the less oil we consume the better we all will be. ( Especially Mother Earth )
Oil and gas firms should stop supplying Google and their employees energy.
Artificial Intelligence solutions (To the entent that they are more than marketing tools put together by ‘Scotty from Marketing’) are not the exclusive preserve of our supposed overlords at Google and Facebook nor do they only work for the politically correct meme du jour.
reduce costs & wastes Why is this bad?
big oil government greed to stay super rich is y gas pump prices go up every Holiday because they want there pockets deep an fat so they can take 4 weeks Vacations every month greedy ass holes
Это неожиданно
This is not logical! It is a shame that “Big Oil” is demonized as the dirty fossil fuel. Every industry can do better. But remember, most of the engineers in Fossil /Energy, took some of the same classes as AI and computer science engineers.
Will they use Yahoo instead?
Hey Google stop making this dumb decisions, join tesla and make world great again!
I am little more concerned that they are making them for the military. It didn't work out to good for us in the movies
Microsoft will jump and make the tools.
Send more of your employees home
This is a good thing because it will help smaller businesses get into the field and grow since Google is a monopoly and needs to be busted up
Lame especially in times like these. Way to go goog, you’re so brave...ugh
they wld fit in in Red China. dirty and anti american
I can see a world some 25 years from now when everybody is driving electric cars. Even now, glacier melts are causing Miami and New Orleans to prepare for rising sea levels by reinforcing land mass. So it seems reasonable that our carbon footprint needs to be drastically reduced.
Google and amazon need to focus more before entering into a new market like apple does.
Круто!
.... A.I. out of job, too?
Only a week late to the party
The pledge is to stop making tools. If you don’t know, the tools they’ve built are as good as they’ll get. So this article is just a nice headline.
Google will be more than willing to do it for China and already is. They will lose out and be left behind as there exist many other AI companies that beat google by a mile on this
They won't make them, it will just offer the platform and the APIs.
That's bad business. Oil and Gas aren't evil - failure to invest in renewable infrastructure or provide incentives to switch to renewable/clean energy is. Oil and Gas will just find a different partner to assist.
Google for my bunghole.
Microsoft BillGates melindagates gatesfoundation amazon JeffBezos - your turn
WHAT!!! But my Tendiesssss nooooo
I’m sure Baidu will promptly do the same 🤣 Would Google do this if the advertising company were split off from AI? Time for each alphabet to go its own way.
This is how DemNuts destroy themselves...One action at a time... Their leaders clearly brainwashed.... Hey...Amazon & Apple can always buy them at the end...or whatever left of them that is...
Oil and gas r not enemies if well used. Well used thru the complete process is good. So AI can make effective efficient things. Google people running the show r trying to b good but they r not
Oil and water. Pack it up
because we have already done it ourselves. everything is open source.
Just wish I could delete them off my phone
Good, now stand by your values and stop taking ad money from companies that use O&G products and stop using O&G products in your everyday life and stop programming on computers that were made with O&G products... Oh Oh, Google does exist anymore. Hypocrites O&G
But still making AI for CIA and Chinese surveillance systems and still using AI for syping on Google photos app
Too much money to make helping the CCP. It's a resource constraint issue....
ThinkTankCharts boycott slavery, control and humans substitution technology tech ArtificialIntelligence Software
ThinkTankCharts good we don't want them
And some day soon AMERICANS WILL PREFER DUCKDUCKGO OVER CONTROL FREAKS AT GOOGLE !!!
But continue making AI tool for Chinese survelliance? Where is the stance for that?
We need to figure out what we can do to put google out of business
Real talk. Whoever the old dude is on the right at 6:15a? He's drunk. Why is a dude on your channel drunk?
... leading to inefficient drilling and 100 dead endangered ducks.
Well I guess the chinese can be hired now
And so the green revolution has begun to take root
But that guy still has to make those cakes.
Good for them. Nobody will step in to replace them.........oh wait.
