In a bit of tech irony Google deleted one of its own blogs as spam. This is a problem indicative of when robots take over every last detail of an operation, such as Google. If it was a human they would have never have marked it for deletion in the first place. Ultimately it was a human error since a person didn’t email the robot to say please don’t delete me. But if Google didn’t have robots running all of their businesses things like that would not have happened. Do the robots do a good job? Not really. There are still a bunch of spam blogs out there. But, for all that Google wants to do no evil, they are now a public company. So it is good for their stock to make robots do all the work, but bad for the people who actually use their products.
