Not to mention of course the Google employees that post on LW.
I didn't know there were any. My guess is that you have to be pretty high in the hierarchy to actually steer Google into a direction that would suit MIRI (under the assumption that people who agree with MIRI are in the minority).

Greetings from Dublin! You're right that the average employee is unlikely to matter, though.
So I know we've already seen them buying a bunch of ML and robotics companies, but now they're purchasing Shane Legg's AGI startup. This is after they've acquired Boston Dynamics, several smaller robotics and ML firms, and started their own life-extension firm.
Is it just me, or are they trying to make Accelerando or something closely related actually happen? Given that they're buying up real experts and not just "AI is inevitable" prediction geeks (who shall remain politely unnamed out of respect for their real, original expertise in machine learning), has someone had a polite word with them about not killing all humans by sheer accident?
