Do you know what puzzles me most? How can software engineers work on something like this? Don't those paid engineers or involved ones have the balls or dignity to walk away? I'm just wondering how they would feel about this (if they feel anything at all). I mean, if I'd be in such a position and asked to push something like this I'd have walked away on the spot, no matter what you offer me. No one at Google is standing up against this? I really hope that if this ever sees the light of the day, somehow in the end this backfires badly on them.

I'd go even further. If I was asked to run one of these projects I would subvert & sabotage the entire thing while pretending to be 150% on board.

Why not get paid by the devil while fighting his plans?

You don't even have to make it obvious that you are cratering it. There are so many shiny things in tech you could make it look entirely incidental.

Part of me reserves hope that this is what some of the engineers inside of Google are doing right now.

Let's hope that indeed is the case... But as a first reaction I'd expect some friction or resistance to this from within Google. What would be their rationale for exposing their plans on Github and not going silently as (I've recently learned) Apple did?
