Google is raising an army of 32 million mosquitoes like some kind of Metal Gear Solid villain

MOUNTAIN VIEW, CALIFORNIA - AUGUST 22: A view of Google Headquarters in Mountain View, California, United States on August 22, 2024. In the circle, Mr Mosquito.

These days, it's hard not to view Google as a villain. The monopoly is currently engaged in a mission to dismantle the internet as we know it, scraping information from websites and turning it into frequently inaccurate AI nonsense. It's a mission that will likely kill off most of the websites it's feeding on. But it's not all bad. Google's also raising an army of 32 million mosquitoes that it's hoping to unleash upon America.

I know this sounds more like something an over-the-top videogame antagonist might be planning—like Metal Gear Solid's hornet-loving weirdo, The Pain—but actually Google is doing some good here by attempting to reduce the threat posed by the world's most dangerous animal, as reported by The Guardian.
