If you’re interested in (roughly order of appearance) content-addressed filesystems, Guix/Nix like package managers, capability-based security, componentized OSes, rust at Google, and plan9-ish resource views, this is really good intro to Google’s Fuchsia.
Plenty to learn (i.e. steal) from here!

There is a huge difference between the economical power of AT&T in the 70s and the power that each bit collected by #Google provides them.
The power provided by money grows linearly with each cent.
The power provided by personal data grows exponentially with each bit.
Google is not just a threat to the US rhetoric about free market and competition like AT&T was.
It's a global threat to the #freedom of everybody and each of us.
I know it's difficult to see the difference if you have been raised in the US, but AT&T was just a monopoly (like Standard Oils before and so on) Google is a weapon pointed to billions of people and to all democracies of the world.
Their lobbying power is simply too strong all over the world. Their propaganda too effective.
#Fuchsia is an attempt to replace Linux in Android with something under their full unchallenged control.
It doesn't matter how good is the code, spreading it further hurts our already broken cyberspace.

As you know, and just like you, I'm happy to talk with everybody, even Google's employees, nazi's or terrorists.
They are people.
They can learn and change.
I used to debate with them often when I had more time, even here on Fediverse.
But I would NOT spread their creations. Too dangerous.
@Shamar well as my profile description hints at, I disagree — much less about Google per se, and more about the benefits of having that stance about anything and anyone.
What would you have said about people considering ideas from Bell Labs in the 70s?
