Well... I'm sorry if I reach for the reductio at Hitlerum, but any achievements Nazi scientists might have reached in concentration camps are definitely tainted. Similarly, achievements in the field of online consumer analysis in a country where consumer-privacy protections are nonexistent, surely should be considered tainted...?
- amelius 4y agoI suppose the question should be: did the malevolence help in reaching the results?
- p1anecrazy 4y agoWernher von Braun would disagree
- kamray23 4y agoThey are and we use them all the same. Rockets fly almost every week now, jet engines are the most common form of propulsion, tons of medicine forcibly tested on innocent people is on the market, and to pass up any of that technology would be pure idiocy.
- dTal 4y ago>tons of medicine forcibly tested on innocent people is on the market What medicine?
- FpUser 4y agoThat is why the US imported Nazi scientists in bulk to work in their labs. Starting with Wernher von Braun who had become the heart of the US space program. Soviets did the same at the time. If you are so conscious about consuming tainted fruits the only way to escape is to be living on some deserted island catching your own food.

- The_Colonel 4y agoIt's the other way round. It's quite possible that e.g. this model helped to spread Kremlin propaganda in various discussion boards.
- Svoka 4y agoYandex search, which works on top of their AI is straight out propaganda machine for Russian government. Every time you go to yandex.ru, you're greeted with curated happy news about how Ukrainians are killing themselves, and russians are not fascists at all. Their government does. They empower it. Just to be clear, it is their army, and their government doing the deed. They elected, they pay salaries to.
- f6v 4y ago> consumer-privacy protections are nonexistent And you can back this up how?
- pastacacioepepe 4y agoWow. Yes you should have refrained from this. You are comparing Nazi scientists who killed many innocents to some software engineers working on a cool project and releasing it for free to the world. What is your problem?
- f6v 4y agoJust FYI regardless of your stance on any of the recent conflicts. De-humanization is a primary tool in information warfare these days.
