Half our work is on bringing GPUs/graphs/AI/etc to Serious Problems like cyber, misinfo, fraud, crime, etc, and a few things I've come to: * If you're unsure, quit * It's fine to distrust the system, and as with most of the population, do something else * If you do work on a Serious Problem, decide what your line in the sand is, and ensure that aligns with the organizations you work for & with * Constantly reevaluate yourself, the people, and the work Extremes like "don't do things if they can ever go wrong" would suggest the only answer is to do nothing. That doesn't work for most things. Likewise, I don't like painting people as unethical just because they have evolved different belief systems or, quite often, a more nuanced & evolved view of something difficult. Thankfully, I find most people in the US, and in many other countries, to try to do the right thing on average. This is even more true of people grinding on Serious Problems. So it often comes down to personal responsibility and awareness for whatever you care about, keeping the alignment with those around you... and leaving when that stops working. The AI & robotics booms have made this stuff even more important. We view it as a chance to do good, and with more accountability & quality than when those with less scruples & ability do so. But agreed, we pick where we work, and ensure new staff agree on where we drew our own lines in the sand.
