If you have to go back 80 years to find something to complain about, I'd say it's not worth complaining about.

  "That One Time It Powered a Genocide" is just an older example of how IBM is happy to put profit over principles. They have a long history that includes happily selling to authoritarian regimes¹, knowingly selling technology that doesn't work², commercializing biometric data without consent³, age discrimination, and more. ¹ http://www-cs-students.stanford.edu/~cale/cs201/apartheid.comp.html http://www-cs-students.stanford.edu/~cale/cs201/apartheid.co... ² https://www.healthcaredive.com/news/stat-ibms-watson-gave-unsafe-and-incorrect-cancer-treatment-advice/528666/ https://www.healthcaredive.com/news/stat-ibms-watson-gave-un... ³ https://www.cnet.com/tech/computing/ibm-stirs-controversy-by-sharing-photos-for-ai-facial-recognition/ https://www.cnet.com/tech/computing/ibm-stirs-controversy-by...

    Thank you. I don't have a dog in this fight and if there are recent examples of this kind of crap going on, by all means publicize them. My issue is with people who drag up shit from 100 years ago and they go "see how bad they are?" Go back far enough and everyone's had a skeleton in their closet.

      For most people, that skeleton isn't aiding the holocaust though.
