Perhaps on the tiktok Blind?
- megolodan 8mo agoI used to think that most engineers had strong ethics, but It seems thats not the case. I wonder if it is widespread knowledge internally or if just the select few know.
- spacechild1 8mo ago> I used to think that most engineers had strong ethics Civil engineers maybe. Software "engineers" were never known for their strong sense of ethics.
- pickleRick243 8mo agoWhy would you think that engineers have stronger ethics than the population at large? Following this logically, some profession would have to have lower than average ethics or perhaps only the unemployed do? I don't think that one's personal moral compass and one's profession have much correlation at all. Otherwise, moral philosophy professors would be near saints. Moreover the moral philosophers at Harvard would be more ethical than those at Ohio State.
- philipwhiuk 8mo agoYou need remarkably few engineers in the loop to actually pull a thing like this off (if it is/was true).
- rcpt 8mo agoImplement the filter? Yeah that's like one guy. But then all the internal dashboards and experiments have this big obvious miss that everyone sees
- intermerda 8mo agoThe Blind community is one of the most toxic communities out there. It made me sick even before the tech industry had its mask off moment 1+ year ago. Since then they’ve only amped up the racism and hate. I wouldn’t expect to find any serious discussion there.
- rcpt 8mo agoBlind is fine. It's close to the forums of the ancient Internet. If there was some "mask off" moment I don't know what it was, and I've been in this industry for a while. Perhaps you're just projecting out from Elon? It's a popular thing to do nowadays.
- intermerda 8mo agoBlind is the 4chan of tech, so in some way you're right. I guess some kind of people might find that "fine". Not me. Perhaps you're one of those pro-Gestapo people? It's a popular thing nowadays.
