Who said otherwise? Clearly it’s about facilitating specific acts by the government. Why are y’all acting like it was so wildly broad? No one said “working with the government is inherently immoral.”
- cooper_ganglia 6mo agoLiterally the parent comment: >Any AI researcher who continues to work here is morally compromised.
- Forgeties79 6mo ago…doing this kind of work with the federal government. That is clearly what they are saying. You stripped all context from the discussion. You’re looking for the least defensible, worse interpretation of their comment.
- cooper_ganglia 6mo agoNo. Their comment was: “Any AI researcher who continues to work here is morally compromised.” But, “…doing this kind of work with the federal government.” is added context that was not there and is based on your own interpretation. The language of the parent comment charges that simply working at a company that is engaging in this makes one complicit in an immoral act, and the complicity itself is immoral. I disagree with all of that.
- Forgeties79 6mo agoYes. Working at a company explicitly profiting off of doing clearly immoral acts is wrong. It doesn’t mean working for a company contracted with the federal government is always wrong.
