"That ones work might be re-purposed for nefarious purposes is not an argument against attempting to avoid industries where nefarious use is the purpose of the work." I think there's a centrally misguided notion in this thread that AI for autonomous weapons is somehow more dangerous than AI. I don't see that as the case at all. Successful AI can be instantly weaponized with little to no effort. So to the extent that the parent comment is rejecting AI as an industry (not just autonomous weapons AI), I have to wonder: where can one work to avoid an industry that won't heartily embrace AI as soon as its cost effective?
