Selling out

The US is not a uniquely bad country TBH. Just another shitty one in a long line.

[jtee@lemmy.world]

Hot take but a world without the USA would probably have a lot more war in it.

Fuck off

Wait... Lockheed martin kills people on Purpose

Sometimes you find maybe a startup that is for-purpose. So, not necessarily nonprofit, but exists to do something with a predominantly positive impact.

We have so few years here on earth that it feels good to do something that at least is not making any problems worse.

I’m sure I still don’t appreciate that historically speaking the world has been quite a dangerous place.

I’m not a fan of dead kids or rich men sending the young to die for them, but I cannot deny my lifestyle significantly benefits from the fact top military spenders align with my ideology. (e.g. I’m better off with a powerful USA than North Korea)

Would be interesting if a new generation of principled Americans were responsible for a change where defense contractors knew to attract modern talent they had to provide assurances against outputs being used for evil. I’m naïve enough to think that might be possible.

Before reading the text I was expecting a Saddam joke. After reading seems even more applicable.

What did Booz Allen do?

[odium@programming.dev]

I got a Raytheon for missile targeting systems. Didn't want it on my conscience and got another offer for slightly less money but way more ethical of a company a week later.

The EU wouldn't be able to get away with the low defense spending. Even with the war in Ukraine, they seemed to realize they're spending too little. Granted, the US does overspend.

[flexibletoast@lemmy.world]

So does Boeing... Boeing is a massive defense contractor as well.

[copd@lemmy.world]

Boing makes the Apache and B52 which have killed a hell of a lot of people. Definitely more than Lockheed Martin aircraft

Literal career assassins? Could this dumb world get THAT cyberpunk?

Lots of refreshingly, considered takes on Lemmy today

[rimjob_rainer@discuss.tchncs.de]

I work in healthcare IT, we develop medical systems which help physicians to help people. It sounds like a good field to work in, but it's still about money in the end, looking for ways to maximise profits, because we live in a capitalist system. As long as profits play the main role, there always is a dark side.

[brlemworld@lemmy.world]

What are you the next CEO of United healthcare? Get some fucking ethics bitch

[periodicallypedantic@lemmy.ca]

After a history of ethically questionable jobs, I thought I had escaped it into something almost benign where we were only wasting the money of other companies.
Recently we started going balls deep into making AI products, and I feel very uncomfortable with it

You think they got TR3B's there? I bet they do
