| Hilarious that you think his work is not being used for ads or genai. I can without a shadow of doubt tell you that it is and a lot. Googles footprint was absolutely massive even before genai came along and that was point of pride for many, now they’re suddenly concerned with water or whatever bs… > I think the United States is a force for evil on net Yes I could tell that already |

I actually think “is associating with googlers a moral failing?” is an interesting question, but it’s not one I want to get into with an ai booster. |

| Sorry but if you work for a giant advertisement agency you are part of the evil organisation. You are responsible for what they are doing. If you are born in a country and not directly contributing to the bad things it may be doing, you are blame free. Big difference. I never worked for Google, I never could due to ideological reasons. |

| ▲ | spencerflem an hour ago | parent [-] | | Even if what you’re doing is making open source software that in theory benefits everyone, not just google? FWIW I agree with you. I wouldn’t and couldn’t either but I have friends who do, on stuff like security, and I still haven’t worked out how to feel about it. & re: countries: in some sense I am contributing. my taxes pay their armies | | |
| ▲ | Gud 31 minutes ago | parent [-] | | When you work for Google, you normalize working for organizations that directly contributes to making the world a fucked up place, even if you are just writing some open source(a corporate term, by the way). You are normalizing working for Google. And regarding countries, this is a silly argument. You are forced to pay taxes to the nation you are living in. |
