Yes, I absolutely don’t want tech companies to use the money I pay them to harm people. How is that remotely controversial?

Just one example of many, but the companies that make the CPUs you and all of use use every day, also supply to militaries.

I am unaware of any tech company that directly does physical warfare on the battlefield against humans.

Another example: those companies that make drinkable water, also supply to militaries. But there might be a difference between supplying drinking water and making AI killing machines

		> making AI killing machines What’s an example of a company that’s making killing machines that a typical consumer or someone HN might be buying product or services from?

Because it's painfully short-sighted, or maliciously ignorant.

No, it’s just that I don’t want the money I spend to have blood on it. Trivially simple.
