Facebook is really upping their total evil alignment.

They don’t care if they are hated.

Why is paying people to pretend to be a suicidal teen to a chatbot evil?

What’s even the story here? QA Engineers Perform Job?

On products from their competitors?

well it seems advantageous to be able to say "your honour, we're being unfairly singled out here; at the time of the incident this lawsuit concerns, none of our competitors had resolved this problem either" and have receipts.

(and also know whether the safeguards they're trying to implement/improve towards have been achieved or are theoretical)

Sure but that's not QA Engineers Performing Job

Yes, you’re right. I was just quickly lumping any contractor whose job is to run tests from a test case sheet under the QA umbrella. I guess a more likely title is Product Market Analyst, or something like that. But I was mostly stating that I don’t find this weird at all. I definitely have looked at competitor’s API’s, for example, when designing my own. I would find it weird not to.
