jjjalljs@ttrpg.network 1 day agoYeah I think a lot about the guy I knew that took a job at palantir. When asked about working on questionable stuff, he just shrugged. He was always nice to people he knew personally, so far as I can tell, but bigger picture stuff didn’t seem to matter to him

That's the thing, Software Engineers have choices.
Yes, all big companies will do some dubious things.
But then you have big tech that does all those dubious things and is also breaking democratic institutions everywhere with a sledgehammer.
And then you have Palentir, which are literally Hollywood movie villains.
At this point they are light years of their livelihood depending on it. There's no way they don't notice where the bombs are falling, they had plenty of time to look around and have decided they don't care.
