  I can not imagine the mental gymnastics of people working for Clothoff

    They have two types of people:

    • Software Engineers and Computer Scientists that don't care who gets hurt as long as they get to work on their interesting problem. I call them the Wernher von Braun club.
    • The ones that are also prospective customers

    The Venn Diagram might be close to a circle.

      Yeah 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

      the Wernher von Braun club

      LMAO. Except even dumber, they’re the von Brauns of the “fake illegal nude” world

      There is a 3rd type: people desperate for work / experience who are simply taking the best paying job they can find. It is actually the most common type of working in the US.

      Can’t believe this is the first time I hear the expression “Wernher von Braun club”, fantastic.

    FWIW, probably not a lot of devs willing to tarnish their reputation (well at least tarnish it THAT much) they pay (unlikely very well), and they probably figure people are going to do it anyway (on their own hardware, or on a competitor) so they might as well make money off of it while they can.

    And they definitely use it themselves.

      Oh god I had not even thought about the last part.

      Their staff is either 100% male, or a disaster waiting to happen. Probably both. I would not feel safe there that’s for sure.

    You’re assuming they need to feel like they’re doing good? Some people don’t give a crap and will trample on anyone for a buck.

      For some people, definitely. But finding an entire startup worth of those people is (IMO) more difficult/unlikely than at least some of those starting there and talking themselves into not feeling guilty (if not for us, someone else would do it; we are not being as terrible as those others would be; it’s a tool, it’s not our fault people are applying it to minors etc.!; …)

  Is this implying that Reddit is some kind of moral bastion?
