ultimately if your reaction to someone saying "I think this is bad, I am ethically unhappy about it, I don't want to touch it" is to go "well it's useful so. it's everywhere. nothing to be done" I just kind of think you're an asshole

It's wild to me that even people who otherwise seem fine will reflexively pull this line out. Genuinely bizarre behavior

so many people seem to have this anti-critical gag reflex at the idea that the shiny corporate toy they're sucking on the tailpipe of might be Bad

"I don't want to buy or promote games that have Claude's greasy fingerprints on them" is not a practical statement about the availability of such products in the open marketplace. it's a statement of principle. that you can't tell the difference is alarming

having been vegan for 15 years... this is a difficult position to occupy in society in a meaningful way, in my experience ethics and morality are deeply subjective and i know a lot of people i deeply believe to be "fundamentally good" who diverge with or align differently in our morals. it's hard

subjective, except fun fact: real engineers ARE expected to abide by a formal code of ethics. software "engineers" aren't actually engineers though.

God I wish AIs would just go away. We're SO not set up to deal with the externalities and social damage. But I'm also worried for people I care about who seem set to paint themselves in increasingly isolated corners. The whole thing sucks. :(
