Or they could just quit...

They could, but they're trying to make a difference for the common good, rather than just themselves. See how that works?

I swear, I only joined the Galactic Empire to try and make it better. See it worked, they totally heard me out before the slaughter.

Well I mean I joined when it was still the Republic but at this point my retirement package is just a couple years from being maxed out!

I think choosing to accept an offer to work for Google in the last decade is worthy of a conversation of its own but this is far better than quitting and being replaced by someone with no ethics is it not?

Is that the line of thinking that Manhattan Project scientists had, or am mistaken? I can't speak for others, but I'd carry a lot of guilt for aiding in such things. It's unethical to help with unethical things, and Google will do what it wants; it can replace them if they don't follow its will.

What ethical standards? Google removed those from their code of conduct years ago.

Yeah, it used to say "don't be evil", then they changed that to "do the right thing", now it just business as usual.

How does military use go against Google's ethical standards of "be evil"?

[–] Zacryon@feddit.org 0 points 4 months ago

"Google" and "ehtical standards". Good old joke.

is about holding Google to its own ethical standards"

So a free pass?

At first I thought their AIs themselves wanted to unionize, and thought that would unironically be great.
