But don’t let that distract you; it was designed to kill people (2017)
I don&#x27;t understand this guy at all. Two things confuse me:<p>First, the purpose of a military is to be able to break things and harm people as effectively as possible. Did he think his job would involve making the military less effective?<p>Second, why is it bad to work on software that&#x27;s used to kill people? Killing isn&#x27;t necessarily bad. If this software helped kill Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi or Ayman al-Zawahiri, it would have a hugely positive impact upon the world.<p>To me, the post comes across as a bunch of meandering moral grandstanding. The core thesis is either utterly pedestrian (&quot;Think about the consequences of what you’re building.&quot;) or totally fringe (that helping the US military is immoral).
