alt Hacker NewsWhy is it that this line items comes up EVERY TIME an article comes out in a knee jerk reaction - its so incredibly absolute:
"Any AI researcher who continues to work here is morally compromised."
It feels like a constant campaign and the posters seem so incredibly self righteous and unthoughtful.
Probably because the articles are talking about how the AI will be used in immoral ways, and that the people who know that and continue doing the work must be morally compromised.
I know that there might be $several ways those highly-paid engineers might still rationalize their work. Some of them might have ideological reasons to treat entire classes of people as unworthy of life. Within the model of their ideologies, the most evil things might be perfectly moral.
I wonder what reasons you have to disagree with people's moral stance against using AI as a weapon.
