On: Why I left Google

I think that's definitely how people who work for immoral industries frame their need to work there. In my experience, however, it isn't people working in AI who can't find another job that would allow them to pay rent.

If you're a minimum wage worker with no education and no other prospects working for an arms manufacturer - I forgive all sins.

I don’t know, I’m a AI PhD dropout so deep into the job search struggle that I’ll take any job that comes my way.

I did have serious moral doubts when I was interviewing for some startups tho. The inner conflict is definitely there.

You think that's bad? I'm a self-taught programmer and philosophy major.
