@whitequark@mastodon.social a lot of people on hacker news / reddit didn't get that I wasn't just some hyper pascifics when I criticised anduril/helsing. I'm at least half just disgusted by the idea of doing |venture capital but what if state sponsored violence". Enshitiffication when you're dealing with peoples lives is an absolutely frightening idea. Not like the legacy defense primes are great at all, but the idea of putting sillicon valley people in charge of life and death decisions is very fucked up. Also Palmer Lucky was kicked out of facebook, people tend to forget that. Anduril engineers aren't generally the best of the bunch, there is a reason they had to compromise on morality to get a high pay after all...
