"Who AI benefits and who it immiserates often is based on who gets to decide how it’s used. We know how tech is used on the day to day. We should be at the table as well."
Their point is it’s a job title and working for the worst offenders in big tech isn’t entailed in that. You can work in tech by writing surveillance software for Palantir or you can work in tech by being the website admin for UNICEF. Both are tech workers, but only one is part of the problem.
And some steel workers wild tanks, some auto workers are contracted for government vehicles, email providers facilitate global pedophile rings.
It’s weird to make the claim in general because… yeah, every job might have people doing evil things in some section of the industry. Tearing down unions only supports the rich and the evil
So, what are some good things Palantir does that makes it comparable? Isn’t that the implication here? Steel is neither good nor bad, but it can be used to make bad things.
So I would love to hear how Palantir is similar. How is Palantir neither good nor bad?

I was saying that administrators existed in the Nazi regime, and they are not excused simply because they never personally pulled a trigger.
My point was about people working in the tech industry, not sure why you’re bringing up UNICEF

And I was talking about the ones who work for places like Palantir

Where was I “tearing down unions”?
Steel is an amoral building material
