Amazing. If you build and sell tools to commit horrible crimes against humanity, that's all cool, it's just good business actually as long as someone else is pushing the button.

Kindergarteners have more robust ethics than this.

What are the horrible crimes against humanity that make Palantir the most evil company in the world and be specific.

[–] Dirac@lemmy.today 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Instead of answering this question, I’ll direct you to some tangential research that may help you answer this question yourself. I’d like you to read a bit on different ethical frameworks (you can just wiki that one), then I’d like you to apply that to some of the openly available policies, contracts and practices of the company. At that point you should have your answer. Thank you in advance for doing your own research 😉

Thanks for letting me know you can't answer the question at the start

[–] Dirac@lemmy.today 1 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Well let me just ask you a question: how much say should an AI have in the decision to kill a human being? What percentage do you think is appropriate?

[–] Fizz@lemmy.nz 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

What makes you think you can measure the % say an AI has in the decision to kill a human? Even if we pretend "it had 100% say" was true it wouldnt matter, it would still be a human that ordered the deployment and be responsible for the decision.

Sure, here is a specific response to your question: This isn't ChatGPT you fuck. And since you proudly do not care, why would I spend any more time on you than to write this comment.

[–] Dirac@lemmy.today 2 points 6 days ago

Congratulations, this was the best comment I’ve read all fucking week. 😂

[–] Fizz@lemmy.nz -1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

So you have no idea and youre just emotionally reacting to headlines and slop articles.

Nice try. Now go troll elsewhere.
