I feel like I'm the only CS major to have taken a CS focused ethics class

Would be nice if all engineers had to take ethics

[–] GoMati@lemmy.world 0 points 1 month ago

Problem is: non-ethical projects tend to pay more or take advantage of the situation. I know what I mean: when one of my projects fell apart recently I was approached by a "Battlefield Management App" which I could develop, of course for "the good guys"™.

I chose unemployment because that's not the world I want to develop, but I can totally imagine that in a more dire circumstances (I'm in debt with family to take care of or it's war and I'm running out of money fast) my choice could've been different.

Still, ethics would be good, even if it wouldn't magically save the world 💪🏻
