That's a bit weird to complain about, since Turing worked for the UK defense, and cracked the Enigma, and was a significant factor to the success of D day.
Obviously the transparency part goes out the window when working on government defense money.
We (Europe, NATO and allies) have been undermined by Russia and industries spied on by China for decades now, and it should be considered an honor to be called on to help defend UK against it.
Yeah but he actually, you know, signed up directly to the military. These people signed up to a civilian charity.
They can stay civilian and not receive government money.
But if they have any respect for the name the Institute was called after, they would not hesitate to help defend their country.
It just shows they are by far lesser people than Turing was.
You are a real piece of work.
