I never said all ad systems are evil, yet you are saying no ad systems are evil. I never said that if someone doesn't care about the purpose of their work, they don't care about social problems. If you're going to turn this into a debate, at least try not tearing down strawmen. The point of my post wasn't to make strong claims about ad systems being universally evil. It's just like, my opinion man, that some are. The point was to state that I do not want to work with people who, knowingly, do their work in an ethical vacuum, focused entirely on the technical problems at hand. |

>Very, very toxic things for society, like human behavior modification (ad) systems
You didn’t say those points about people’s intents, you just said you won’t hire them / won’t work with them.
Sorry for paraphrasing. My argument stands.
Yes you’re allowed to have whatever opinions you want to hold. But here you’re proclaiming it in a public space where it can definitely be construed as judgmental.
Finally you call my arguments as fighting a straw man and yet you construct one yourself: ‘folks who work in an ethical vacuum’. My whole point is that’s probably a very minuscule amount of folks and something you are refining as a true Scotsman from your previous generic statements. My whole response is around how most folks do consider it but file it under fair use expectations and move on - so it is not a fair opinion. That’s all.
