I don’t know if writing software as an incidental expense to efficiently allocate capital is actually worse than writing software as an incidental expense to conduct mass surveillance to trick old and poor people into clicking ads.

It's not intellectually honest to weigh Google's worst actions (like tricking poor people into clicking on ads, when they would obviously much rather trick rich people to click on ads) without also weighing their contributions to the world, of which the hedge fund has none.
