> Are they working on building tech that is being used for weapons or mass surveilance?

Weird how that seems to apply to the other tech companies, but for OpenAI it's just "Anybody who stays at openai"

Someone at Google working on Gemini CLI is clear morally, but someone at OpenAI working on Codex is acting immoral? Seems like a clear double standard.

No i’d actually say those are both deeply morally questionable jobs. Not just because of the weapons and mass surveillance angles either.

Is one worse than the other? Not clearly. They are both helping build tools that are causing environmental and economic destruction, and they’re both building things likely to be used for violence and control. Idk if gemini has been tapped by any defense departments, but that would be the only subtle distinction i can see (has it happened yet, how hard will the company resist unrestricted use).

Not sure how you read my comment and came to this whack conclusion.
