Comment on Britain jumps into bed with Palantir in £1.5B defense pact
kalkulat@lemmy.world 3 weeks agoI guess there was nothing evil about GM and Ford supplying Nazis with car parts (Henry Ford got a ‘golden eagle’ award from Adolf!) before WW2. Nothing evil about IBM supplying them with punch cards to keep track of the Jewish either, right?

The evil there is the Nazi’s so Im not going to talk about “most evil” and point to Ford when the Nazi’s are standing right next to them.
We can easily chain together support to call anyone evil but thats stupid and unproductive. I’ll draw the line at the person committing the evil act being evil. Are people who hold raytheon stock evil? Are people who work for the government under Trump evil? Are the people who made food for Nazi’s evil? Where do you draw your line?

Amazing. If you build and sell tools to commit horrible crimes against humanity, that’s all cool, it’s just good business actually as long as someone else is pushing the button.
A kindergardener has more robust ethics than this.

What are the horrible crimes against humanity that make Palantir the most evil company in the world and be specific.

Sure, here’s a specific response to your question: I’m not ChatGPT you lazy fuck. And since you proudly do not care, why would I spend any more time on you than to write this comment.

Instead of answering this question, I’ll direct you to some tangential research that may help you answer this question yourself. I’d like you to read a bit on different ethical frameworks (you can just wiki that one), then I’d like you to apply that to some of the openly available policies, contracts and practices of the company. At that point you should have your answer. Thank you in advance for doing your own research 😉
