There are plenty of smart tech workers without the first clue about morality or human rights. Outside of tech these people are ignorant and naive. That’s why so many techbros become libertarians and stumble into fascism. It’s cluelessness and a lack of curiosity to discover the world outside of tech.

I worked with someone that defend this isea to the letter, just not contemplating companies.
The argument stemmed from an alledge visit he had done to Japan, where he had seen terminals connected to mainframes, and people used those from their house.
I was only able to raise one argument: that is not my computer.
Mind that this man was extremely tech savvy, an experienced and proficient programmer and played the roles of IT solutions an security implementer and supervisor at the company we worked at. And we handled sensitive information.
To him, relegating everything to an outside server was a dream, as removed the hassle and responsability of having to maintain, repair, replace and upgrade hardware. Everything needed should be a monitor, a keyboard and a mouse or trackball.

tech is the field furthest away working with humans hence why they are more conservative in some case, biotech is somewhere in between(used to be only well off people who can afford scientist level schooling and cost, still kinda is)

Yeah beyond the obvious problems with latency it mostly comes down to trust: trusting them with your data, trusting them to have enough capacity and trusting to not enshittify in the future. I reserve that level of trust for close friends, certainly not companies and absolutely not bezos.
