One time we had a guest lecturer come in who'd done a lot of work for the US Navy and NATO

Somebody asked about the ethics of building weapons for the US and he said "Well, the way I see it there are bad guys out in the world, and we have to protect the innocent people from them." I probably turned 30% communister that day

I had a group project and the engineer in our group said: "Without the slur users the system would be working perfectly!"

Did I mention it was a project for human machine interfaces and we were also graded on user friendlyness?

I genuinely consider studying CS and being entrenched in the culture and ideological framework that comes with it harmful brain development
