Just be careful your patronage doesn't lead to a sunk cost fallacy---a middle manager might just be betting on it

Good, they want you not asking a single question, your paycheck obviously requires it.

Where are you? Are you doing anything at all? Is commenting on Hacker News and taking a paycheck and maybe donating to some politicians all you're willing to do?

Your employer does not think anything they do is 'wrong' and neither should you when your employer is the 'victim' of one of your 'immoral' actions. Strange that they leave morality to the employee like yourself to impose on yourself to make yourself work harder for your employer. "If I bill for 40 hours and only work 10 while saving them millions of dollars, it's actually immoral on my part." You are literally admitting your shame for your own self-described immoral actions against your employer while completely blind or willfully ignorant of their proud immorality.

Hopefully you aren't one of those "well I signed the contract that let me be abused, I have no right to complain about my material conditions" kind of people. Under zero circumstances will your employer ever show you that level of empathy towards you, your coworkers, and your families. Under zero circumstances do they 'earn' your moral compass.

Though if ~~apocalypse~~ war happens and all of our built tech goes away, we are in for a serious survival issue.

A lot closer than you think, too

Just want to say, the "stuff" before is absolutely necessary groundwork to even begin comprehending the implications.

You can determine and justify the reasons why generated assembly is generated because it's made by a deterministic machine. How is an LLM's output deterministic and justifiable? How can one hold anyone to account what spews out by a large language model?
