@cwebber But is it that, though?

Or are people still looking at it from a reactionary point of view?

Are people using this technology in ways that it shouldn’t have been intended because it was sold to them by people who wanted to maximize profit by any means necessary.

This is like saying that HTML is the devel because Palantir uses it to code their websites.

It’s like saying the compass is evil because that’s how the slave ships navigated the Atlantic Ocean.

@majorlinux @cwebber But it's not anything like your analogies.

It's getting pissed at the use of textiles made from slave labor, not the compasses navigating slave ships.

It's getting pissed at using frameworks directly integrated with Palantir's ecosystem, not HTML

It's getting pissed at asbestos being put in the walls despite indications it might not be all that safe. Except the asbestos exacerbates fires rather than retarding them.

@kwazekwaze @majorlinux @cwebber I figure that humanity’s probably doomed by this technology and I expect to be first in line.

I am begging y’all to come up with some less hyperbolic analogies and proposals other than abstinence-only.

@marshray @majorlinux @cwebber

You're saying humanity is doomed by this technology and calling an *asbestos* analogy hyperbole?

Begone.

The slave ship and Palantir analogies were not my choices.
