Cool, cool cool cool. Nothing dystopian about that at all.
Why are you doing evil work..? Like... Why develop these tools that will so obviously be used to worsen our lives?
I've been working mostly on the analysis side of things, currently I do this for a consumer goods company.
And yes I do it to make a living. Got hired as an analyst in this field out of MBA and stayed in this. Also being chronically online and familiar with social networks helped.
Gotta eat. Blame the system that creates this incentive not some individual wageslave
Yes, but you can choose how to earn ypur living. It is unlikely they cannot do amy other job.
I think coming out of an MBA, this is one of the less harmful jobs. I'd rather not be in consulting or investment banking or sales or big tech.
Like ICE
I feel like there's a big difference between snatching people off the street and making ad targeting smarter. Yeah they both suck, but orders of magnitude here.
when these types of tools are used to decide whomto snatch I hope that is cold comfort
The word you're looking for is "spying".
Yes of course, but the excuse is the same
I agree but at the same time, in a different thread who's topic specifically is shaming a company for working on the white house, people are foaming from their mouths that someone is working for Trump and downvote anyone who disagrees. The double standard is just mine blowing.
