The art of debate and discussion today is watered down to, “…but but that other thing is evil too!”
Can’t talk about Uyghurs genocide because European settlers killed natives 500 years ago. IBM and Musk can both be bad. Same as time changes things and people.
Stop distracting from Musk’s wrongdoings. What happened 90 years ago was 90 years ago. We can’t change that. What we can do is influence change today. Thanks to IBM for not allowing their money to fuel Musk’s machines.
I’m familiar with those bits of history already, but wasn’t aware of IBM. My dad worked at IBM for 30+ years, so they’ve always been relevant to my family (they have a dogshit corporate culture, not that that’s surprising)
The company that sold automation to Hitler: “This guy is a step too far”

I uhhh think it was just a joke…
I did not know that about IBM’s history… 😬
Probably shouldn’t look up any car companies then…

apparently they were even manufacturing M1 carbines and BARs for the US
I think you’ll find none of the same executives at IBM in 2023 that were alive in the 30s/40s.
