Cryptography is a prime example. Any time any company is the tiniest bit cagey or obfuscates any aspect, I default to assuming that they’re either selling snake oil or have installed NSA back doors. I’ll claim this openly, as a fact, until proven otherwise.
Makes you wonder what misdeeds they’re trying so hard to hide.
Worse if it is related to training future super intelligence to kill people. Killer drones are possible even with today's technology without AGI.
It's a lot of mental work to rally the emotion of revulsion over the evil they might be doing that is kept secret.
I was once fired, ghosted style, for merely being in the same meeting room as a racist corporate ass-clown muting the conference call to make Asian slights and monkey gesticulations. There was no lawsuit or payday because "how would I ever work again?" was the Hobson's choice between let it go and a moral crusade without a way to pay rent.
If instead I were upset that "not enough N are in tech," there isn't a specific incident or person to blame because it'd be a multifaceted situation.
