Literally the parent comment:
>Any AI researcher who continues to work here is morally compromised.
>Any AI researcher who continues to work here is morally compromised.
You’re looking for the least defensible, worse interpretation of their comment.
But, “…doing this kind of work with the federal government.” is added context that was not there and is based on your own interpretation.
The language of the parent comment charges that simply working at a company that is engaging in this makes one complicit in an immoral act, and the complicity itself is immoral. I disagree with all of that.
