You would think the name was a dead give away that they were cartoonishly evil?
I have no simpathy at all for them at all.
A few years ago, I had an acquaintance that was trying to join the CIA. She got several rounds into the interview process but ultimately took a job at Meta (who she was also interviewing with). She got fired in one of the later mass layoffs, but she chose to work there. She knew the kind of company they were and are, and she was like, "They gonna pay me lots of money? Then I'm in!" And look how that worked out.
There is no world in which these companies are doing anything good, and if you think they are, then you're the ignorant rube they want to help bring about technofascism, and they're fine tossing you into their grinder as meat as they please.
I was recently recruited by Meta, had a bad feeling, did some research, and sure enough, it was was a terrible place to work, by all accounts. I already had doubts about Meta and deleted my Facebook account over a decade ago. Needless to stay I withdrew my candicacy.
Like attracts like. I hope all these people selling their souls and their country out for money to companies like Meta and Palantir, who make money hand over first by actively making society less safe and free, get what's coming to them.
I would never work for Meta, TikTok, Palantir, etc no matter how much they paid me.
