“Computer science isn’t political!”, they said. “I’m just going to develop AI products for startup cash and to draw cute girls”, they said. “You’re over reacting and making everything political”, they said.
We need ethics training in engineering.

I have a counter offer. Instead, we send them to an island with adequate supplies of food, but bereft of anything but themselves.
No Internet, no mobile phones no Twitter or Facebook. No staff.
Take every billionaire from Silicon Valley, and leave them to their own devices.

I'm pretty sure actual engineers get ethical training. The problem is that most people who call themselves "engineers" aren't.
They're code monkeys at best.

I once told a self-professed "stupid person" that he'd better get smart because lawyers, business owners, landlords, etc. are using politics to keep prices high and wages low. I don't know if he ever followed my advice.
