Whenever I look for work, I find that I'm qualified for a ton of different jobs and that nearly all of them are sketchy as hell. I can anonymously kill people in drone design! I can find new and creative ways to screw people over in quantitative finance! I can stalk people in large numbers and sell their information to drone designers and financiers in behavioral prediction!
As an example, Brain Corporation (and yes, this is a real company) has jobs I actually want. Models of the visual and motor systems? Fuck yeah! Maybe we can build some useful stuff! Inevitably, though, some line like this shows up in the news page
Brain Corporation receives DARPA funding to design an artificial nervous system for UAVsand I have to wonder whether I misread some fine print and spent 6 years in evil graduate school instead of regular graduate school.
