Slop posts go in c/slop. Don't post low-hanging fruit here.
Lmao. This is too real. Was talking with an older colleague who was doing her phd in physics, and working at honeywell on a project she learned was helping develop targeting for cluster bombs. So she quit that and got into studying sediment transport. Insidious is such an understatement for the military industrial complex.
Do you know what that looks like in practice? Like is it actually subtle or is it actually like the "please engineer something that can shoot a rocket with medical supplies directly at lost hikers who have gone raving mad from isolation and try to hide from it"?
i remember one supposed example was drone delivering pizzas to a bedroom window on a house
Thanks, props to your friends for getting out but boy is that not subtle.
No kidding. “My customer would like to deliver 10 pizza’s simultaneously to every room in the house, from one missile, ahem- I mean drone, launch.”
I'm kind of shocked the meme example of the lost hikers is like, correct.
I can’t recall specifically, but I believe it was more subtle; along the line of doing momentum computations to be input via punch card (maybe more recent than punch cards, but I believe it was in the late 70s/early 80s).
The vast majority of employees at such places are compartmentalized. They may be in a department that's named something like DB3 assembling a doodad with a rough idea of what it does. Maybe it transmits a signal or something. What they don't often realize is that seven other departments in separate locations are also making a doodad and only a small team with clearance are putting all these doodads together to form something a cartoon villan is buying.
Remember, central planning is bad and not something done in the US. We just have a purely natural love for weapons manufacturing.
I mean yeah but also I would not be surprised if a purely free American market made lots of weapons. American capitalists love bombs
They’ve always been a semiconductor company with a side hustle in calculators. The calculators have never been a large share of their revenue.
But yeah, one of the reasons I left working for them was because of their defense contracts, granting projects that work on semiconductor equipment with military applications.
They aren’t making the bombs, but they’re supplying the chips for them.
