Once you get in bed with the military it's a slippery slope. Isn't google using their computer vision tech to help better target 'enemies' on the battle field?

During a bear market or temporary downturn induced squeeze, these sort of relationships and contracts may not just seem more attractive but financially necessary.

Supplying consumer internet service, also to the military, isn't what I would call "getting in bed with the military".

No need to put it that way as if you don't understand the priorities.

We'll check back in a few years and see if I'm wrong about the trajectory. Btw, I've been right about most tech companies, 2013-2015 leaks made that clear.

The priority of getting publicity?

But priority doesn't really matter when they're selling the same thing they sell to everyone else, and it's a small sliver of their business.

Making a military-spec computer vision system is very different from providing internet to many people including a military.

>The priority of getting publicity? >But priority doesn't really matter

Priority does matter and it should be common sense that connecting an army to the internet is a higher priority than connecting civilians, especially during a conflict/war.

Let's be serious, anyone reading this thread will understand the point that you seem to be trying to avoid.
