Here's the question class ended on w/ lots of hands up but not enough time to fully discuss. Will the big tech companies ever significantly shift their commitments b/c too many of the best data scientists will object to their ethics/politics/culture & look for jobs elsewhere?
What an interesting question! The biggest issue I see here is that the psychological model shaping Big Tech business models isn't different from the expansion-based (ego-based? bullying-based? nature-hating) framework that's centuries old. Tech didn't invent it, they scaled it.

Therefore—and admittedly this is what I think about all day—no real change is likely to happen until the sensory foundation is changed. The desire to be "ethical" is not enough. The word means different things for different people.

Ethics only seems to work long-term when it's not a theoretical value but a sensory one—and for that to happen, we need to roll back the entire familiar framework of priorities, relationships, valuing abstract thought over experience, etc. Which is not going to happen soon, alas.
