      “IBM contributed to the holocaust” was a rather abstract bad thing for me until I read this thread & started to understand that it was deliberate and profitable and _crucial_ to the Nazi’s machinery of death. More info: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dehomag https://twitter.com/perplamps/status/1038103949956460544 …

      I never post political or controversial stuff... but I wanted to step out of line briefly to offer a lesser-known and very weird historical background to a news story that’s going around about a particular tech company collaborating with police on racial profiling.

      The numbers the Nazis tattooed on prisoners’ wrists were IBM identifcation codes. The IBM computers decided where people were sent. I wonder: is this the first big example of using the fence of “it’s just algorithms” to declaim personal responsibility?

      IBM’s German subsidiary paid $3 million into a fund for holocaust victims, while never admitting any responsibility. Soooo let’s see, apparently IBM figured that each person their systems sent to their death was worth 18 cents. Noted.

      Oh, but lots of those folks were killed in other ways, you say! Not all were scheduled for termination by computer! Ok then, let’s take the narrowest possible number. Let’s consider only people killed in extermination camps, whose rail system was run by computer.

      Let’s not include any deaths at concentration camps such as Bergen-Belsen, Dachau, or Buchenwald, or in prison camps, labor camps, or ghettos. (Even though IBM’s computers & technicians had a huge hand in ‘relocating’ people to those places as well.)

      $1.15 That’s how bad IBM felt about each person their algorithms murdered.

      I’m going to go hug my kids. Remember that the work you do and who you do it for matters. Ask the questions. The real ones. The uncomfortable ones.
