John Carmack's arguments against building a custom XR OS at Meta

The problem when working for Meta is that if you do a good job, you've helped make the world worse... so the real heroes are the people wasting money and reducing efficiency

If you're at all competent, go work somewhere else

But isn't that true for every big corp, or even every public company? Even if founders may had some other goals in addition to making money, as the time passes profit becomes the only goal, and usually more profit is being generated while doing bad and malicious things.

Problem is systemic.

Nokia (mostly networking-related things nowadays) touts - or at least used to, haven't kept up to date - itself as one of the most ethical companies around.

So I suppose not really, no.

Additionally companies working on carbon-free energy might also serve as evidence. There are some big ones around.
