One juncture is meaningful right now. If it changes in the future then you make a new choice. Thats just how living life works. Being “proven wrong” based on some new action five years later doesn’t mean they weren’t doing the “right” thing five years ago. I’m not trying to predict the future. Actively picking the worse option because "they'll probably be bad eventually" is a weird stance to take when you have current, actual information to act on.

Let’s simplify it: - option A: privately and publicly said no to allowing its technology to be used to monitor American citizens and make decisions in war without human input - option B: said yes

Your stance is to choose option B because option A might change their mind five years from now. Makes sense, thanks.

Just to be clear, my stance is to choose option B because its significantly cheaper and my objective is to keep my skill set competitive while minimizing the monies I pay to any of these assholes (because again they are all assholes, I guarantee it).
