Do CS programs not include a class on ethics? : cscareerquestions | Codecel thinks other codecels cared about their ethics classes

https://old.reddit.com/r/cscareerquestions/comments/1ih1ki5/do_cs_programs_not_include_a_class_on_ethics/

								

								

!codecels The only thing i learned in ethics class is that I reject the ethics of my peers and countrymen

So I've been in the industry for 7 years now but had a degree in social sciences and later attended a bootcamp before getting my first job.

In light of current events, I'm just puzzled that there are engineers that are so willing to deploy their skills to achieve nefarious ends. We have the ability to impact the world in major ways with our knowledge and expertise, I would assume that CS programs would understand this and require course work on the moral implications of technology. Even in cases where what we are doing is technically legal. We are not mere cowtools for the business of others, this should be kept in mind.

Yea and that's why instead of testing your fancy new AI on fed databases to find freeloaders and wastes of money you're bitching on reddit

I take an annual ethics class, have for probably 15 years. Somehow I still purposely overcharge and under deliver.

One of these days it's gonna click though.

Wtf does a class on ethics hope to achieve? "Oh I was considering a life of crime and debauchery, luckily I took that class on ethics!" It would be called a filler class , a total waste of time and resources

They always are. If anything having to waste all that time has just made me unethical out of spite

Even better, the OP here is clearly implying that an ethics course should dissuade codecels from working for rightoids.

I can totally see how conformormists accept the propaganda from an ethics class as the new consensus and start a self-perpetuating spiral of bullying the less conformist people to also boycott rightoid projects.

Institutional legitimacy is a very important cowtools for how busybodies operate (currently it's wokies)
