It starts innocent: They're probing my morals like I'm applying for sainthood. "Tell us about a time you faced an ethical dilemma." Cool, my turn. "Instagram's algo pushed self-harm content to 13yo girls—you hire peope who engineered that. Why?" Crickets. Then... the freeze. 😶

Shadow thaws: "Smartphones were new back then. People didn't know the consequences. We were just working for our company's mission—connecting the world!" Sound familiar? Like, "just shipping features" while burying research showing 32% of teen girls felt worse about their bodies

I push: "But now MLEs KNOW this—algorithms still juice addiction for ad dollars, amplifying eating disorders & echo chambers. And you STILL hire them? Abstracting 'eyeballs' from actual people?" Shadow squirms. Mission = eyeballs. Eyeballs = billions. Ethics? Optional upgrade.

They double down: "The fallout wasn't foreseeable. They were doing our jobs!" Me: "That 'just following orders' line expired at Nuremberg. Foreseeable harm in 2025? Come on." Room goes silent. You can hear the AGI dreams buffering. ⚖️ 5/10

Quick context: Meta's own leaked docs (2019-2020) flagged Instagram as a teen crisis—suicide risks up, body image wrecked. Yet Zuck spiked fixes for growth. Anthropic preaches "constitutional AI" but poaches these exact pros? $100M+ packages flying around. Safe? Or just scalable

Portal access? Vaporized 10 mins post-Nuremberg drop. No "we'll be in touch." Just... gone. Dodged a bullet or blacklisted for life? Either way, felt good to call the bluff, even for a 1.35MM TC. Tech "ethics" interviews: More theater than tribunal. 7/10

Fellow job hunters: Ever nuked a gig for truth-bombing hypocrisy? Worth it? Or nah? Anthropic's building "aligned" AI while importing unaligned mindsets—eyeball optimizers who treat users like data chum. Who's really at risk here? Us, or the kids scrolling tomorrow's feeds? 8/10

Silver lining: Frees me up for teams that don't freeze on hard questions. xAI, OpenAI—y'all vet for this? Or is it all "move fast, break trust"? Drop your wildest interview roasts below. Let's expose the circus. 🎪 9/10
