So Virtuix just got this big deal with the Marine Corps for their virtual reality infantry training system.

Sure, it's a big deal for Virtuix and the USMC. But let's be real: "Pretty cool stuff" doesn't cut it when you're talking about military training. DIY ethics are great, but they don't mean ignoring the consequences of your work. If Google workers want no part in this, maybe there's a reason beyond just being anti-military. They might have seen firsthand how tech can be weaponized or used to train soldiers for wars that aren't worth fighting. Cool? Yeah, it looks cool on paper. But what does it mean when you're the one wearing the VR headset and someone else is pulling the strings?
