This clip is deeply disturbing, it was shared with me today. A senior IOG employee describes autonomous killing drones using "skin tone" to identify targets, says it would be "quite trivial" and adds that for "third world" cultures it would be nearly impossible to defend against. Why is this the kind of example being casually discussed by someone representing a major Cardano company? This is not an isolated concern. We have already seen racial slurs from people connected to or aligned with IOG/Cardano governance circles. ie. Phil 🪏 a CC member and Lucas a former employee Does Input Output Group condone this kind of language and thinking from its employees, consultants or representatives? Do companies and organizations working with IOG, Cardano institutions, Cardano Foundation, EMURGO consider this acceptable? Because every time institutions fund, endorse or defend an IOG proposal without demanding accountability, they should ask themselves what behavior they are normalizing. Influencers keep talking about "controlling the narrative." But maybe the real issue is not the narrative. Maybe the issue is the conduct, comments and culture people are being asked to ignore. You cannot market your way out of this. Big companies, regulators and serious partners do not look at comments like this and say "great ecosystem." They ask what kind of culture allows it.
