Axon tried to recruit me to make payload drones that definitely won't be used to drop grenades and "definitely" won't be sold to US police and paramilitary to drop chemical weapons on civilians because it is "against their company values" (the company that tazes each other as an initiation rite).
I was debating on doing it to try to make everything work as badly as possible and learn how to make civilian countermeasures, but I ended up telling them to go fuck themselves and that they were liars, in no uncertain terms.
