> I absolutely don’t want tech companies to use the money I pay them to harm people.

Just one example of many, but the companies that make the CPUs you and all of use use every day, also supply to militaries.

I am unaware of any tech company that directly does physical warfare on the battlefield against humans.

Another example: those companies that make drinkable water, also supply to militaries. But there might be a difference between supplying drinking water and making AI killing machines

    What’s an example of a company that’s making killing machines that a typical consumer or someone HN might be buying product or services from?

      The easy answer is Westinghouse (look for the youtube short about "things that spin"...)
