I noticed a phenomenon on this post - many people are tying this person's business decisions to some sort of moral framework, or debating the morality of their plight.

"Moral" is mentioned 91 times at last count.

Where is that coming from? I understand AI is a large part of the discussion. But then where is /that/ coming from? And what do people mean by "moral"?

EDIT: Well, he mentions "moral" in the first paragraph. The rest is pity posting, so to answer my question - morals is one of the few generally interesting things in the post. But in the last year I've noticed a lot more talking about "morals" on HN. "Our morals", "he's not moral", etc. Anyone else?
