> extremely bright people work for horrific/products companies like Facebook, Palantir etc

For what it's worth those companies have not brought any real innovation in the last 10 years, give or take, because if they had they would have been on top of the world (quite literally). Which makes me hopeful that some of the real geniuses out there (today's von Neummanns and the like) might still avoid those companies out of principle.



I doubt real von Neumann would avoid working for Palantir out of principle.
