Microsoft employee disrupts 50th anniversary and calls AI boss ‘war profiteer’
-
From the article:
The Israeli military uses Microsoft Azure to compile information gathered through mass surveillance, which it transcribes and translates, including phone calls, texts and audio messages, according to an Israeli intelligence officer who works with the systems.
From my understanding, they use AI to automate the processing of text, audio, and video data collected by the intelligence services.

LinkedIn just deleted her profile, I was following her yesterday: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ibtihalaboussad
It’s crazy how democracy is now implicitly democracy incorporated(TM) where individuals are silenced for expressing opinions about corporations. Vital institutions for a functioning democracy like media is now owned by big corporations, worse yet, in an increasingly monopolized way, blurring the lines between unelected corporations and elected government (who are also bought by corporations after or before they are elected)

In long.
In short:
The AI system labeled tens of thousands of Gazans, mostly men, as suspected militants, with a 10% error rate, meaning thousands were likely civilians.
Human officers spent ~20 seconds per target, often just confirming gender, before approving airstrikes.
"Where’s Daddy?": A companion AI tracked targets to their homes, prioritizing bombings at night when families were present.
The military authorized 15–20 civilian deaths per low-ranking militant and 100+ for senior Hamas officials
Strikes frequently used unguided munitions, maximizing destruction and civilian harm
Officers admitted acting as "stamps" for AI decisions, with one calling the process "hunting at large"

this is comedically evil I don't even know what to say

LinkedIn as in the website owned by Microsoft? You don't say!
And Microsoft will now just make sure she vant find a job anywhere? You don't say

Hamas does rely on child soldiers.
So it's okay to kill children, because they might be Hamas? Do you hear yourself?

"I hear your protest, thank you." He was trained with words of acknowledgement. Such useless words.
"I've heard it...and now I'm ignoring it."

I think a lot of companies will see her name in a google search, think "risk" and disqualify her
Then Trump will deport her.

I think she had prepared things before and moved quickly. I am amazed by her braveness and dedication and hope to improve by her example. I hope i can honor her commitment a tiny bit by working to further reduce my microsoft usage.
I drastically reduced it by switching to Linux.

Nothing will meaningfully improve until the rich fear for their lives

I fear that we have little time before they become self-sufficient enough on an island like Zuck and don’t need us bickering at each other or outputing wealth for them. Back to the cavemen times where the guys on top control the masses through brute force. This time AI-powered brute force. With advancements in robotics and multimodal AI, what stops Zuck or Musk from training their own army of robots (both humanoid and otherwise) and instruct them to detain or destroy people? They have the means and the data.

What a hero! I hope she is alright.

IMO since they can't even seem to wipe their own asses without us the rich will never be self sufficient or self sustaining on their own.

Imagine: an AI-powered ass wiper for the rich but it goes ballistic in the middle of it all and starts smearing shit all over the rich boomer who thought and AI-powered ass wiper was a good idea.
Jokes aside, I want to note there are many of the rich we don’t see clowning in the media like Müsk.

When parents knowingly let their children play near enemy soldiers they're stupid...
-
Yes, and journalism soilders, UN shelter soilders, and the humanitarian aid workers from World Central Kitchen from U.S., U.K., and Australia, believe it or not, also hamas soldiers.
The UN palestine workers (or at least some) were proven to be associated to hamas.
For the rest I need sources.
-
I would try to write up well-worded arguments backed up with valid sources, but…
I’d like to kindly remind you to piss off with your hypocrisy
If you want argument you’ll get an argument; if not, then go back to your echo chamber (It’s located right next to the chamber pot from which you enjoy your daily feed)
P.S. My sincerest apologies for the verbosity of the directions, but you seem to need it since you lack any
Haven't received any arguments yet

lol your other comment also just says "i wont engage". you say the conversation is emotional but your replies have nothing but grandstanding. ive heard a lot of crazy unsubstantiated claims around Israel-Palestine, but the idea that accusations of innocents being murdered is hamas propaganda is possibly the craziest. what channels are the propagandists going through? whose support does hamas have to disseminate this propaganda? are we done with russian bots now we're onto saudi bots?
Hamas literally rely on people from other countries to support their terrorism and prevent israel from acting. Hamas themselves are too weak to win this. All the sad social media posts and shit - all intentional, all manipulative. Why don't you go to palestine and bring justice yourself instead of complaining on the internet?
All the while they're themselves engaging in a genocide on israelis. Read up on that. Hundreds of experts around the planet agree on that.
Why should israel play fair when hamas doesn't? Hamas hides in hospitals, undeniably.
-
The odd shitty thing? Israel's been attacking innocent civilians for well over a year now. Hamas is shitty, but there is nothing that warrrants the level of destruction Isreal's done to Gaza.
Hamas abusing their own people leads to things like this
