Microsoft employee disrupts 50th anniversary and calls AI boss ‘war profiteer’
-
I mean they sell to tons of military folks I assume. I know people didn’t sign up for it but the difference between genocide and military operation is purely what side you’re on. Also where do we draw the line? Windows use? Or just ai because of the mass surveillance capabilities? I can’t see that genie going back in the bottle.
Nothing wrong with the protest and good on them for getting the word out because the scale is crazy but we saw this same shit 20 years ago and nobody has the appetite to politically challenge the status quo so far as the intelligence community etc. and scummy use of technology.
Genocide vs military op depends on side? I am on neither side, an observer from outside and I can see one fully armed side holocausting another side for the past 70 years and making sure nobody from anywhere in the world complain about it through lobbying.

A Microsoft employee disrupted the company’s 50th anniversary event to protest its use of AI.
“Shame on you,” said Microsoft employee Ibtihal Aboussad, speaking directly to Microsoft AI CEO Mustafa Suleyman. “You are a war profiteer. Stop using AI for genocide. Stop using AI for genocide in our region. You have blood on your hands. All of Microsoft has blood on its hands. How dare you all celebrate when Microsoft is killing children. Shame on you all.”
Sources at Microsoft tell The Verge that shortly after Aboussad was ushered out of Microsoft’s event, she sent an email to a number of email distribution lists that contain hundreds or thousands of Microsoft employees. Here is Aboussad’s email in full:
She is SO BRAVE. Wow. I wish I had half that strength.

SHE needs to be DEPORTED to EL SALVADOR!
-Free Speech Loving CONservatives!
Actually in French we label dumbasses as "Les cons". It doesn't have the meaning of being sneaky or cunning, it just means they're morons. Pretty fitting

I keep this shot as a badge of honour

She has a very sought after skillset. It might be rough for awhile but she'll land on her feet. Her time at the Big 5 is done but they're all evil anyway.

This is what happens when you read and watch hamas' war propaganda online.
There are photos and videos of russian soldiers dying. Does that give ukraine the fault for this war?
This is what happens when you read Israeli war propaganda online.
Genocide apologists are the absolute worst scum.

I am temp banned for saying I hope a covid denier gets covid multiple times and is intubated each time to experience the panic of possibly never waking up again. I incited violence. I just hope they got to experience the trauma that I've seen working at a hospital. It might be real to them then.

You think that Israel would be Ukraine in this analogy?

What was the reason in your inbox?
The comment was in support of the Tesla pushback. Not directly condoning or calling for violence myself, but saying I wouldn't piss on a Tesla fire if Elon's mom was inside.

For "threatening violence" which apparently was due to a comment I made where I said I wouldn't piss on a Tesla fire if Musk's mom was inside.

Keep it up. With a can do attitude and a pocket full of dreams, you too can achieve this distinction one day

One State. Simple
One state, immediately in the state of civil war where one side has access to the most money and the best weapons? I gave up on this idea after seeing the effects of this current war. Either one side will eliminate the other or a bigger country will rule both of them as if they are children incapable of running their own lives. Is there a reasonable plan for peace other than these?
-
You can't bomb a place or rape its people into stability. We have 200 years of hard evidence for that (not that it was needed). Literally any other approach would be beneficial for everyone except the war profiteers
I don't think their goal is stability. It is elimination. And the same would be true if the situation reversed. So either that's what eventually happens or a bigger power steps in and rules them like children.

Not that hard to find. Nice spiel about reddit though. Very convincing. -
Children are not soilders. I don't think anyone is criticising israel for killing hamas leader or soilders, but bombing hospital, kill children, journalist, and UN shelter are not okay.
Whether terrorist attack justify a full scale invasion is debatable, but interfering with humanitarian effort, killing children and non-combative unit is not.
Hamas does rely on child soldiers.

AI is being pushed into war machines big time. America and China are both working on it. With ukraine showing how incredibly effective drones are in warfare, just imagine the damage and destruction a swarm of drones controlled by an AI could cause.
