    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?

      Genocide apologists are the absolute worst scum.

        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:

              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.

                  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.

                        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.

                            Just wait. It's only a matter of time before the post gets deleted and the account gets banned. If you think reddit isn't censoring posts you're just not paying attention.

                              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.

                                  I would try to write up well-worded arguments backed up with valid sources, but there's no point. No matter how well I try to back up my arguments with valid sources, all I get is emotionally biased hate with no content so I've given up on that because it's not worth the effort. Feel free to give me articles from unbiased sources.

                                  I do admit that israel has done the odd shitty thing but it by far isn't as bad as pro-palestinian brainwashed people make it out to be.

                                  I want to also ask you to give an alternative response to what hamas is doing after reading up on how they have acted in the past.

                                    You see an article about a major tech company collaborating with a major world government, and you think the terrorist resistance cells living in dirt are the ones more capable of disseminating propaganda?

                                    What if you're the one who's consumed the propaganda? Where's the money, Larry?

                                          But critics warn the [AI] system is unproven at best — and at worst, providing a technological justification for the killing of thousands of Palestinian civilians.
