that makes sense. i hate the fact that such a blatant play at covering your bases could hold up in any court. no matter the legal fineprint, it takes two functioning braincells to realise what’s going on here
Comment on Microsoft fires employee protestor who called AI boss a ‘war profiteer’
FourWaveforms@lemm.ee 1 week agoThat email was almost certainly written by lawyers with the intention of supporting MS in court, should it come down to that.

Bingo. Lots of stupid things at this level boil down to legal protection. You’ll see it everywhere once you learn and look.

“Lucky we’re not countersuing! Oh the damages you are certain to be causing in the futureeee, the burns”
Actually now that I think about it maybe this was a multimillion dollar protest. The headlines have been published for and wide. I bet a few people spent more time feeling guilty than working right after as well - imagine one of them quitting. Still somewhat hard to believe it would lose them contracts but perhaps there will be potential customers who want to avoid connection with Microsoft until this blows over.
