Comment on Microsoft fires employee protestor who called AI boss a ‘war profiteer’

IBM had a role in the holocaust. Those numbers tattooed on everyone in the concentration camp? Those were IBM ID numbers for the punch cards.
If IBM staff protested about their role, it’s been lost to history. But it’s repeating today with Gaza and the staff who speak out are being demonized. Israel’s Lavender AI is being used to kill civilians. History will prove this woman and the other employees right in the end.

Is Lavender AI made by Microsoft or uses Microsoft technology?
SulaymanF@lemmy.world 10 months ago
The IDF uses plenty of Microsoft technology

Depends who controls the narrative and how it plays out.

I still don’t think this “Lavender AI” actually exists, I think that was another scapegoat to blame their deliberate targeting of civilians on.

Israel has access to WhatsApp metadata and uses it to target people based on a poorly trained Israeli AI which calls everything Hamas. This is a scapegoat because it allows them to blame the machine for killing people at random.

A machine can never be held responsible, therefore a machine must ALWAYS make management decisions
