Five Microsoft employees were removed during a company town hall meeting after staging a protest against the company’s contracts supplying Artificial Intelligence (AI) and cloud computing services to the Israeli occupation military.
The demonstration took place on Monday, following an Associated Press (AP) investigation that revealed Microsoft and OpenAI’s advanced AI models had been utilised by the Israeli occupation military to select bombing targets in recent attacks against Gaza and Lebanon.
People on Lemmy (and the tech community) also skew heavily to tech industries so I’m not surprised they are shocked and disagree that saying you work for Microsoft is a bad thing.
No one disagreed that it’s a bad thing. (Go ahead, reread it) But it’s an understandable thing. That’s the point you’re not getting.
