Microsoft’s Redmond headquarters has become the point of intense employee protests, fueled by reports that the company’s Azure cloud platform and artificial intelligence (AI) technologies are being used by the ‘Israeli’ military for mass surveillance and AI-driven targeting of Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank.
The protests, led by a group called “No Azure for Apartheid,” began with a Tuesday encampment of approximately 50 people who established what they called a “Martyred Palestinian Children’s Plaza”.
Someone else said it and I’m stealing it: these people are brave AF. They’re going to be struggling to find work for the rest of their lives.
I’m sceptical because a lot of companies (and Microsoft) rely on Linux particularly for servers. Also, there are a few companies out there (not Google though) that must surely have some sanity, and even some respect for people who speak their voice in the workplace. Might not be as well paid but you say jobs.
At least they will live knowing that they did the right thing in the eyes of evil. I doubt they will remain without work tho, MSFT in their CV will still weight a lot, and as the world is becoming more and more antizio, they will eventually find a good place among non assholes and nazi collaborators.
Besides the megacorps not many companies will remember this in the future.
