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.
No matter where you are in an organization, unless you’re csuite, you’re nothing. Always remember that. You do not get a say, your opinion is tolerated at best. I’ve known people at MSFT for decades and they think they’re opinion matters. It doesn’t. Tomorrow some exec will come in and stomp on you. Work to live, don’t live to work. Them saying this is good, but I like to remind people that they won’t care. Money talks.
Imagine thinking you have any moral high ground but work for a massive corporation.
