A Microsoft employee disrupted the company’s 50th anniversary event to protest its use of AI.
“Shame on you,” said Microsoft employee Ibtihal Aboussad, speaking directly to Microsoft AI CEO Mustafa Suleyman. “You are a war profiteer. Stop using AI for genocide. Stop using AI for genocide in our region. You have blood on your hands. All of Microsoft has blood on its hands. How dare you all celebrate when Microsoft is killing children. Shame on you all.”
Sources at Microsoft tell The Verge that shortly after Aboussad was ushered out of Microsoft’s event, she sent an email to a number of email distribution lists that contain hundreds or thousands of Microsoft employees. Here is Aboussad’s email in full:
Thank you, Lemmy. I can’t find this on the technology subreddit. Reddit Is complacent.
attempted to post the link on technology subreddit. It said that it has been posted too many times. I went and sorted by new, and it’s not visible.
Not too many years ago this would have been at the very top of the technology subreddit.
suspect for sure
Glad you could find it.
https://www.reddit.com/r/technology/comments/1jrhu8w/microsoft_employee_disrupts_50th_anniversary_and/ Not that hard to find. Nice spiel about reddit though. Very convincing.
You say complacent, I say complicit.
I keep this shot as a badge of honour
I thought I read it as complicit the first time.
