Microsoft is facing mounting criticism over its controversial complicity in "Israel’s" genocide in Gaza, with charges that its technologies have enabled surveillance, targeted assassinations, and repression of Palestinians. Critics say the company has played a central role in what some are calling the world’s first AI-driven genocide.

This image makes the Windows logo look like a political alignment chart and now I can't unsee it.

It's from 2024, but some of the best coverage of the use of AI in this genocide is from 972mag, a journalistic outlet whose team includes Israelis and Palestinians. https://www.972mag.com/lavender-ai-israeli-army-gaza/

Does anyone have a link to the original report mentioned in the article?

So when are we going to see Microsoft execs who knew about this (guaranteed, all of em) in jail cells for being complicit in a genocide?

I mean, I steal a loaf of bread and I might already end up in a jail cell. One would think that assisting in an actual genocide would get you a noose but who am into wonder about that?

Above the law.

Brother what are you talking about. The last president of both major political parties were equally complicit.

Huh, guess AI really IS getting to be indistinguishable from humans. It's certainly got the inhumanity down pat.

Where's the AI? It seems to be "if it moves, then it's a target"

Is that why Azure was down? Because the cease fire was broken?

Whatever. Orange ape says "no" and everybody is quiet.
