“Shame on you.”

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:

    This is what happens when you read and watch hamas’ war propaganda online.

    There are photos and videos of russian soldiers dying. Does that give ukraine the fault for this war?

        I would try to write up well-worded arguments backed up with valid sources, but there’s no point. No matter how well I try to back up my arguments with valid sources, all I get is emotionally biased hate with no content so I’ve given up on that because it’s not worth the effort. Feel free to give me articles from unbiased sources.

        I do admit that israel has done the odd shitty thing but it by far isn’t as bad as pro-palestinian brainwashed people make it out to be.

        I want to also ask you to propose an alternative response to what hamas is doing after reading up on how they have acted in the past.

          The odd shitty thing? Israel’s been attacking innocent civilians for well over a year now. Hamas is shitty, but there is nothing that warrrants the level of destruction Isreal’s done to Gaza.

              I’d like to kindly remind you to piss off with your hypocrisy

              If you want argument you’ll get an argument; if not, then go back to your echo chamber (It’s located right next to the chamber pot from which you enjoy your daily feed)

              P.S. My sincerest apologies for the verbosity of the directions, but you seem to need it since you lack any

      You see an article about a major tech company collaborating with a major world government, and you think the terrorist resistance cells living in dirt are the ones more capable of disseminating propaganda?

      What if you’re the one who’s consumed the propaganda? Where’s the money, Larry?

          lol your other comment also just says “i wont engage”. you say the conversation is emotional but your replies have nothing but grandstanding. ive heard a lot of crazy unsubstantiated claims around Israel-Palestine, but the idea that accusations of innocents being murdered is hamas propaganda is possibly the craziest. what channels are the propagandists going through? whose support does hamas have to disseminate this propaganda? are we done with russian bots now we’re onto saudi bots?

          i will gladly examine the sources of information and challenge my biases, but you’re gonna have to give me more to work with. we have a LOT of info on childrens hospitals being bombed, aid workers being executed, major US news outlets softballing their coverage, etc. What basis do we have to believe your claims? cuz i got news for you: saying that it was okay to bomb an entire children’s hospital because it was full of terrorists, that is the propaganda. hamas using civilians as a shield, israel blowing up civilians anyway, how can you point fingers at one and say “that’s fine”?

      Children are not soilders. I don’t think anyone is criticising israel for killing hamas leader or soilders, especially given that hamas is a terrist organization, and Isreal is provoked; but bombing hospital, killing children, journalists, and destroying UN shelters are not okay.

      Whether terrorist attack justify a full scale invasion might be debatable, but sabotaging humanitarian effort, killing children and non-combative unit is not.
