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:

    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.

        Yes, and journalist soilders, UN shelter soilders, and the humanitarian aid workers from World Central Kitchen from U.S., U.K., and Australia, believe it or not, also hamas soldiers.

          The UN palestine workers (or at least some) were proven to be associated to hamas.

          For the rest I need sources.

            ‘Source for thee, but none for me’ is an interesting rhetorical strategy. Let’s see how it works out.

                What the fuck are you on about? I’m commenting on your demand for sources while also providing none for numerous claims. Interesting strategy. You must have studied Plato.

                  As I’ve said all my previous efforts have beeen dismissed without even a hunch of an argument so google that shit yourself. It’s not like this stuff is difficult to find. Here’s a tip: it’s on the UN’s website

                    My man, I’m not commenting on any specific fact. You demanded sources up and down in these replies, but you then also insist everyone google your claims. That is certainly one of the techniques of all time.
