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:
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.
I’m going to provide sources when I see actual arguments.
I don’t want to waste my time writing up an argument only to receive a “child muderer!!”
And we’re back to you demanding things from people. You provide sources whe YOU make a claim. So, I guess we’ll see how that works for you.
I’ll provideo sources when I see people do the same
Like I said, man, you demand sources while offering none. Who are you to demand from others what you do not provide? Just some guy. Certainly, you can’t think that is persuasive or even a valuable use of your time?
I’ve seen how lazily your kind replies so never in hell am I spending time if I don’t see effort
My kind? What does that even mean? You’ve spent just over a day replying to me. You clearly have the time. I feel like a broken record, but why are other people obligated to put in the effort that you aren’t?
