[quoteTech workers at both Amazon and Google have long-protested Project Nimbus, which is Google and Amazon’s $1.2 billion contract with the Israeli government and military.

The tech workers, who organized the group "No Tech for Apartheid," said that the Israeli miliary will use Google technology for "genocidal means."

"It’s clear that the Israeli military will use any technology available to them for genocidal means," the group said in a recent statement. "Google workers do not want their labor to power Israel’s genocide of Palestinians in Gaza."][/quote]

Is Israel's "Lavender" part of "Project Nimbus"?

This one I agree with…
Look up the Lavender program… they’re having AI decide which sites get bombed without humans pushing the button…

If they don’t want to work there, then they should quit. They don’t get to dictate what a company chooses to do. I wouldn’t work for a company if I disagreed with their practices. I’m not self centered and egotistical enough to tell them not to do it because I don’t like it. What entitlement.

That's quite a blood thirsty way to look at the use of AI in warfare 😯

The way I see it if a company can fire me for what I say on my private social media account (telling me what to do) I'm perfectly free to tell them what to do. They don't like it, they can fire me and I'll go collect unemployment. Same if a company doesn't want me moonlighting, or complains about the moonlighting I do. For example, some schools don't like teachers bartending. And we should all learn about what Google and Amazon might be doing. Google has been accused of being a monopoly and Amazon isn't far behind. We all should be concerned with their practices. I'm also concerned with what Netanyahu and the rest of the middle East are doing.

Learn about it, by all means. And feel free to disagree with whatever choices they make. But don’t presume as an employee that you have a saying in that choice. You don’t like it? Quit. But how entitled do you have to be to tell the company to abandon a 2.1 billion deal because you have moral objections?
Just as a consumer. If you object to those companies’ actions, then stop giving them your money. Somehow I’m thinking all those who are so outraged won’t do that, though 🤷🏼‍♀️
