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:

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.
