And so then I say, “Well, that’s not completely the point. There is almost no big organization you interact with that doesn’t have at least some part of it devoted to some monstrous crime. Your phone is made with slave labor, the people who grow your chocolate have never eaten chocolate, your soda is made in factories where villages used to be before armed goons evicted the former residents and killed anyone who wouldn’t leave. If 0.01% of Google’s operation is helping genocide then they’re actually ahead of the curve, because the whole modern world is evil in specific parts of it.”

And then the guy with the sign starts screaming “Yes that is EXACTLY THE POINT!”

no ethical consumption under capitalism

[-] renzev@lemmy.world 20 points 3 weeks ago

Alternatively: The only ethical consumption under capitalism is eating the rich

[-] Aceticon@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 3 weeks ago

Nah, there's inherent dangers in humans eating humans, such as prions.

Best cut the rich into little pieces, feed them to pigs and then eat the pigs.

Google isn't a local business caught within the system also don't push a poor lifestyle on everyone. We are on lemmy and no money goes to israel here.

That is heartbreaking.

Israel's genocide in Gaza has created the largest number of child amputees in history.

They did remove 'Don't Be Evil' from their corporate code of conduct back in 2018.

[-] some_designer_dude@lemmy.world 14 points 3 weeks ago

Did they replace it with “be as evil as possible; we have a lot of evil-doing to make up for”

[-] Stovetop@lemmy.world 9 points 3 weeks ago

It's now "Do the right thing" (for the shareholders).

[-] WhatYouNeed@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

Sure it's not WTF?

[-] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

"Be as profitable as possible", but same difference.

[-] index@sh.itjust.works 42 points 3 weeks ago

Reminder that you don't get to see the pictures of these children on the news because governments and media are preventing it.

[-] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 17 points 3 weeks ago

What technology does Google make that can be used for that?

TLDR; direct from the article:

Israel has been integrating AI into the military for several years, using the technology to process surveillance footage.

IDF claims

“If anything, these tools have minimized collateral damage and raised the accuracy of the human-led process.”

So, take it with a grain of salt.

Which in a way makes their killing of children even more intentional

[-] DrDeadCrash@programming.dev 14 points 3 weeks ago

Seriously, Gaza is practically leveled and they're bragging about accuracy!

[-] drivepiler@lemmy.world 7 points 3 weeks ago

They very accurately targeted anything and everything in Gaza

[-] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago

It's absolutely intentional. There is no collateral damage because it's all intentional damage.

Here's more info on the AI that Israel uses.

According to intelligence sources, Habsora generates, among other things, automatic recommendations for attacking private residences where people suspected of being Hamas or Islamic Jihad operatives live. Israel then carries out large-scale assassination operations through the heavy shelling of these residential homes.

For example, sources explained that the Lavender machine sometimes mistakenly flagged individuals who had communication patterns similar to known Hamas or PIJ operatives — including police and civil defense workers, militants’ relatives, residents who happened to have a name and nickname identical to that of an operative, and Gazans who used a device that once belonged to a Hamas operative

AI system known as “Where’s Daddy?” tracked Palestinians on the kill list and was purposely designed to help Israel target individuals when they were at home at night with their families. The targeting systems, combined with an “extremely permissive” bombing policy in the Israeli military, led to “entire Palestinian families being wiped out inside their houses,” says Yuval Abraham, an Israeli journalist who broke the story after speaking with members of the Israeli military who were “shocked by committing atrocities.”

Humanity created the greatest educational tool in the history of mankind and we're more stupid than ever.

If there is a God, that asshole needs to send an asteroid.

[-] Nytarsha@lemmy.sdf.org 6 points 3 weeks ago

Ever see that movie Don't Look Up? I imagine it going the same way here.
