Despite employees urging Google not to move forward, the tech giant has reportedly signed a deal with the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) allowing its AI models to be used for classified work.
According to The Information, citing a source familiar with the matter, the agreement gives the DoD the ability to use Google’s AI for “any lawful government purpose.”
Protip to Google employees: if you’re going to protest, do an actual protest instead of whatever this performative crap was.

The biggest action I know of was the Women’s walkout in 2018, about 20k employees. But, no persistent action and no escalation, so no real result.
LMAO a hunger strike in front of companies who literally don’t give a shit if you live or die.
I think the scariest thing about Artificial Intelligence is the absolute fucking basement-dwelling, fart-sniffing, booger-eating, antisocial narcissists with zero ability to empathize with other human beings developing and “training” it. They spend their lives acting like a victim because they’re “autistic” but I have met plenty of autistic people who aren’t self-aggrandizing, narcissistic assholes, so it’s not because of the autism, it’s because they’re assholes.
We’re essentially letting AI learn socialization from the people with the least quality socialization skills and interpersonal skills available. That’s the scary part, the idiotic shit it will learn from these narcissistic fucking idiots.
