#STEM graduates once clamored for jobs in Big Tech, but not so readily anymore. Since Israel began its genocide in #Gaza, it has relied on AI and surveillance systems developed by once-dream-job companies like #Google #Amazon, and #Microsoft Today, many students and workers, uncomfortable with the prospect of fortifying the Israeli war machine, are engaging in a concerted effort to build alternative futures in technology.
The #colonialism project never ended—it just got better PR.

Game developer sentiment on AI has shifted dramatically: 52% now view generative AI negatively, up from 18% two years ago, according to GDC's 2026 industry survey. The backlash coincides with widespread job losses - 28% of respondents were laid off in the past two years, with AAA studios hit hardest. The gap between investor optimism and worker concerns continues to widen.
