@daringfireball @gruber hey John, I can see where you’re coming from but it is worth considering if the protesters may have been more informed about specific AI technology that impacted tactics which are really truly indefensible war crimes.

Here’s a really good article you may want to read for some context and then consider why an AI forum, even if Microsoft wasn’t involved in it, isn’t the worst place because AI war abstraction has directly led to extremely bad stuff:

@daringfireball @gruber and I see your POV on doing business etc. and think your argument there is well reasoned, but I hope you’ll read the article because it was, at least for me, eye opening in an almost life changing way about the misuse of technology with specifics I haven’t seen good reporting on anywhere else.

I say all of this in good faith and only looking to inform not argue. Take care.
