I resigned from Google DeepMind bc it broke its founding promise by selling AI to the military without restrictions against killer robots or mass spying.
For months, I worked to stop this but watched powerful ethicists and institutions choose silence.
Here's what happened. 🧵

Firmes por la Patria pero no por sus compatriotas?
Indignados por un viejo al que no le compraron una panela, callados con el tipo al que ICE asesinó en EE.UU. a pesar de tener papeles en regla.

¿La diferencia?
El viejo servía para dañar la imagen de la izquierda; el muerto le daña la imagen a Trump
THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE CLEAR: NO MORE U.S. AID TO ISRAEL
Today, the U.S. House of Representatives will vote on an amendment introduced by Rep. Thomas Massie to cut the $3.3 billion in annual U.S. military aid to Israel. I strongly support this amendment.
Israel, like any other country, had the right to defend itself against the horrific terrorist attack by Hamas on October 7, 2023, which killed 1,200 innocent people. But it did not have the right to go to war against the entire Palestinian population. It did not have the right to kill more than 73,000 Palestinians and wound over 173,000 more — the vast majority of them women, children and the elderly. It did not have the right to destroy virtually the entire infrastructure of Gaza — the schools, the health facilities, the water systems, wastewater plants, the electric grid that a civilian population depends on to survive. It did not have the right to destroy or damage 92% of all housing units in Gaza. In other words, Israel did not have the right to commit genocide. And it did not have the right to escalate its violence and annexation of the West Bank while the world's attention was focused elsewhere.
Tragically, almost five months ago, Israel, with strong support from the Trump administration, launched a reckless and illegal war against Iran — a war that has killed thousands of people and left an already unstable region of the world even more unstable. That war expanded into Lebanon, where Israeli strikes have now killed more than 4,000 people and displaced some 20% of the entire Lebanese population. That is not "defending Israel". These are regional wars of expansion and terror, waged without a clear strategy, and without an end in sight.
The American people are catching on. Polls show that nearly three-quarters of Democratic voters now oppose sending military aid to Israel, as do more than one-third of Republican voters. Just 16% of all Americans support giving Israel unconditional aid.
And I am proud that this past April, 40 out of 47 Senate Democrats — a record number — supported my bill to block arms sales to the far-right, extremist Netanyahu government.
We have enormous unmet needs in our own country. Today, while 60% of our people are living paycheck to paycheck, tens of millions of Americans cannot afford housing, healthcare, childcare and other basic needs. Congress must focus on the needs of their constituents, not an Israeli government that is undermining American values. I urge my colleagues in the House to vote yes on the Massie amendment.
I am voting yes on an amendment to block $3.3 billion in American taxpayer dollars for Netanyahu and the Israeli military.
Benjamin Netanyahu, like Donald Trump, is a corrupt authoritarian who should face criminal courts - not receive billions more for weapons.
The American people want lower housing costs and more affordable groceries, not more bombs and foreign wars.
Trump promised to cap credit card interest rates at 10%.
He lied.
Last quarter, while working people struggle to pay their bills, big banks made a $49 billion profit charging 25-30% credit card interest rates.
We must take on the outrageous greed and usury of Wall Street.
Los de derecha se unieron para comprarle en masa al señor de la panela. Tan lindos. En vez de construir un gobierno que le garantice una pensión digna. Así son.
El gobierno americano pide otros 350 mil millones de dólares para "luchar contra el comunismo" en el país. Ahora en el relato fascista de Trump hasta los demócratas son comunistas. Lucharán otros cien años contra el fantasma. Por qué le temen tanto al COMÚN-ismo?
A Francia Márquez le hicieron la vida imposible por usar un helicóptero del estado, después de haber sufrido varios atentados. Ahora, todo el gabinete de Abenarco viaja en helicópteros y aeronaves pagados con los impuestos y nadie dice nada.
El racismo y clasismo colombiano.
@JamesH30189490@Ilhan The State of Israel uses the genocide of Nazi Germany to perpetrate another genocide. The right of defence is guaranteed at all when they have military and technological power. The Zionist invasion of Palestine is not a defense, it is imperialism.
Cuando dicen "quienes reciben ayudas del gobierno no deberían de votar" NUNCA se refieren a los empresarios que evaden impuestos, reciben subsidios, contratos o rescates del estado ni a sus hijos juniors con complejo de influencer, siempre es contra los más vulnerables.
No entregaron el escrutinio de claveros y entonces no hay escrutinio completo y los magistrados del Consejo Electoral cometieron un delito al acreditar a Abelardo como presidente de Colombia.
No hay escrutinio porque hay fraude y está demostrado en las demandas.
La actriz Whoopi Goldberg sobre el asesinato de ICE al COL Lorenzo Salgado Araujo: "Podría haberle pasado a cualquiera de nosotros...se callaron. Tenemos que seguir estos casos...mencionarlos...que no vamos a tolerarlo más. Las elecciones de noviembre son muy importantes"
@SilvaSanFelipe@petrogustavo Y cuántos más se fueron con Duque, con Santos o con Uribe? Petro no mató a nadie, dígale a su presidente electo que hable o es que le da miedo
No mezclemos.
¿Hay que combatir todo tipo de actividad informal ilegal? Sí, sin duda.
¿Entonces las mega empresas mineras/extractoras son pulcras y hay que otorgarles permisos de cualquier cosa en cualquier parte? No, jamás.
