è la 3a grande rivolta dentro #Google, dopo che nel 2018, i tecnici si sono opposti a
1) collaborazione #Google-#Cina per creare un motore di ricerca censurato

2) collaborazione #Google-#Pentagono per #ProjectMaven per la guerra dei #droni

Israel has Google and Amazon over a barrel, but this still isn't acceptable!

#US #military pulls the trigger, uses #AI to target #airstrikes
People still make the final decision, US Department of Defense (#DoD) has deployed #machinelearning algorithms to identify targets in over 85 air strikes on targets in #Iraq and #Syria this year.
The #Pentagon has done this sort of thing since at least 2017 when it launched #ProjectMaven, which sought suppliers capable of developing object recognition software for footage captured by #drones.

#AI #AIWarfare #USA #ProjectMaven #DoD: "Less than four years after that milestone, America’s use of AI in warfare is no longer theoretical. In the past several weeks, computer vision algorithms that form part of the US Department of Defense’s flagship AI effort, Project Maven, have located rocket launchers in Yemen and surface vessels in the Red Sea, and helped narrow targets for strikes in Iraq and Syria, according to Schuyler Moore, the chief technology officer of US Central Command. The US isn’t the only country making this leap: Israel’s military has said it’s using AI to make targeting recommendations in Gaza, and Ukraine is employing AI software in its effort to turn back Russia's invasion.

Navigating AI’s transition from the laboratory into combat is one of the thorniest issues facing military leaders. Advocates for its rapid adoption are convinced that combat will soon take place at a speed faster than the human brain can follow. But technologists fret that the American military’s networks and data aren’t yet good enough to cope; frontline troops are reluctant to entrust their lives to software they aren’t sure works; and ethicists worry about the dystopian prospect of leaving potentially fatal decisions to machines. Meanwhile, some in Congress and hawkish think tanks are pushing the Pentagon to move faster, alarmed that the US could be falling behind China, which has a national strategy to become “the world’s primary AI innovation center” by 2030."

Whatever Israel is using on Palestine you know Uncle Sam isn't that far behind.

@icedquinn
All drones, rather.

Workers at Google sent the military packing (see #ProjectMaven) but it seems that Cloudflare were not quite so encumbered by the ethics of #autonomousDrones.

Anyway Google have since complained that govt shouldn't know who is flying drones at what locations. They are really no better, wanting to enjoy a secret surveillance network.

Done with work on the #Thiel piece for today.

Oh, and look what I just found:

#Palantir is taking over #ProjectMaven from #Google.

But I'm sure that had nothing to do with Thiels 2016 campaign donation of 1,250,000$… :tinking:

A wanted poster of Peter Thiel. Fuck this guy in particular.

Le suspense était insoutenable. Google était hors course depuis l'opposition à #projectMaven. Amazon longtemps pressentie... mais c'est en fait @Microsoft@twitter.com qui a raflé le contrat à 10 milliards avec le Pentagone. 👏https://twitter.com/MsWorkers4/status/1187906814773551104 https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2019/10/25/pentagon-awards-controversial-billion-cloud-computing-deal-microsoft-spurning-amazon/
