This link goes to a gift article. “The agreement is another blow to Google’s corporate policies designed to maintain secrecy, which have been scrutinized amid the search case brought by the Justice Department.

In September 2022, conscient Jewish (and non-Jewish) Google workers were already fighting against Project Nimbus.
They predicted it would become a very efficient, yet deadly, discriminative tool, biased and incredibly dangerous.It is enlightening to watch 2022's video by the yardstick of today's Palestinian genocide.
All the fears and forecasts these activists had or made 18 months ago proved to be right and have happened.

"A national day of action is planned next Thursday as protests grow against Google’s secretive $1.2 billion program known as Project Nimbus, which will provide advanced artificial intelligence tools to the Israeli government and military.
We speak with two of the leaders of the protest: Ariel Koren, a former #Google employee who says she was pushed out for her activism, as well as Gabriel Schubiner, who currently works at Google and is an Alphabet Workers Union organizer. ”Cloud technology is extremely powerful, and providing that power to a violent military and to an apartheid government is not a neutral act,” says Schubiner on #ProjectNimbus. The pair also detail how workers are rising up against what Koren says is Google’s “culture of retaliation.”

I've moved from https://toot.cafe/@jyasskin to https://hachyderm.io/@jyasskin, so here's an #introduction for my new account.
I work on #WebStandards for #Chrome, and to push my company to do better, I'm a member of the #AlphabetWorkersUnion. If you work at Alphabet, you should join too!
I love programming, but I don't get to do it much anymore. I was on the ISO C++ committee, but now I prefer #Rust for big projects and #TypeScript for small because #MemorySafety is important!

I applaud the creation of #AlphabetWorkersUnion, and its attempts to pressure AlphaGoogle into more ethical, equitable practices. Big megacorps need as much pressuring into good behavior as possible.
It makes me wonder if it would be possible to move the needle coming from another direction - creating a non-profit shareholder's association which buys up voting stock. Could put all those Big Tech salaries to use by more directly influenciing policy.
