> We are an American company with offices in Palo Alto and Tel Aviv, where we have deep roots and the ability to recruit top technical talent.
The irony of pitching "safe super intelligence" while opening offices in a country that is suspected of using AI to bomb a population trapped in a ghetto, as reported by their own investigative journalists: https://www.972mag.com/lavender-ai-israeli-army-gaza/
It's not a coincidence they are opening an office in Tel Aviv.
Yes, Palestinians will be lab rats for testing all kinds of AI - surveillance, profiling and obviously weapons - before selling it to other countries
even more ironic is that no one replying to such comments
It’s an uncomfortable truth. Also, it’s hard to admit you’re tacitly supporting a genocide (it’s happening right now).
Even without an official confirmation whether it is indeed a genocide or not, there has been enough evidence of horrible crimes that should dissuade a company from operating in Israel. If you really want to work with talented (no doubt) Israeli researchers, just bring them over to the US or elsewhere.
