Yeah she was working on AI auto-transcription for audio thinking 'this will help people sort audio! Yay' and found out it's 'it'll help them sort audio of Palestinian phone calls so we can forward locations to the Israelis for bombings! No!' Like how dynamite was supposed to be for construction and then it got turned into bombs.
How would you even screen tech work to make sure you're not contributing to genocides by applying? Only apply to companies that explicitly say 'Free Palestine' on their profiles? Do they even exist in the USA? Not to mention she familiarized herself with the policy supporting human rights concerns before sending that message. The one that in a sane world would have prevented any of this from even happening (Microsoft's involvement anyway).
