Ask a human to draw an orc. How do they know what an orc looks like? They read Tolkien’s books and were “inspired” Peter Jackson’s LOTR.

Unpopular opinion, but that’s how our brains work.

I get it - Fuck Israel, Fuck Microsoft.

But if MS says “Israel lied on their TOS and said that this AI was only for educational purposes”. You’d prefer that they violate every student’s privacy in case they were secretly working for Mossad.

Ok, here’s a question for you:

Let’s say Microsoft counters with “Our terms and conditions were very clear that this software should not be used in war/genocides/holocausts”

Is that good enough? Who’s responsibility is it to check? Are vendors always supposed to keep tabs on their customers or is it a good enough excuse to say “naughty customer we told you not to do that”?

I’m not defending any actions here, but I always wonder if people want platforms that monitor and police everything or they value privacy and trust more.
