When +972Mag revealed that Israel was using an called Lavender and trained on faulty data to decide who is or isn't a militant, and another one called Where's Daddy to track them until they were home to kill the whole family, many folks here rightfully wanted to know who was providing the servers and computer infrastructure for that.

Time Magazine now has at least part of the answer: & https://time.com/6966102/google-contract-israel-defense-ministry-gaza-war/

The Israeli Ministry of Defense, according to the document, has its own “landing zone” into Google Cloud—a secure entry point to Google-provided computing infrastructure, which would allow the ministry to store and process data, and access AI services.

@exador23 this is what we expected based on past activism around this topic, but it's very very good to have it confirmed and reported on

the company absolutely should not get away with this

@irenes @exador23 We really need get our heads around one important thing very soon or we’ll be in trouble:

These are not anymore companies in the traditional sense of the word, ie manufacturing a good or service.

These companies are power brokers and gatekeepers of a whole new domain. They can give or take away the power to create worlds and perform feats equalling magic.

Just letting things stay as they are will make them our feudal lords of a digital middle-age.

@exador23 Wow shit. The amount of compute it takes to run models and systems like that must be massive!

Which means Google & Amazon are making serious cash off providing Israel these capabilities.

That’s blood money. 😡
