[Peace-discuss] Google Is Said to Not Renew Pentagon Contract That Upset Employees v. Illiniwaks Killer Koh College of Law Faculty

[Boyle, Francis A]

“…particularly to the drone assassinations, “the most extreme
terrorist campaign of modern times” - which have killed more than 5,000 people,
including U.S. citizens and hundreds of children.” Chomsky {now 10,000+ people}


Google’s work with the Defense Department on the Maven program, which uses artificial intelligence to interpret video images and could be used to improve the targeting of drone strikes, roiled the internet giant’s work force.
Yeah, notice these 4000+ GooglePeople are certainly far  more principled and intelligent than the entire Faculty of the Illiniwaks Killer Koh College of Law put together-- but one: Don’t be evil! Fab.
