This feels like an under discussed topic - reconciling not wanting AI to cause harm with having other nation states invest in an “AI arms race” without a similar constraint. https://t.co/UJkmHGdXEq

I mentioned before in November, it's absolutely heartbreaking to see HoloLens used this way. This is not what I evangelized. I encourage fellow Microsoft employees to sign the letter. Thread of some of my feelings why incoming. https://t.co/1lcdIrtenv

When big tech refuses to work with the US military, they give a de facto advantage to countries like Russia and China.

Empowering aggressive, expansionist countries by weakening US forces makes conflict and oppression more likely, not less. https://t.co/v58hXUrLpQ

The United States needs the support of our greatest tech companies more than @Microsoft needs these 50 workers. The future of combat will include augmentation of all our senses, and @HoloLens is a great step towards that future. https://t.co/rPMx1YoHRG

"We are alarmed that Microsoft is working to provide weapons technology to the U.S. Military, helping one country's government "increase lethality" using tools we built. We did not sign up to develop weapons, and we demand a say in how our work is used" https://t.co/eIhY7MFn0W

"Increasing lethality" is not using tech for good.@Microsoft must not allow its technology to be used to kill people. Microsoft should commit to @BanKillerRobots

Luckily Microsoft staff see this and are calling the company to take steps.https://t.co/mGK0lTFzCm

Microsoft employees are unhappy that Hololens - a tool billed as a device for gaming, or work - is at the centre of a US miltary contract designed to increase soldiers' "lethality". Microsoft tells employees: thanks for the feedback https://t.co/Np24GW4Kvy
