    Saytalla seeking advice doesn’t mean Gates is making the business decisions.

    And claiming Microsoft cloud services are worse than RTX’s actual bombs that kill children is a stretch.

      And claiming Microsoft cloud services are worse than RTX’s actual bombs that kill children is a stretch.

      They all kill children and I boycott them all. You’re the only one running defense by minimizing Microsoft’s role here.

      For example, Amazon, Google and Microsoft have all launched major cloud computing centres in Israel, offering businesses infrastructure critical to data-driven products and services. Intel is the largest private employer in the country, having commenced operations in 1974.

      Along with hundreds of other multinationals, Microsoft hosts its own research and development (R&D) centre in Israel, and it launched a chip development centre in Haifa. Nvidia, the trillion-dollar chip behemoth powering the AI revolution, has also announced it is expanding its already large R&D operations in Israel. The list goes on

      Gates’ advice is reportedly treated as gospel, and he also played a crucial role in fostering Microsoft and OpenAI’s partnership, and consequently, the success witnessed in the category.

      Claiming Gates isn’t heavily involved and influential in the business decisions is just straight up untrue, stop whitewashing his contributions to genocide.

      In summary, Bill Gates’s relationship with Israel is characterized by his admiration for the country’s technological innovation and his significant investments through Microsoft and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. While he has not publicly engaged in the political aspects of the Israel/Palestine conflict, his actions and statements suggest a supportive stance toward Israel’s role in global technology. This support is evident in his continued investments and public recognition of Israel’s achievements in digital security and biotechnology.

        You know what actually supports Israel? Food imports. You should be boycotting American, Swiss, German and Dutch farm produce. Cut off their food and they can’t bomb.

        Along with hundreds of other multinationals, Microsoft hosts its own research and development (R&D) centre in Israel,

        Any company with an office in Israel? You boycott every large business? EVERY ONE? Apple, AMD, Intel, ARM? They are all in Israel. How are you even replying to this post without uses the CPU’s that you claim to boycott?

        and he also played a crucial role in fostering Microsoft and OpenAI’s partnership

        AI isn’t killing children. Israeli leaders are killing children. OpenAI is super charged spell checker. Have you even used it? It fixes the grammar. It helps write software. But so did autocomplete before LLM’s.

        Claiming Gates isn’t heavily involved

        Are you an executive at Microsoft? Because if you aren’t YOU DON’T KNOW THAT.
