Despite employees urging Google not to move forward, the tech giant has reportedly signed a deal with the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) allowing its AI models to be used for classified work.

According to The Information, citing a source familiar with the matter, the agreement gives the DoD the ability to use Google’s AI for “any lawful government purpose.”

    C’mon disgruntled GOOG employee. You know what you need to do. And you can get rich with put options a few weeks before you do it.

      Protip to Google employees: if you’re going to protest, do an actual protest instead of whatever this performative crap was.

      No, that’s only allowed if you’re super wealthy or part of Trump’s cabinet. Regular people don’t get to play at the big boy table, they’ll come down on you like a hammer. Just look at the soldier who bet on Maduro getting “removed”. He’s facing charges while guys like Lutnick are making bank.

        If I ever went postal, lutnick would be near the top of my list. I won’t, but it’s nice to fantasize.
