The story about Ibtihal Abu Alsaad, the Microsoft engineer who was fired for telling Microsoft not to use their software to aid #Israel in the Palestinian #genocide, is something I’ve feared all my career. Abu Alsaad said: “My biggest fear is waking up for my 9 to 5 and realising that my code has killed children today.”

I wrote this in 2018: “Software used to guide a missile has consequences. So does software used to profile applicants for potential jobs, or help people live a healthier life. Will you accept the moral consequences of your code? Will you accept both praise and blame for how your software is used?”

I’m always painfully aware of what the code I write can potentially do. There are bright red lines I will not cross, no matter the reward.

This wonderful full-page ad is running in newspapers today. I clipped this one from the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

We need to start teaching #programming at an earlier age . To all kids, not only those aspiring to have a #career in #tech.

We need to teach them before they get (too) exposed to #GenAI and #coding #AIAssistants

To make sure they learn #algorithmic and programming #principles and concepts. Not just copy and paste principles.

@Nonilex sadly…it seems foolish to hope at this point.

But that first shot of adrenaline…
When the righteous stood strong…nothing like it!
To these prosecutors…the “rule of law” mattered …
More their politics…& that…really mattered to me.

Don’t we all long to be worthy when called to…
Fight for the same #principles
Exhibited by these ethical, dedicated #prosecutors

I know I do.
Are we now a country of cowards & gluttons?
