Getting your message out and then quitting is the way to go. Don't be a part of the hate machine and deny them of your skillset.

I don't want Google's engineers to have 100% Israel support though

They would really have to rely heavily on Gemini at that point. I don't think you can find many highly educated engineers who are so oblivious.

Stop using Google. Google is evil.

I always wonder what kind of people go to work for Google, Amazon, Meta, etc. They must be totally unscrupulous and only in it for the money.

Works for the devil and then complains it's evil.
Kind of on you, buddy. If you can get a job there, you can get a job many places and not be complicit in this.

Well, now he's not working there anymore, but he's looking for a big payout. Zhe refused to do work for genocidal maniacs, which is good.

I mean this company does business with ICE. Who did you think you were working for?
