Nice, 🍻 to the people who made this happen.

I couldn't make it through that interview with the former Google employee, though. A few minor fact checks from before I stopped reading:

I don’t know if you know this, Mike, but the word “boycott” was actually coined in Ireland. Boycott was an individual, an Irish person, and that person actually got boycotted.

Almost correct, except the part about Charles Boycott being an Irish person. (He was unsurprisingly actually English.)

I worked for Google. I worked for Google at a time when… I don’t think they were as evil as they are now. And I worked for Google at a time when they did not use their technology for warfare or for governments. I really enjoyed my time at Google. And I am personally heartbroken at the path that they have taken, and I fully support the boycott of Google in order to support the Palestinian people.

I wonder when it was that this person thinks Google "did not use their technology for warfare or for governments". I guess they probably think Google only turned evil in 2018, when Project Maven started getting more press? Anyway, such a time never existed; the project which became Google was created by and for US intelligence. https://medium.com/insurge-intelligence/how-the-cia-made-google-e836451a959e

And it’s sickening to think that an organization like Anthropic can come in here, be given tax breaks, being given great publicity, and yet go on to commit the murder of over 160 schoolgirls in Minab, in Iran, but the Irish government says, “Welcome, Anthropic.”

Fuck Anthropic for (among other things) their Department of War contracts, but them taking the blame for the Shajareh Tayyebeh Elementary School massacre is some bullshit: https://www.theguardian.com/news/2026/mar/26/ai-got-the-blame-for-the-iran-school-bombing-the-truth-is-far-more-worrying
