So what are the top murdertech companies at the moment?

@aral
Meta

[mikeblake@climatejustice.social]

@aral Amazon

[davidculley@hachyderm.io]

@aral Elbit Systems, and those other Israeli weapons/drone manufacturers for autonomous shootings

[davidculley@hachyderm.io]

@aral For surveillance all those cameras in Tesla cars. But the question was murdertech, I don't know if Tesla qualifies for mass murder.

@davidculley @aral

That would include the IDF itself which developed the Lavender AI targeting system used to evil effect in Gaza. #murdertech

@aral Didn't think IBM was still in the genocide business.

[me@social.jlamothe.net]

@aral This is by no means unprecedented for IBM. Their history of enabling fascists goes all the way back to the second world war.

[freediverx@mastodon.social]

@aral

* Flock
* Ring (Amazon)
* Meta (lobbying for age verification)

[ml@social.mitexleo.one]

@aral I think Oracle should be at #2.

[luc0x61@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@aral Meta isn't there? Amazon can't fit? Apple isn't a good acolyte? Nvidia is a no-profit?
My guess is that any company over 1 billion of capitalization is either guilty or accomplice.

[eswag@dju.social]

@aral

Oracle?

[bob@epicyon.libreserver.org]

@aral What companies make the military drones?

[reggiehere@mastodon.social]

@luc0x61

Yes, Meta have been implicated in election manipulation.

@aral

[reggiehere@mastodon.social]

@nini

The genocide business just went out of fashion for a while.

@aral

[hypolite@friendica.mrpetovan.com]

@bob @aral Not sure this is relevant, they don’t market their products to the general public.

[kalvaro@mastodon.social]

@aral How did HP drop from the chart!

[jeff@mk.magicka.org]

@aral@mastodon.ar.al Raytheon, Northrop Gruman, Boeing, General Dynamics, General Electric. These are the ones doing the actual killing.

[sanskritfritz@fosstodon.org]

@aral
Anthropic? I heard they bailed out.

[ahasty@techhub.social]

@aral scrolled to far yo find Flock "Safety"

[tripleman@mastodon.social]

@aral Well, there's a whole shitload of Israeli surveillance/rooting/hacking/murdering companies that I have no idea what their names are.
