We do have to hold Microsoft to a very slightly different standard, because they’re a Military Contractor. They’re not going to risk hundreds of billions of dollars to take a stance and make a statement. In that sense, this should not surprise anybody.
It is, though. It’s one thing for some random artist to condemn the current admin, a totally different thing for a massive military contractor to. That is a different standard.
If Trump made himself an AI Trump Mickey Mouse video and somebody specifically asked reanimated Walt Disney for comment, that would be shocking. If a similar circumstance happened to Boeing or Northrop Grumman, then… No shit no comment.

No, we really don’t have to hold them in a different standard. It makes sense they are kowtowing to the fascist regime though
Yes my entire point is that what they’re doing makes sense. It would actually be strange if the did anything differently given their position.
Right, so no need to say anything about different standards

Not when it comes to fascists
Fuck that shit. Standards are called standards for a reason. MS can eat shit or comment.
