    The chief executive of ChatGPT-maker OpenAI, one of the most powerful startups in the world, said in a post on X that Muslim, Arab and Palestinian colleagues in the tech community that he has spoken with “feel uncomfortable speaking about their recent experiences, often out of fear of retaliation and damaged career prospects.”

    If they want to show support for hamas terrorists then they should rightly feel a fear of retaliation.

      What if they want to show support for ordinary Palestinians, not Hamas? Do they have your blessing in that case, kind soul?

        Showing support for civilians is totally fine and not likely to lead to any retaliation. For the workers to believe retaliation is possible makes me think that they want to express support for terrorism.

          Oh. So you “think” they want to express support for terrorism. Is that because they belong to a particular religion? Be as open as you wish. You won’t face any retaliation from me. 🤗🤗

            I feel like if this article was written with no mention of Arabs, Muslins or Palestinians employees, but just mentioned employees in general fearing being retaliated, Sugarfree’s comment would still stand nonetheless. And I kind of agree that if they fear expressing their opinions it’s because their opinions are too extreme and they know it. I mean, the “from the river to the sea” kind of opinion.

              Fucking what? The article is explicitly about Arab and Muslim employees

              It’s disgusting how fucking comfortable you islamophobic racists feel all of a sudden. I bet you think you’re so much better than the anti-semites too. Two sides of the same coin

              Y’all trying to gaslight us like the response to any kind of sympathy for Palestinians hasn’t been completely over the top.

          I may create a second account so I can downvote you again. What a circular, evil sentiment. The fact they’re worried suggests to you that they support terrorism. Fuck you.

            I am glad the upvote downvote ratio here is accurate to some degree. I do add notes to these accounts with label so it help ignore what they write on other posts…

          You jumped to that conclusion awfully fast, and you’re certainly not alone in that. That’s precisely why people fear retaliation.

      I’ve leaned that one of the most powerful tools for addressing whether a take regarding the conflict in Gaza is bad it’s to try testing how the logic holds up if we apply it to a different group or side.

      I’m Jewish. I’ve got a lot of friends and family that are feeling uncomfortable speaking about the huge raise in antisemitism we’re experiencing. Would it make sense to reply to that by saying, ‘If they want to show support for Israeli genocide then they should rightly feel a fear of retaliation.’. ?

      Altman is correct. Jews and Muslims in America should be working together to support one another against the simultaneous rise in hate against our communities. We should also be frank in recognizing that most Muslims do not have as much institutional support as most of their Jewish colleagues, and both need and deserve it.
