Salesforce CEO Says AI Enabled Him To Cut 4,000 Jobs


Speaking to The Logan Bartlett Show on Friday, Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff said the use of AI agents had enabled him to "rebalance" his headcount in the customer support division by trimming 4,000 jobs. "I've reduced it from 9,000 head to about 5,000 because I need less heads," Benioff said. Benioff called the first eight months of 2025, during which an estimated 10,000 jobs have been lost to AI, "eight of the most exciting months of my career."

Indonesia urges EU to remove biodiesel import curbs after WTO ruling


cross-posted from: lemmy.zip/post/47137207

Indonesia urged the European Union on Monday to scrap countervailing duties on imports of biodiesel immediately, after the World Trade Organization backed several of Jakarta's main claims in a complaint to the trade body.

in reply to schizoidman

As a European citizen I concur.
If we can use rape seed oil, we can also use palm oil, palm oil yields 4 times more oil per m². So from an environmental perspective, palm oil from Indonesia, that has sustainable production, is the better option.

Tariff on Indonesian Palm oil only serves to protect EU farmers. The widespread demonization of Palm oil is a propaganda stunt, to protect against a superior crop/product.

World's largest sovereign wealth fund divests from Caterpillar and five banks on Israel concerns


The world’s largest sovereign wealth fund has quit its investments in U.S. machinery manufacturer Caterpillar and five Israeli banks following a review of the companies’ ties to conflict in the West Bank.

The executive board of Norges Bank Investment Management (NBIM), which manages the fund on behalf of the Norwegian population and is valued at around $2 trillion, said Monday there was an “unacceptable risk that the companies contribute to serious violations of the rights of individuals in situations of war and conflict.” The decision was based on recommendations from its ethics council, it said.

NBIM said that bulldozers manufactured by New York-listed Caterpillar were “being used by Israeli authorities in the widespread unlawful destruction of Palestinian property.” NBIM had a $2.4 billion stake in the company at the end of 2024, representing around 1.2% ownership. CNBC has contacted Caterpillar for comment.

in reply to apfelwoiSchoppen

Caterpillar is an infamous case because their bulldozer crushed American activist Rachel Corrie to death in the 2000's. There was a big lawsuit over it but the US decided that it was a-okay for an American company to keep sending bulldozers to the Israeli military because it would "interfere with foreign policy"

I believe this same ruling was used as a precedent to strike down the arms export lawsuit against Genocide Joe when he was president.

Interesting. I run a Threadiverse client on iOS and Android. I haven’t run into any issues with Google, yet.

Apple has this rule I had to comply with:

  • You must be able to delete your account from the app
  • Lemmy delete account via the API requires password entry, even if you’re already logged in
  • Apple however, claims password entry is too much friction for the user to delete their account
  • A workaround is to link out to Lemmy website to delete your account. Even if you have to enter your password on the website, in Apple’s mind, this is somehow allowed despite being more friction?

I get the sense Apple wrote these rules to improve user experience, and they’re applied without anyone really considering what effect they’re having on the UX.

Protesters in Israel demand release of hostages as Israeli strikes kill 16 in Gaza, hospitals say


LOD, Israel (AP) — Protesters in Israel on Tuesday torched tires, blocked highways and clamored for a ceasefire that would free hostages still in Gaza, even as Israeli leaders moved forward with plans for an offensive which they argue is needed to defeat Hamas.

The disruption came as Palestinians in Gaza braced for the expanded offensive against a backdrop of displacement, destruction and parts of the territory plunging into famine. It also followed deadly strikes a day earlier on Gaza’s main hospital which killed 20 people including medics and journalists. Among them was Mariam Dagga, a journalist who worked for The Associated Press.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was expected to convene a security cabinet meeting later Tuesday. However, the government said the meeting will not include discussion of ceasefire talks, according to an official with knowledge of the situation. The official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak on the matter, said there was a delegation from Egypt in Israel on Monday and they discussed the negotiations.

Netanyahu has said that Israel will launch an expanded offensive in Gaza City while simultaneously pursuing a ceasefire, though Israel has yet to send a negotiating team to discuss a proposal on the table. Netanyahu has said the offensive is the best way to weaken Hamas and return hostages, but hostage families and their supporters have pushed back.

“Go back to the negotiation table. There’s a good deal on the table. It’s something we can work with,” said Ruby Chen, the father of 21-year-old Itay Chen, a dual Israeli-American citizen whose body is being held in Gaza. “We could get a deal done to bring all the hostages back.”

in reply to Stamau123

What the fuck… they’re not even trying to find good excuses anymore.
in reply to Stamau123

it's fascinating that from the headline it's absolutely unclear whether the protests are even related to the 16 kills. if i were glancing (and wasn't aware of the situation), i would've thought that 16 were killed as Israeli finally listened to the protesters or something.

"protesters in Israel" (must be some foreigners) vs "Israeli strike".

while they actually demand a ceasefire that will allow for release of hostages, and their government does everything to avoid that ceasefire. oh, and then there's "strike kills 16" leaving it ambiguous whether military or war crimes.

also ceasefire implies both sides are fighting. from what i can tell Hamas pretty much stopped fighting almost two years ago.

"Israeli protesters demand their military to stop attacking Gaza, as Israeli army kills 16 civilians and journalists in an attack on a hospital in Gaza in another apparent war crime".

how about now?




Israeli soldiers said to have shelled hospital after fearing camera being used to track them


Military officials tell Hebrew-language media outlets that an Israeli army tank team shelled a camera stationed at Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis earlier today after believing the device was being used to track troops.

Two shells were fired by the tank, with the first targeting the camera and the second hitting rescuers who were operating at the scene. The strike killed 20, including five journalists, according to media reports and Hamas health officials.

Reuters and other news providers often deliver live video feeds to media outlets worldwide during major news events to show the scene from the ground in real time. A review of Masri’s live feed from before the strike did not appear to show any soldiers.

The United States, France, Canada, Germany and the United Kingdom all have laws against foreign enlistment. However, they allow IDF recruitment through exemptions, treaties or permissive interpretations of the laws

In response to the ICJ’s July 2024 opinion, 40 independent UN experts advised that states should be taking steps to prevent their dual Israeli citizenship from serving in the IDF to avoid being potentially complicit in war crimes or crimes against humanity


That's why i have been all saying palestinian state recognition in those circonstances are meanless and just a smoke screen

in reply to mrdown

These "permissive interpretations" also mean that if someone is fighting for example for Russia or some mercenary organization, they could justify it based on the right to equal treatment in the face of the law. These are the kind of laws that must have no exemption.

They should arrest those dual citizens upon arrival in the country and charge them accordingly.




Journalist quits Reuters over 'role in Israel's assassination of Gaza journalists'


She made particular reference to Reuters' reporting on Israel's killing of prominent Al-Jazeera journalist Anas Al-Sharif and six other media workers on August 10, saying the agency had "perpetuate[d] Israel's propaganda". She said it had been "wilfully abandoning the most basic responsibility of journalism" by publishing the "baseless claim" from the Israel Defence Forces (IDF) that Al-Sharif was an operative for Hamas.

An initial report published by Reuters received backlash after running with the headline: "Israel kills Al Jazeera journalist it says was Hamas leader".

Zink said she could no longer wear her press pass without feeling "shame and grief", as she shared an image of her press card snapped in half alongside her statement.

in reply to geneva_convenience

It's sickening how these outlets literally side with a government against their own innocent murdered workers. Some of them would literally side against their lived experience if they narrowly escaped and lived to talk about it. All for a country that perfectly personifies the term "cry-bully."

in reply to Lasherz

I just went and read the article, I see nothing wrong with the headline or their reporting. The article is full of refutations of Israel’s claim and is clear that none of Israel’s claims have been corroborated.

Reuters is a newswire. They’re always going to report what the parties involved are saying in a dry and dispassionate manner. Not everything needs to be an editorial. They do the same thing when it comes to Russian attacks in Ukraine. They’ll share what TASS is saying while noting that they cannot corroborate the narrative.

Questa voce è stata modificata (2 settimane fa)
in reply to frongt

I can understand that view, but I think it’s newsworthy to know what a government is claiming in order to be able to refute the claim. As I said, the article makes it very clear that nothing the Israeli government has claimed is verified and they cite multiple sources that counter Israel’s narrative.
in reply to NOT_RICK

It would also be prudent to mention that Israel has a history of lying about this particular topic. They didn't have any issues making that claim attachment when Russia was encroaching on Crimea, and the Kremlin was denying it.
in reply to Lasherz

I just went back to some 2014 articles about Crimea and I’m not finding what you’re referencing, can you give me a hand?
in reply to NOT_RICK

It's pretty much impossible to find an article where the journalist treats the Russian soldiers as unknown or neutral parties and almost just as hard to find articles that give the full statements from the Kremlin without the implication being that it's not a proper explanatory statement given the situation. The reason is the statements filling the majority of the body are from western sources, which were more reputable in that instance.

To your point on covering Israel, it would be in the interest of telling the story accurately to mention that journalists are vetted through the IDF and all footage is subject to that vetting as well as who is allowed in. The factual model you present breaks down when access is limited, both by the IDF killing journalists and by limiting the eyes on the ground journalists, their equipment, their film, and their employees at every level. If you control the opposition's ability to communicate reality, then you win under that model, but other news models like what Zeteo does mentions those things and the perspective is prioritized with the proper rarity and reputation that it actually has.

Questa voce è stata modificata (1 settimana fa)

I didn’t know that about the vetting of journalists. You think there is access journalism at play in terms of the favorable treatment in articles or is it just plain old bias?
in reply to NOT_RICK

It's both. You don't bite the hand that feeds you as hard as it might deserve to be bitten. Selection bias is the main thing I see in news. They wouldn't have that position long if they engaged in wrong-think or pointed the camera in the wrong class' direction.
in reply to NOT_RICK

A claim not published needs no refutation.

Reporting what people say is the domain of gossip magazines. Report the facts of what people do.

The claim is published by Israel regardless of whether or not Reuters reports it. Reporting what governments say is the job of the media as the fourth estate, imo.

Why doesn't it include the Israeli military as a source which says that Israel did it on purpose?

It seems fairly important to cite the literal perpetrators instead of just the PR department.

Also as noted in the summary of the article, when Anas Al Sharif was killed by Israel, Reuters directly put the IDF lie in the headline without refuting it.

Questa voce è stata modificata (2 settimane fa)

Ah, I get the connection now, thanks. I’d imagine Reuters didn’t receive the same statement from their IDF sources as the Israel Times did, idk. I’d certainly prefer them to add that to the article, or subsequent reporting.

Edit: as of an hour ago Reuters is reporting the camera narrative from the IDF. They put quotes around “Hamas camera” in their story to indicate it’s just Israel’s narrative.

I’ll add my own editorial to this, claiming a camera is Hamas… fucking ridiculous.

What you describe isn't how it always was. News have grown accustomed to skating by with nothing but police statements, for the most obvious example, to make very bold claims. The obsession with being early and the risk of bucking the system of power only to be proven wrong later has been crippling for media integrity.
in reply to NOT_RICK

Probably because the article and the headline were not created by the same person. Putting Israel's claim in the headline puts its legitimacy above all others and makes it the default narrative. Given their consistent dishonesty, Reuters should know better. Especially when it comes to a (former?) employee.
in reply to LibertyLizard

Yeah I recall people getting similarly mad at them using Russian claims in the headline. Definitely not best practice from my POV.
in reply to NOT_RICK

and is clear that none of Israel’s claims have been corroborated.


So then why even include them, let alone make them the subject of the headline where most people stop reading?



How businesses deflect responsibilities for addressing modern slavery in their supply chains


Author: Kam Phung | Assistant Professor of Business & Society, Beedie School of Business, Simon Fraser University

Despite growing awareness and legislation aimed at eradicating modern slavery — including forced labour, bonded labour and other extreme forms of human exploitation — efforts to combat the issue remain largely ineffective.

The United Kingdom, the first to enact a modern slavery act in 2015, is a case in point. The latest government figures show 5,690 potential victims in the U.K. were referred to the Home Office between April and June. This is the highest quarterly figure since the national referral mechanism began in 2009.

This could be attributed to a multitude of reasons, including an actual rise in exploitation, growing awareness of the issue and more training being provided for frontline services. But the effectiveness of transparency and disclosure laws in achieving substantive change in businesses’ behaviours has long been questioned.


The article then dives into the details of how this happens and potential ways to address it

It's a cultural problem.

"It makes us more money" will always be a viable excuse, because the useful idiots listening to it would do the same thing in their position.

Until our culture changes where we can put people before profits, then we shouldn't expect these problems to be fixed.

India Post suspends US-bound parcels from August 25 after new American duty rules


The Department of Posts has announced that it will temporarily stop accepting most postal consignments to the United States from August 25, following changes to US duty rules that come into effect later this month.

The US issued an order on July 30, withdrawing the duty-free exemption for goods valued up to USD 800. From August 29, all postal items sent to the US, regardless of their value, will attract customs duties under the International Emergency Economic Power Act (IEEPA) tariff framework. Only gift items up to USD 100 will remain duty-free.

According to the order, only international carriers and other “qualified parties” approved by US Customs can collect and pay duties on postal shipments. But since the process for approving these parties and setting up duty collection isn’t clear yet, airlines have said they won’t be able to carry US-bound postal parcels after August 25.

So it's not just due to the tariffs, but even more because the Trump administration has so far not provided a working system that can be used to pay those tariffs. So not just malice, but incompetence too.

Every Year, Sanctions Kill More People Than Wars


Between 2010 and 2021, unilateral sanctions caused ~564,258 deaths each year – more than five times the number of people killed annually in direct armed combat. This warning comes from a new report published in The Lancet, which contextualizes decades of data on how sanctions affect mortality.

“From a rights-based perspective, evidence that sanctions lead to losses in lives should be sufficient reason to advocate for the suspension of their use,” the study’s authors argue. But that is far from reality. Over the same decade, nearly a quarter of all of the world’s countries were affected by sanctions, driven primarily by a sharp increase in unilateral economic measures imposed by the United States and its European allies.

While Western sanctions “have the claimed aim to end wars, protect human rights, or promote democracy,” the report shows they do the very opposite. By restricting a country’s ability to import essential goods like food, medicine, and medical supplies, and by slashing public budgets, sanctions systematically undermine healthcare systems and other vital services.

https://peoplesdispatch.org/2025/08/02/every-year-sanctions-kill-more-people-than-wars/

in reply to Diva (she/her)

As a kid, I thought sanctions should be considered a war crime because they deliberately target non-combatants in order to cause suffering on a mass scale. As an adult, I still view it the same way. It's cruel, and aimed at the people who have no control over what their governments do.
in reply to swelter_spark

It’s a very easily reversible process, even the reasons for sanctions have to be cited! If you think that’s cruel, you should see why they were put there in the first place


India’s supreme court orders inquiry into giant zoo run by son of Asia’s richest person


Activists claim Anant Ambani’s Vantara facility has no plan to return its endangered species to the wild

India’s supreme court has ordered an investigation into allegations of illegal animal imports and financial misconduct at a vast private zoo set up by the son of Asia’s richest person.

Vantara, which describes itself as the “world’s biggest wild animal rescue centre”, is run by Anant Ambani, a son of Mukesh Ambani, the billionaire head of the conglomerate Reliance Industries.

The site in the western state of Gujarat is home to more than 200 elephants, as well as 50 bears, 160 tigers, 200 lions, 250 leopards and 900 crocodiles, among other animals, according to India’s Central Zoo Authority.
