Vercel, a cloud platform for web apps, had hundreds of developers migrate off its platform overnight after CEO Guillermo Rauch posted a photo with Israeli PM Netanyahu on Sept 29, 2025, praising their discussions on AI and expressing optimism for Israel.
“Enjoyed my discussion with PM Netanyahu on how AI education and literacy will keep our free societies ahead,” Rauch wrote, while expressing hope for “peace, safety, and greatness for Israel and its neighbors.”
The post quickly racked up nearly five million views. Shortly after, a pattern emerged in online forums and private engineering groups: hundreds of developers were leaving Vercel. Not loudly, not with open letters or coordinated campaigns, but by doing the gritty technical work—reconfiguring deployments, moving DNS records, rewriting files line by line.
I just don’t understand what goes through the minds of these people. Money really just consumes you, and pollutes your brain.
Why in the world would you brag about meeting a near-globally wanted war criminal
“I feel liberated,” one top banker told the paper. “We can say ‘retard’ and ‘pussy’ without the fear of getting cancelled.… It’s a new dawn.”
I don’t think people realize how fucking smoothbrain incompetent the powerful and wealthy are. I think everyone understands that there is rampant nepotism in this country, but don’t notice the scale of the problem. One of America’s biggest weaknesses is the deference we give to people who have a lot of money, regardless of where that money came from.
These nepobabies will elect a fascist government that eagerly wipes it’s ass with the US constitution, just so they can OwN tHe LiBs on social media. It’s the type of thing that can only come from people who have never faced any kind if hardship or consequences in their lives. Who cannot even imagine that the same constitutional rights they’re trying to trample are protecting them, because they can’t imagine an existence where they need protection.
Fuck these clowns.
It’s also probably partly due to religious brainwashing. Many of the so-called Christians in the USA have this worship of Israel thing that they use to ignore the genocide or justify it. Israel is always the good guy no matter what, to these people. Because God said so. Somehow they conveniently forget all the teachings of Jesus about compassion, forgiveness, helping people etc.

That’s not how that works at all. Christians in the US believe Jews are heathens who are gonna get what’s coming to them when Armageddon happens, while Christians themselves get Raptured. They support Zionism – not Jews themselves, Zionism – because shipping them all off to Israel both (a) hastens that fate (because “the Jews return to Israel” was prophesied to be a precondition of it) and (b) removes them from the US in the meantime.
Also conveniently disregard all the times yhwh allowed his people to be conquered and exiled because they disregarded their own teachings.
The business idiots do not live in the same world we do.
I wouldn’t describe Vercel as an AI company. I’m not defending them, but if we just start labeling any company that offers an AI product as AI, then literally every tech company will be an AI company.
Is it still fashionable to claim you were always an AI company, and just developed <unrelated product> to build the capital to achieve your AI goals?
In any case, AI is (and always was) a meaningless buzz word. Worse, it’s a pop-culture adjacent buzz word.
Hahaha - fucking YT Theo cucks getting exactly what they deserve: depending their entire deploy/hosting stack on daddy vercel, instead of learning rsync and bash.
You deploy with rsync?
