She is her own person. Being against globalism is not even close to being "Nazi" or "Neo-nazi".
On the other hand, the pro-ISIS, pro-globalism banker Macron supports the very people that the Axis powers did in the Middle East - the predecessors to today's Islamists.
For the most of us, AI is trouble ahead that needs to be stopped and slowed down.
Perhaps Mr. Bezos should read a bit of Herbert's Dune to know what happens when you let technological progress go unchecked. The end result is worse than what it would be if humanity were included.
Herbert's Dune spoke of a large uprising against AI that crushed it completely. Centuries of progress went out the window just because someone couldn't use it responsibly.
If those behind AI/ML forget about or underestimate effects of the mass displacement of individuals, they may end up losing everything - where Ned Ludd not only wins, but does so gloriously on a global scale. If they depart from that path and start including humanity, especially the short/long-term displaced, they might live and see their creations survive.
Technology in the form of automation is making the future of employment uncertain, while at the same time continuously increasing the amount of death and suffering an individual can unleash against others.
That's Silicon Valley. If geology decided to rip a new one such that Silicon Valley (and the Bay) disappeared, while causing something to do similar with Seattle/Vancouver, we'd probably be in a better position to keep work versus losing it.
And to top it off the left is trying to currently trying to keep rolling back healthcare for millions of people with the ACA, while making access more uncertain as providers pull out.
The GOP is actually trying to bring healthcare back, not remove it. On the other hand, their opponents would rather have a law that diminishes access and lowers the quality of what jobs are left (29ers).
production of those products is never going to come back to the US, save for regulatory pain making it easier to manufacture in the US.
FTFY.
The days when someone without a college degree could go straight from high school into an assembly plant and make a big wage can return with sufficient regulation.
Once you include the displaced, the involuntarily retired, and unsuccessful new entrants, you get a number more in line with reality - especially with regions that have seen consistent decline.
I imagine that things are going to be very rough once automation _really_ starts cutting into employment in ways that haven't been seen previously. The ironic thing is that the "knowledge worker" is the target for this round, as most large-scale US factory work is offshored or automated by now. All that money people are paying to get themselves the education they need for a job is never going to be recovered if employees aren't receiving salaries to make it worth going in the first place.
Offshoring and automation aren't inevitable.
One can start by making it harder for employers to avoid hiring humans directly, especially those displaced by trade and automation.
Even if we could retrain the folks that mundane office automation and machine learning will replace to be healthcare workers, if those jobs are gone, what then?
Start making it outright painful for employers to offshore, contract out, automate, or avoid long-term/displaced.
Given that it is taking from too many at too fast of a rate and leaving way too many people in a long-term displacement, it is beyond time to pull the brakes.
You want automation, fine. Just make it a royal PITA to not bring in the displaced.

Russia this, Russia that - seems like the left really fears them for something despite being Soviet themselves.
The key takeaway is not whether we'll have thinking machines, but the consequences of unchecked automation.
If anyone's delivering and promoting fake news, it's Facebook with these ads and their self-approving news process.
By removing it from the GPL, they're just tivoizing the code.
Not all share in Furie's delusion.

I'd bet that it'd be OK if they had bots spreading actual disinformation about Le Pen. Not the NSDAP smears.

1) They didn't refuse service, they continued providing app data to those users. It was just intentionally false data.
Which is an intentional obstruction of measuring compliance.
Given their malicious attempts at evading compliance, that should at least nullify any agreements made to allow their operation.
The schools were not "shackled into" anything
Except that they were shackled given budgetary and dietary requirements, things that weren't issues at places like Sidwell Friends.
The reality is that they couldn't cook what they wanted.
Those numbers means nothing without knowing how many displaced were able to re-enter versus how many went to new entrants.
I am tired of the "blame the robots" thing.
It will stop when businesses stop writing off the displaced. Otherwise, it will continue and grow to an unstoppable pace.
Same thing with offshoring.
Humanity, and its ability to provide significantly compensated gainful employment, must be preserved at all costs.

Automation isn't the enemy it's a very helpful tool.
Unfortunately, Watson (the AI that betrays humanity, like the original one that betrayed NCR's John H. Patterson) needs to meet its burning end.

Quit pushing a culture that values violence, lack of education, and laziness.
The average Clinton or Sanders voter, in a nutshell.

[allegation that trade is less than automation]
Then hit both, hard. Their allegations only paper over trade-related losses with more prosperous regions.
