The Intercept article describes how Google has a $250 million dollar contract
to provide artificial intelligence to our war machine. And by the way, for all
you Apple lovers, Apple is involved with other high tech companies, helping the
government refine its spying capabilities.

We used to worry about "Big Brother" watching us. Now, even as I type this
not, google and the TV and my cell phone are quietly reporting my every move
to...somewhere. What great progress! We used to write something down and only
get in trouble if someone snooped in our private papers. Now we've advanced so
much that even as we type on the old computer, a drone is headed our way. And
all in the name of Progress and Freedom!

Subject: A Bronx tale
The most tired debate in Democratic politics is the one on class
versus race
-- should Democrats focus on the white working class and risk losing
black and brown base voters? Or should they write off the WWC and
focus on inspiring the base and driving them to vote in higher
numbers? We published a new book today at Strong Arm Press that is so
persuasively argued

and deeply researched that it ought to bury this conversation once and
for
all: The answer is that to do well with both groups, you must confront
race head on, and you must have a potent economic message for everybody.
It's a bit counter-intuitive at first but then as you move through the
book it eventually makes perfect sense. And despite the sophisticated
nature of the conversation, it’s quite an easy read. Based on
extensive analysis of polling, focus groups and innovative new
research techniques, Mike Lux has produced a must-read piece of work

and Democratic politics (and the good news is that it comes in
significantly under 200 pages, so you can get through it in just a few
commutes).
The book is coming out of the gate strong, already ranked 5,000th,
which isn’t that bad. But I bet we can get it into the top 100 over
the weekend or next week.
Google scoop: The company that started as a search engine with a the
motto “Don’t Be Evil” is now getting deeper and deeper into using
artificial intelligence to power drone warfare. After The Intercept
first reported on its contracting scheme with the Pentagon, Google
employees pushed back, and Google executives told them not to worry,
it was just a tiny contract. Lee Fang has a new story out tonight
showing that, in fact

, it was a contract with a potential to rise to $250 million and it
was linked to an effort worth billions.
Google this spring removed nearly all mentions of “Don’t Be Evil” from
its code of conduct. Really.

it’s surprisingly good. One of the best campaign ads I’ve seen in a long time.
