Does make one yearn for the semantic web.

Relying on this company to access any information in the WWW is such a failure of technology...

AI can now be used to lessen the burden of initially creating RDF metadata.

What we need now is AI (supervised to a degree by humans) brought to bear to assist people in education and learning specific tasks, in addition to helping to do the tasks.

There’s nothing wrong with their stance and it’s not anti-semitic. They were fired because they overstepped the nature of their protest in Google’s eyes. I think there would be a difference between discussing their perspective, which is nondestructive, vs the sit in, which is directly disruptive to the rest of the office staff. From Google’s perspective, if everyone with a strong viewpoint on anything took part in this behavior, nothing would get done.

I don’t agree that what big G did was right, but I’m not surprised this is the outcome.
