"AI systems still perpetuate societal norms and stereotypes and misogyny and racism and harms. But because the 'AI as innovation' or 'AI as societal advancement' narrative has taken over, the other side of the debate or the other side of the argument rarely gets any attention." @abeba.bsky.social

NBC ran a piece where Mary Carrillo went to Norway to find out why they're so good at the Winter Olympics and i was yelling BECAUSE IT'S COLD THERE
then she went to a little tiny ski jump for kids and was like "it's free, equipment is provided, & they don't emphasize results"

Looking through comments on the latest video, and something stands out to me which we need to talk about:
Too many people hear "I think you should vote for Democrats in November" and think I went on to say "that's all you'll have to do and everything will be fixed"
Y'all gotta cut that shit out.
Rather than ascribing agency to machines that are built by other humans getting rich off of doing that, we should ascribe the agency to those humans and talk about what they're doing via their companies: stealing data, killing the environment, exploiting labor, and deceiving the public.
