I’m convinced part of the path to AI was the excitement folks had to steal from Black people being automated
Unpopular opinion : We credit too much for “context collapse” And not enough to pure abusive entitlement that’s enabled based on money And we don’t do real literature analysis on social media for this reason
It’s funny because I pointed out a rights org hired a pretty well known passive aggressive racist and then gave me a “can we talk” With no support and dismissed it as “emotions” Most of the POC from that Org are gone And now everyone is stunned the mission is drifting right
