Finally got to the #vibecheckpod episode with @timnitgebru.blacksky.app about the perils of AI. Whew what a fantastic and succinct conversation. If you don’t understand (yet) how this project is tied up eugenics, give it a listen. And: we still have a choice. WE have agency. Use it.

So interesting that #VibeCheckPod and @theferocity.bsky.social have been talking about lot about friction, but in a good way. I want the friction. I love interactions with shopkeepers and clerks. As for coffee…I do not need AI to tell me what I want!
“The firm's push to deploy AI at a time when top brass are emphasising the importance of a personal touch might seem loaded with irony, but Niccol [the CEO] sees little tension.”
