Deeply appreciate your words.

An important point I try to remember: technology’s purpose is to extend human’s capacities. Just like a hammer lets humans “human” a part of themselves better, so does AI, social media

However, as we “human”, we tend to think the tech we make is separate from the actual humans. Thus, we think they’re separate from the biases humans have created. In fact, most of the times, they tend to amplify them.

Glad to see more voices pointing out how we can better the human — and “human” parts of ourselves.
