I just read a developer’s account of interviewing at Uber. They had to create a real-time surge pricing engine. I have a real problem with companies designing behaviours that just bleed everyone else dry. Creating more of a divisive world where the wealthy can do what they want but the drivers aren’t the ones benefitting.
There’s a good reason some cities ban their surge pricing entirely. Hopefully more will.

AI Bias Begins With One Question: Who’s Represented?
AI fairness isn’t abstract — it starts with dataset decisions. Dr. Cansu Canca explains how ethical conversations should be grounded in the practical questions engineers already ask.
In the full episode, she explores hidden bias in AI models and how we can build systems that are more just, transparent, and accountable.

This Ada Lovelace Institute blog is a fascinating read "Friends for sale: the rise and risks of AI companions"

BUT it just hit me RN that it's FapGPT cumming soon (pun intended). Nah bro, I don't make apologies for my dirty mind
TLDR
#AIcompanions offer constant availability and positive support but pose risks such as social displacement, unrealistic expectations, and emotional dependency.
Concerns exist regarding #DataPrivacy, potential manipulation, and the normalization of negative behaviours, highlighting the need for #EthicalDesign and regulation due to the lack of long-term research and business models prioritizing engagement over user well-being

UX design is powerful. But not always for the right reasons.
Dark patterns — deceptive interfaces that push users into choices they don’t want — aren’t one-size-fits-all. They’re tailored. Adjusted. Built to exploit vulnerabilities differently in kids, teens, and adults.
