There are so many initiatives within the Dutch gov to choose ethical tech, and then you find out about this..

Stephen Klein - Founder of Curiouser.AI proudly proclaims "In April, we took it to the next level with Looking Glass, your leadership partner, trained on millions of LinkedIn impressions." Its a horriible image!!
At the same time, recognizing the harms, the ways students might misuse tools, the unique risks being introduced—those require urgency. Strangely, I feel that is the part we are not speeding up.

Work is evolving away from repeatable processes. Routine & even technical work continue to get automated. The future of human work in the digital network era is in craft & creative work — focused on unique, non-replicable processes. Improving insights is critical for this type of work.
