A hearty "vielen Dank" to @ralf for being a wonderful host to this Fediverse newbie since last Fall (and to many other folks for much longer). All the best to you, Ralf, and anyone who helped you run this instance as long as you did. 🙏
A majority of responses are women saying, "okay, but what if no one listens to me and agrees that these are big deals we should treat?" 🫠#womenshealth #periods

The current widespread hatred of being empathetic and kind to others who are different from you (aka “woke”) seems in big part led by rich white supremacists and misogynists on TV and radio.
It’s also about fear of personal change. Some people get stuck. They have a sense of their own situated politeness and appropriateness (real or imagined) and don’t want to hear that they have been unintentionally offensive. They don’t even want to examine how others might see them. They cling to their POV.

Have you ever thought about why there aren't AI tax prep companies coming out of the woodwork? Perfect application: drudgery! Legible rules! Expensive human experts!
It's because they (rightly) expect that enough of their customers would get in trouble from bad advice that they'd be sued out of existence, if not indicted themselves.
That's how it should be with all AI apps. Be accountable for what you claim your model does, or don't ship it.
