Decades ago, women were told that if we didn't swallow our expectations of being treated with respect and decency, no man would want us and we would live lives of lonely desperation. We needed to lower our expectations for male companionship.
Now it's men who are living lives of lonely desperation and we're told that we need to lower our expectations so that men can have female companionship.
The common thread is that men are still fucked up and we're expected to adapt to their shortcomings.

Just in case you were still wondering whether it might be safe to attend the FIFA World Cup in the US, the fact that US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers will (apparently) being playing a key role in security for the tournament should give you pause for thought.
If they look out of control when dealing with people in the US then you can just guess how they will be with visitors.
Stay home & watch it on TV, would be my advice!

"AI is built on the collective knowledge of humankind."
No. Nononononono. It is not built on _knowledge_, it it built on _data_. And not everyone's experiences are available as data, many communities are excluded. Also: "Collective" implies some sort of collaboration and shared activity. But "AI" is just accumulation by a few powerful.
So No. It's not collective but extractive, not knowledge but data, not humankind but the hegemonic western view. Everything in that statement is wrong.
