Recently re-read this. So good.
I'm that middle class kid. I had my one throw, but now trying to afford more tickets for more throws, through things like freelancing.
All the while just hoping I'll never have to go back to working at the carnival.

i want 'programmers looking down on spreadsheets' discourse but like the opposite, like spreadsheet people looking down on programmers
'how can programmers stand not seeing the concrete data they're operating on' 'how can programmers tolerate not being able to live edit code'

The real 'divide' isn't between AI 'Safety' & AI 'Ethics'. It's between 'risk' & 'harm.'
Risk mitigation is a firm-focused corporate/technical/anti-litigation strategy.
Harm reduction is people-focused, based on acknowledging, investigating, mitigating, ending, repairing harm.

If you buy an expensive item don't save it for a special occasion, wear it. Wear it, repair it, keep wearing it.

We need to shift the focus from 'AI risk,' whether 'existential' or not, to AI harm.
'AI' (automated decision systems, LLMs, generative tools for images, voice, and video, predictive policing and other forms of automated carcerality, and more) are harming people RIGHT NOW.

Asking "if NPS is bad, what one metric should we use instead?" is a lot like asking "if this magic wand doesn't work, should we try a staff or an orb?"

The notion of a "product owner" is typically BS. If you didn't decide on the product and don't have the power to decide on a different product instead, then you don't "own" it, period. Quit letting business leaders pass the buck.

#Qualitative research is outstanding for understanding WHY.
BUT this does not mean that asking "why" questions in interviews is always the best way to go.
So what's the problem with "why" and what can researchers use instead?
