#feministtech — Public Fediverse posts

The engineer looks at that and goes:
"What the fuck am I supposed to do with a class of academics that refuse to emotionally grow up?"

Then they pause. And they realize: these people aren't malicious. They're local actors that act in locally coherent ways that reproduce globally incoherent systemic outcomes.

The engineer looks at **that** and goes:
"How do we fix that?"

And the answer the engineer arrives at is simple. They write a story in anger at 3am, and close with an open invitation:

If you're so certain you're right about AI, hard skills, and "touchy feely" soft skills, then why not invite the neuroqueer systemic engineer that builds a sub-Turing compiler that solves the Alignment Problem for structured inference onto your show. I double dare you. (Hand me your delicious unintegrated projections. I'll mirror them right back.)

Let's see which pitch the wine glass produces now. (Prediction: Dismissal and emotionally detached engagement trying to steelman me.) 🍷

(Fun fact: this whole thread is a paradoxical second-order cybernetic intervention. The fun thing about those: they work, even when you know the mechanism. 😉)

Cheers
