The rise of Anti-Notifications
- draw_down 8y ago> It’s always easy to blame technology, but it’s important to note that it isn’t technology itself that is at the heart of the problem, but our own inability to handle it. I don't think it's important to note that. Humans build technology to solve problems we have; to the extent that it worsens or contributes to those problems, or creates new ones, it should be fixed. This business of attempting to keep technology separate from human culture is how we end up with racist AI bots. "Oh, well the racism didn't originate in the tech, it just recapitulates the existing issues in the society." Sure, but that is a problem. Tech comes from culture and is of a piece with it. No to buck passing, no to saying "not my problem".
