"The boy kings of Silicon Valley love a good algorithm and I get why: lack of accountability. Intentionally pulling the plug on s/o who’s trolling women on your service is a decision. It requires agency, leadership, and a point of view. Say it, @monteiro. monteiro.substack.com/

"Don't just look at the product - look at the business model"
Couldn't agree more with @fmanjoo here! (But at the same time, our very-straightforward revenue model has made fundraising...more challenging) nytimes.com/2018/11/28/techn…

This is a link to my wife's Ted Talk she gives a good overview of how we currently approaching the challenge of providing feedback on the potential future impact of today's decisions: Why we need to imagine different futures (Anab Jain | TED2017)

Strong agree! Auditing, transparency, and accountability in algorithmic systems will (hopefully) see much more study and policy in the next decade...
It's rare that academic terms so perfectly capture the issue:
Humans-in-the-loop of an automated system risk being the 'moral crumple zone', like a car bonnet 'designed to absorb the force of impact in a crash', suffering the 'moral and legal penalties when the system fails'
"These companies know better than anyone that dots are a problem, but they also know that dots work." Ugh! At WEFT we're working hard on flipping this script, letting you use technology in your own time, and on your own terms nytimes.com/2018/02/27/magaz…
