Thank you for pulling this out of the vault. In my humble opinion, AI is not a blessing, it's a curse. A curse for those of us who are not white men or the women who choose to be their trophy wives.
As a white woman, I want to thank you for adding another piece of limited understanding to an experience that I will never have myself. How I pray for the day when every culture can bring together joy, compassion, sharing, and equality on the same plate. When I read essays like this, I have a profound sense of shame and loathing for the white culture that I am part of and I am fearful that the ultimate goal for these tech bros is a civilization where the beautiful tapestry that should make a life worth living is erased from the "agenda".
Deb, see… this is why I dragged that one out the vault. When I first dropped it, I had an audience so small we could’ve all carpooled to the comments section. Nobody saw it. Felt like selling soul food on a block full of vegans.
But I knew knew one day it was gonna land with somebody who felt it in their bones. And now here you are, pulling it apart, connecting it to your own world, and throwing it right back with that honesty and heart. That’s the kind of exchange that keeps me throwing these pieces out there, even when they’re raw and jagged.
This is exactly the type of conversation I want the XVOA community to keep growing into a place where we trade experiences, challenge perspectives, and connect dots that aren’t supposed to be connected. Glad this one found you because damnit it was meant to.
Wow! 9 views is all? Perhaps you'll get more views now. I'm going to restack this of course.
I felt the way you did for a long time but then things seemed to be getting better for a while and I was quiescent. Now however, I am again reminded that this bus ain't for us. We need our own.
My question is one of a practical nature. How do we get started and scale up?

Same here. You might want to re-visit some more of your older pieces. Thanks👹
