This is really fascinating to me because of the connections we've also found in my research between worse outcomes for software teams and contest cultures/competition mental models for software/zero sum thinking in domain specific ways for technological skills
"To understand America today, study the zero-sum mindset." My piece in @theeconomistevents.bsky.social this week on how zero-sum thinking arises and why it matters so much for policy and politics. Based on our research at the Social Economics Lab. www.economist.com/by-invitatio...

"The Gilded Age of medicine" is exactly right. These modern-day robber-barons are looting our health care system, and patients are paying with their lives. We need answers and accountability. We need to pass my Health Over Wealth Act.

In anthropology, we often refer to this impetus as "the Tyranny of Taxonomy." By virtue of forcing various phenomena into categories that can be quantified, you create the illusion that such categories are "real." Rather than methods through which to think about similarities and differences.
most people want a quick and simple answer to why AI systems encode/exacerbate societal and historical bias/injustice and due to the reductive but common thinking of "bias in, bias out," the obvious culprit often is training data but this is not entirely true
