My mother-in-law is doing amazing work to promote accessibility:
“Latika, the organization for disabled children and adults…is building a campus that experts believe will be the first in India to be constructed entirely on universal-design principles.”

Designed for Everyone
Accessibility is a fundamental part of community participation, and India's National Building Code gives us the imagination to build community spaces for everyone.

Appreciate these insights from @emollick.bsky.social.
But the "wizard problem" isn't that AI is too opaque. It's that we're designing systems that hide their processes. We could build AI that shows its work, explains, and lets us intervene. Instead we're choosing black boxes and calling it magic.

Mollick argues we are drifting from co-intelligence to wizards. Strong results, opaque steps. I try to ask for receipts and name what must stay in my hands. Worth reading for #AI practice.
