Also full disclosure, my startup too has an .ai domain name (which is how I learned about this in the first place) therefore I am myself a proud sponsor of Anguilla fish 🥰

I think I just like stories of unplanned little glitches in this big & terrifying system we're in - where the levers of power or scales of justice or something are suddenly flipped & we have get some big wins for the small fish 🐟

Curious what other little glitches are out there... 👀

Idk why I found this so fascinating & funny..

like they were allotted control over the domain in 1990.. they NEVER could've imagined this would happen!! 😅

And yet here we are- a bunch of fad-chasing, profit-hungry AI startups are funding Anguilla's sustainable fisheries.

Even better, here's how they're using the funds:

- paying down debt
- key infrastructure (i.e. the airport)
- renewable energy projects (i.e. sustainable fishery, biodiversity preservation)

🥹 so wholesome!! and smart!

California leading the way with regulation that will shed more light on these bleak statistics...

but will anything actually change? Probably not, and we won't depend on it. We'll just keep on building.

Those most affected by algorithmic biases - women, non-binary, LGBTQIA, BIPOC, & disabled folks - are the ones building the solutions...

yet LESS THAN 2% of VC goes to women and minority-owned startups... it's bullshit and we are tired😮‍💨

Building off of Lia’s piece here (see below) & just endlessly grateful for all the folks at Fight for the Future & other gender & abortion care access orgs part of the Bodily Autonomy track @fightforthefuture.org ✊🏽💜

Done!
