Being a mom is watching the "death" of the person you were before/trying to "birth" the new person you will become. As costuming has always been a big part of my identity, finding my way back to something that feels right has taken time. Today I felt I got it. In Heathrow. In the bathroom. #MomLewk

The technology is inherently extractive. As is capitalism. There is no clear remedy on a macro scale so let's go into this world with our eyes open. Let's just call it what it is.

This is the speaker's point -- this can be undone. These companies COULD choose to address it but why would they? I'm not proposing any remedies bc this tech is controlled by ~50 ppl who's entire value proposition is value extraction/theft - on every level.

96% of content scooped in these tools is English speaking. They mostly pull in English sources and do not effectively train on non-native English content bc that's not a priority for those companies. They're building for English speakers. #ColonialismNeverWentAway
