By far the biggest problem with delegating judgement to machines is the people who own the machines can tune them towards outcomes they prefer but those who don't own anything can't. It's not the technology. It's a transfer of decision making power from rational accountable systems to capital.

I once worried that I'd never have what it takes to be a writer. These days I'm more worried that I did have it, and have misplaced it somewhere. But my work in progress just got an honorable mention in the Chapter One Prize, so I must still have a bit of juice left!

@moderation.bsky.app My profile is blocked, but I haven't posted anything controversial (in fact I've hardly posted anything). Can you fix it? I can prove my identity, if that helps. My bluesky profile is linked on my website.
