We already have good answers on how to reduce gun violence, infant mortality or climate change.
The problem is too many people have a vested interest in the problems being unsolved. It isn’t because we haven’t invented smarter than human AI. When we do, we’ll ignore it too.

For 17 years working in trust and safety, I've watched talented people burn out on impossible tasks. The problem isn't the people, it's the systems. Traditional moderation requires months of retraining for every policy change. Only big companies can afford it, and even then it works poorly. 🧵 1/9

Remember these guys did multiple days about a squirrel that was killed by animal control right before the election as if it was the crime of the century. And now they're dismissing human trafficking an innocent guy to a foreign slave labor camp as no big deal.

This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.
