On #VeteransDay, we honor those who remind us that people are the true infrastructure of progress.
As veterans power our war and defense systems, people must also power our AI infrastructure — because without human values, even the smartest code fails.

Bit by bit, HR is taking over corporate life and moving up the office pecking order. There are various reasons for the profession’s growing importance
How HR took over the world
The profession has rocketed in size and stature. Will AI shrink it?

James Watson’s scientific legacy is undeniable.
But legacies get complicated when brilliance and bias coexist.
How does a man who helped decode the human genome fail to grasp the shared humanity written in it?

James Watson, Who Co-Discovered DNA Structure, Dies at 97
His collaboration with biophysicist Francis Crick on the molecular key to all living organisms would make him one of the most influential figures in modern science.

AI is now nearly as influential as real estate professionals. It’s shaping how people find homes, qualify for loans, and understand property values.
But #tech can scale harm just as easily as it scales access.

Reducing academic focus areas like gender, race, and ethnicity may narrow the research inputs that help AI systems understand human diversity. In the long run, that could expand the blind spots large language models inherit.

Tried using Meta AI to privately process a short Yoruba message before texting my mom — it just kept repeating the same line.
This further shows that we still lack language models that understand local languages, context, and culture.
