First off this morning, blessed to hear Peter-Lucas Jones (Te Aupōuri, Ngāi Takoto, Ngāti Kahu) speak about the amazing work of Te Hiku Media.

“We don’t just want to be the users of technology, we want to be the creators of it too.“

In particular, working in #language #technology, I cringe seeing article after article claiming that some new fancy app or AI is "saving a dying language". These sorts of stories perpetrate false narratives. We wanted to develop a resource to help tell these stories with respect. #langsky #langtech
