Yet another example about how AI can never be unbiased. If the AI comes into contact with human creations, it will enviably learn human biases. In this case the AI lends legitimacy to fake claims of a biological difference between races. As unreliable as the AI is, its sci-fi appearance will always convince some that it must be entirely legitimate.

What information praw can access is dictated by the platform. This raises ethical issues for how media platforms like Reddit have too much power deciding what can and cant be accessed. With no universal set of API rules, there can be no assurance that a platform wont let information leak.

I think this mindset is what keeps trolls seeing themselves as justified. If people think they are on the "right" side of bullying, it is easier to justify. I have done this myself in a lesser way, joining comments condemning people who do problematic things. I know how easy it is to troll without even knowing you're doing it.

This is incredibly disturbing. I had no idea that trolling could be so cruel and target such helpless people. I think Ive been subject to the thought that most trolling comes from people who "feed the trolls" but this proves that trolling can happen to anyone.

This point seems to directly contradict with 6.6.1. Each of their points come to a different conclusion as to if anonymity breeds authentic or inauthentic behavior. Its a paradox.

I find this particularly funny because none of these things are truly authentic. There are many problems that can occur at every level of this system, and there is no way to ensure that you are getting safe food. This is something we see on the news every day. People willfully trust this system that has been shown to have flaws.

I think this could have a strong connection to features that are reminiscent of old tech to make it easier to use. An example of this is how phone cameras make a camera noise. It uses things the audience is familiar with. For social media this can be used for a smoother user experience.

I think its interesting what this says about humanity as a whole. It is in our nature to gossip and conspire. We just do it in different forms.

This connects to the analogy about language translation we learned about in class. By breaking language into pieces we can understand, it becomes easier to grasp as a concept. This has for sure helped my understanding.

As helpful as this can be in stopping hate speech, I worry about how this use can be warped. Any technology created from a biased source can be biased itself, and this technology can be used to stifle marginalized voices.

Adding on to this, there are five common principles of Ubuntu (according to the University of Pretoria, South Africa). These are respect, compassion, solidarity, consensus, and human dignity. Other sources highlight a multitude of other principles focusing on humanity, kindness, and cooperation.

I find this school of thought particularly interesting because it uses the concept of mob mentality (that people will adopt the opinions of the masses instead of their own point of views) and turns it positive. It assumes that groups will peer pressure people into positive actions, ignoring atrocities carried out in part because of groupthink and anti-individualism. My perspective on this is warped by eurocentrism and my proximity to acts of violence enacted by large groups of people.
