Excellent post by the brilliant designer Ben Raine:
"AI reflects the data it’s trained on. That data rarely represents the diversity of people who use government services. Without inclusive research and co-design, the risk of exclusion and discrimination is high."

Feeling panicky, worried, 'other' and fearful. Seems like that's the purpose of this. Classic tactics used throughout history.

This is such a great example of traffic on it’s own being a vanity metric. Always have your checks and balances too

📈 The day after the election was X's biggest day for traffic this year - but also its highest-ever for account deletions 👀

I am trying my best to ignore the incessant news fest from 'over there' *waves vaguely towards the Atlantic ocean.
But this morning I thought I had a different pair of trousers on until about an hour ago.
How's your day going?

How's your Tuesday going?

Seven years. Seven years of getting logged out of the same system, having to ask to get reinstated, why? Because I couldn't see my password when I typed it in. First time with the option to see my password? I did it correctly. #Accessibility it works!
