Adapting to their opaque, biased, and energetically #unsustainable tools is the trap they're selling us as something unappealable. Soon, #AI tools will have unmarked prices, and access to global production will be strongly tied to #socialclass ⚡️

The landlord and the #LA fires: how my friend’s loss revealed a new #hierarchy of who gets help | #California #wildfires

It is not a new hierarchy. It's a new manifestation of an old one, the #socialclass. Being priviledged isn't just about being born in a wealthy family. It's having access to a wide network of variously well-off people and to the technology and know-how, which usually goes along the former. #SocialMedia only reflect that, despite popular myths.

I came from a "middle-class" background but growing up I too could never have anything that I really wanted because nobody could afford to spend the money on me (so they said...). That experience scars you for life, no matter how "successful" you become.

"There is a sense of insecurity that never leaves you if you grew up working class – like you’re attached to a stretched-out bungee that could catapult you back into your old life at any moment" https://inews.co.uk/inews-lifestyle/been-working-class-middle-real-difference-3298188 < This is brilliant on #SocialClass #Class
As Jem Bartholomew says,
"Judge Robert McBurney’s ruling came weeks after ProPublica reported that two Georgia women, Amber Nicole Thurman and Candi Miller, died after being unable to access legal abortions in the months after the Roe v Wade ruling was overturned, which had guaranteed the right to an abortion until the point of fetal viability."

"It is generally men who promote and defend laws like the LIFE Act, the effect of which is to require only women – and, given the socio-economic and demographic evidence presented at trial, primarily poor women, which means in Georgia primarily black and brown women – to engage in compulsory labor, i.e., the carrying of a pregnancy to term at the government’s behest."

Our recent #BritishSocialAttitudes chapter discusses that people are more aware of class inequalities today. https://natcen.ac.uk/publications/bsa-40-social-class #SocialClass #Inequality #NatCenDataBites
Facial features linked to #stereotypes and #socialclass perception
#Faces perceived as poor exhibited characteristics such as being wider, shorter, and flatter, with downturned mouths and darker, cooler complexions. In contrast, faces perceived as rich were narrower and longer with upturned mouths and lighter, warmer complexions, corresponding to #perceptions of competence, warmth, and trustworthiness.
