Occupy provided me a lens through which to see systemic discrimination.

The disconnect I was experiencing was that people hated Wall Street, but they loved tech.

When I think about whether I want to take a job, I don't just think about whether it's technically interesting, although I do consider that. I also consider the question of whether it's good for the world.

Google is so big you have no idea what a given person does.

Every system using data separates humanity into winners and losers.

We don't let a car company just throw out a car and start driving it around without checking that the wheels are fastened on. We know that would result in death; but for some reason we have no hesitation at throwing out some algorithms untested and unmonitored even when they're making very important life-and-death decisions.

My fantasy is that there is a new regulatory body that is in charge of algorithmic auditing.
