   It's also why, in 2019, on the 30th anniversary of the World Wide Web, Tim Berners-Lee got to reminisce in The Guardian about how, despite his best intentions, there were negative outcomes. So surprising!

   It is layer upon layer of cis white men insisting that they are benevolent creators who could not have predicted that their systems would create new problems and aggravate existing ones, despite having all of human history and decades worth of warnings to tell them otherwise.

   Large language models are simply the latest iteration of these extractive practices.
