   Yes! I have screaming this from the rooftops for years: we tech folks need to get better at thinking systemically, better at anticipating the unexpected consequences of our work when it enters into a feedback loop with humans.

   I am so glad to see folks tackling this essential work. Thank you @natematias (and ht @ct_bergstrom):

     @inthehands @natematias @ct_bergstrom

     Anticipating and communicating risks of unintended system consequences in our fields of expertise is a good start.

     We need to be better at practicing recovery from and correcting bad feedback loops; the responsibility is societal, and the conversation is vexed by notions of rights, blame, and responsibility anchored in the individual.
