I feel that 0-failure-rate expectations from technology will keep us from progressing as a species.

Facebook disabled Thai-to-English translation back in April because it translated the queen as “slut” and it’s been disabled since.

I find it ridiculous that my Photos app suggests I change monkey to “lemur” while I have plenty of photos of monkeys and zero of lemurs.
