Let’s Talk

Listen, we need to talk. Not the “sit-down-and-look-at-my-slides” kind of talk, but the kind where I tell you the house is on fire while everyone else is arguing about the drapes.

As someone who spends too much time staring at UX and AI, I’m telling you straight: the digital world is getting meaner, faster. This isn’t about some theoretical bias anymore. It’s an assembly line for bullshit.

We’re in 2026, and the people weaponizing AI against BIPOC communities aren’t just messing around in their basements—they’ve gone industrial.

The Three Ways They’re Screwing Us

• The Slop Factory: Low-rent AI is pumping out “memes” of racial trauma at a volume no moderator can catch. It’s cheap, it’s nasty, and it’s everywhere.

• Targeted Mind Games: Bad actors are using LLMs to get surgical. They’re tailoring propaganda to mess with Blerds, immigrants, and HBCU networks, trying to turn us against each other from the inside out.

• The Great Gaslight: Deepfakes have given every liar a get-out-of-jail-free card. Now, when someone catches systemic harm on camera, the villains just shrug and say, “It’s AI.” It’s a hell of a way to kill the truth.

Why I Give a Damn

I’ve been pushing the “AI-as-a-Partner” idea because I actually think this tech could be useful. But a partnership without trust is just a hostage situation.

If we let these tools be used to hunt people down and dismantle reality, we’re cooked.
