It's telling that men would rather try to invent tech to replace humans' role in caregiving than step up as equal partners in parenting. Telling, that is, in that it shows how financial capitalism and patriarchy work together to dissuade men from doing "unprofitable" labor, like the work of care.

My wife: Can you read our baby a book?
Me: I can just play an audiobook from my phone.
My wife: But then it won't be in your voice.
Me: I can train a voice model.

it's good to see this laid out clearly, but i'm once again going to point to Peter Naur's 1985 essay "Programming as Theory Building"
The present discussion is a contribution to the understanding of what programming is. It suggests that programming properly should be regarded as an activity by which the programmers form or achieve a certain kind of insight, a theory, of the matters at hand. This suggestion is in contrast to what appears to be a more common notion, that programming should be regarded as a production of a program and certain other texts.

if you define programming as "developing a theory of the system and how it relates to the external world" then it's immediately obvious these tools are harmful, and equally obvious that they are not "good at coding"

Downside: The US now has government goon squads, and deploys them to try to intimidate voters into voting the way the president wants. Upside: They don’t have nearly enough goons. Not even close. They’re hoping fear will make up for that big shortfall, but it won’t.

"The application of information technology to organisations demands a wider knowledge than many of its specialists now display." Ha! I hear that 1973 Robert Stamper
The explosive growth of information technology has not been accompanied by a commensurate improvement in the understanding of information. It is undoubtedly easier to manufacture and distribute electronic hardware than to refine our concepts of information and disseminate them to the hard-pressed men and women who are trying to put the new technology to work in government, industry and commerce. Too often the computer has either had a muffled impact or caused unexpected damage when introduced by technicians who do not understand how information functions in organisations. The application of information technology to organisations demands a wider knowledge than many of its specialists now display. It calls for an understanding of both machine and human information systems.

Society is a fabric woven from threads of communication. Organizations occupy a significant area of that fabric and increasingly they affect the texture and tensions of the life of every individual. The products of technologies have had a profound effect upon society, which has adapted its contours to accommodate them as though they were objects underneath and external to it. But information technology is different. It can be woven into the fabric itself and, by making possible new patterns of communication among people, it can allow us to create new kinds of society
