Lately I've been thinking a lot about this visualization of wealth inequality. (@kanarinka.bsky.social and @laurenfklein.bsky.social might call it a "visceralization".) It's a few years old but is still so effective. eattherichtextformat.github.io/1-pixel-weal...

I said at a workshop at Lehigh today that a few yrs ago, a ChatGPT/DALL-E prompt like "generate an image of 4 doctors" would give an image of 4 white male drs, whereas now the drs would be more diverse--but that's only bc of superficial guardrails--the underlying data and model are still biased.
