I finally watched the documentary "Ghost in the Machine." It is depressing, but essential for everyone to see. I was aware of most of the sordid history in tech because my circuitous career (from genetics to machine learning and everything in between) continuously clashed with its eugenics underbelly. It sickened me then as much as it does now and is probably why I became an activist scientist. The one positive message is that we have defeated this before and can do it again.
