Imagine a future where everything seems to think for itself. Even your once-simple coffee-maker comes with biases with each update. In this not-so-distant timeline, I had the good fortune to hire an algorithm debiaser. They installed a cultural sensitivity expansion pack on the janky time machine, especially since some features of its onboard intelligence began to misbehave.

In this world, the race to create the perfect AI took a backseat. Instead, algorithms are nurtured like children. They're allowed to experiment, making errors that are then corrected. Surprisingly, this approach is pretty effective. It's even paved the way for a slew of jobs centered on overseeing and tweaking off-course code.

Need some tweaks to your tech or a quick realignment? Tony's your go-to.
