      If you want to deal with bias in digital platforms, you gotta bring in people who think a lot about stratification, inequality, culture...

      Engineers, you know how you are befuddled by very smart people who can't figure out email? Sometimes, that's you, with human social systems.

      (Yes, Smart people can be confused by computers. I know one of world's top physicists: can barely email. Domain expertise. Really).

      The culture clash is real; methodological gap between engineers & trad social scientists is real but silos won't let you solve the problems.

      There is a lot of social science expertise in "unintended" consequences of "easy-seeming" fixes from available data. A lot of it is subtle.

      You can't just hire a few social scientists to Silicon Valley (often mostly economists anyway). Would need real teams; different thinking.

      Also, AirBnB's race problem was apparent from day one among social scientists BECAUSE IT WAS TERRIBLY EASY TO PREDICT. Why did they not see?

      We see this often: a terribly easy to see complication to business model is ignored for years, then a team of engineers tasked after outcry.

      Truth is, there *are* a lot of things companies CAN do easily to help solve this, and then there are a lot of hard problems in this space.

      You'd need—at a minimum—a huge dose of humility; willingness to hire & *empower* social scientists of stratification, culture & inequality.

      Meanwhile, academia & funders should empower people studying these systems from the outside. Too important to leave to "we'll try". /end

          Also this. Hiring economists to design your ad auction system is fine; these are not such issues.https://twitter.com/DontMakeMoi/status/773906172822839296 …

          Silicon Valley's great love for economists is itself a similarity bias, both as to methods and esp. sociopolitical outlook.

          this is great and i hope others listen. Just don't see how it's compatible with most VC's methods and motivations.
