Augmentation systems should be more like Bicycle Training Wheels and less like Cigarets: Tools should enable humans & communities to be less and less depended on them over time. The majority of current Augmentation / ML tools, cause complex life-long dependencies & addictions.

So much talk of "empowering" creatives & artists with ever more complex machine learning "augmentation tools". While that's fun, If you really care about empowering creatives, design social systems that *pay creatives real living wages*. Automation won't provide that.

Bicycles in Berlin are a good example of failed technology infrastructure planing. The gov is massively pushing bike sharing & access. Yet, they did not invest in Bike Lanes & other city planing measures such as Car reduction (DE car lobby too strong). The result? Dangerous Chaos.
When designing new technologies, it's tempting to analyse them in isolation - a grave mistake. All tech lives in a complex web of other tech, people, animals, infrastructure, history etc. All tech has positive effects (augmentation) and negative effects (amputation). -
