"While many in the blind community use LLMs unapologetically and proudly, I know people who do not enjoy using these disability dongles but they continue to use these large language models out of sheer, grinding necessity. I know blind peers who code software through an LLM because ableist developers refuse to code structural accessibility into their applications. I know blind individuals who strap corporate hardware to their skulls to decode their environments independently. I know Deaf individuals who rely on machine learning to translate the kinetic poetry of ASL into a spoken frequency. I know neurodivergent folks who use algorithms to navigate the exhausting labyrinth of corporate communication.
The tech industry treats this disabled survival as free marketing. They frame themselves as saviors while exploiting the marginalized community they actively helped to disenfranchise. These systems are massive, energy-draining disability dongles. They are a shoddy bandage applied to a canyon that capitalism dug in the first place."
