<p><em>A couple of things we&#8217;re hearing people talk about a lot this week are how they&#8217;re adjusting to working in a different way, and how they are adjusting their strategies to deal with the current situation. These are situations that are fraught with the possibility for unintended consequences &#8211; something Roisi Proven covered in her great episode (and talk) about the Black Mirror Test. We&#8217;re running this episode again to remind everyone to take a moment, engage your team, and think through both how the decisions you make now can help and how they can be misused &#8211; and then take action to mitigate the latter.</em></p>
<h3>Quote of the Episode</h3>
<blockquote><p><span style="color: inherit;">The point is to get as evil as possible, and not hold back, and not think about the feelings of others, it&#8217;s just about being really harsh about what your product could be used for, and then putting it into a little dystopian future that you create.</span></p>
