#feedbackloops — Public Fediverse posts

Executives keep asking "How do we use AI to make better decisions?"

The honest answer: clean your data first. Deduplicate your contacts. Reconcile the three spreadsheets tracking the same metrics with different definitions.

Nobody wants to hear that. So they build dashboards on top of garbage and blame the model when outputs are incoherent.

The intelligence was never the bottleneck.

You guys would like the Japanese approach which I've read is exactly what you describe. W Edwards Deming describes it in his books. https://deming.org/books/

AI won’t replace developers. It will replace your software process.

AI talk is stuck on speed. Trap. The real shift is technical deflation: software gets cheaper to produce, fast.

Moat shifts from code → spec quality + verification.

Track: time from “clear spec” → “validated working software”.

Cybernetics for delivery = tight feedback loops + automatic correction.

Prof Steve Keen recommended this short climate film to the seminars. So glad he did - I echo his recommendation! Strong shared themes with the climate elements of his critique of mainstream econ, incl. feedback loops, tipping points, and complex systems. And yet, accessible! An important film.

If you're already familiar with that one, and/or like your #WeirdMusic a little more in the #drone, #ambient and #soundscape vein, your next stop is Metaphysical Shitposting, which you'll find here:

https://etherdiver.bandcamp.com/album/metaphysical-shitposting

This one is more purely #experimental and heavily features the use of #ModularSynth and other outre tools including multitrack #cassette #recorders, #toys, #FeedbackLoops and more.

Even if you've checked it out before, I've added multiple new tracks in the past 30 days!

A quotation from Steven Moffat

JEFF: You’re not ready for the Giggle Loop. […] Basically, it’s like a feedback loop. You’re somewhere quiet. There’s people. It’s a — it’s a solemn occasion. A wedding. No — it’s a minute’s silence for someone who’s died. […] Minute’s silence ticking away. Tick. Tick. Tick. The Giggle Loop begins. Suddenly, out of nowhere, this thought comes into your head: the worst thing I could possibly do during a minute’s silence is laugh. (Overturns an empty beer glass) And as soon as you think that, you almost do laugh, automatic reaction. But you don’t, you control yourself. You’re fine. Whoo — but then you think how terrible it would have been if you’d laughed out loud in the middle of a minute’s silence. And so you nearly do it again, only this time it’s a bigger laugh. (Stacks a beer glass on top of the first one) And then you think how awful this bigger laugh would have been. And so you nearly laugh again, only this time it’s a very big laugh. (Stacks another glass) It’s an enormous laugh! Let this bastard out, and you get whiplash! (Stacks another glass) Suddenly, you’re in the middle of this completely silent room (Stacks another glass) and your shoulders are going like you’re drilling the road! And what do you think of this situation? Oh, dear Christ, you think it’s funny!

New post from me on recent stories of #CarbonSinks "collapsing" last year & Earth's "buffering capacity" reaching its limits, putting it in context of past trends & future projections. A bit of a lukewarm take by now, but hopefully a useful explainer!

The things that get attention online, even on Mastadon, are usually agreement candy (stuff people already believe, phrased snappily), rage-bait, or parasocial drama. Smart, careful, technically rigorous, ethically uncomfortable takes almost always get lower engagement because they demand effort.

"Earth’s climate is now departing from the stable conditions that supported human civilization for millennia. Crossing critical temperature thresholds may trigger self-reinforcing feedbacks and tipping dynamics... with long-lasting and potentially irreversible consequences"

I’m testing a metric I currently call Feedback Response Time.

It measures the time from real feedback becoming visible to a change being live that clearly responds to it.

Before I go any further:
If this already exists under a different name — in research or practice — I’d really like to know.

Looking for references, counterexamples, or reasons why this would not work.

Climate Emergency: Feedback Loops is a series of five short films, featuring twelve leading climate scientists, that explores how human-caused emissions are triggering nature’s own warming loops. Viewers learn why natural warming loops have scientists alarmed—and actions they can take. The series is subtitled in 20 languages and available to stream for free. This is a powerful, empowering classroom tool for teaching about climate tipping points.

Get our free lesson plans to use these films in your high school classes. 1/2

If we had to choose just one climate change related film to recommend, it's a tough choice, because we have some great resources in our library, but we'd have to pick Climate Emergency: Feedback Loops.

This series of five short films (which are available for free) explore climate tipping points + what can be done right now to make a difference. It's a great primer on the mechanics of climate change & the urgency of solutions. Our free lessons for this series are designed for grades 7-12. 4/n

The earth is warming the Earth.
Caused by the burning of fossil fuels.
Filling the air with heat-trapping gases.

But its more than emissions,
something else is at play.

@jwcph the statement that AI will come up with new story structures is of course nonsense. It may randomly generate something that humans perceive as new story structures and hence reinforce the production of stories with that structure. As always in innovation it's just another generator of randomness. #AI #feedbackloops #psychology

Large institutions yes. Smaller ones, maybe? Everyone should learn basics, and get an appreciation of where they sit on the Threat Spectrum. Also, UI/UX is improving.

Bitcoin breaks the worst #feedbackLoops. Also takes some power out of large cities. See also #CantillonEffect. Running a full node is resistance.

gedanke des #contemptus:

auch wenn ein #sprintreview keiner dedizierten struktur folgt, folgender leichtgewichtiger bogen hilft immer:

1️⃣ auf das schauen, was erreicht wurde. **What?**
2️⃣ gespräch darüber führen, was das für die jetzige situation bedeutet. **So what?**
3️⃣ anpassungen machen zur zukünftigen ausrichtung. **Now what?**

und das kennen wir von <https://liberatingstructures.de/liberating-structures-menue/what-so-what-now-what/>

Climate tipping points could lock in unstoppable changes to the planet – how close are they? Scientists have identified nine climate tipping points that could trigger cascades of feedback and lead to abrupt and irreversible shifts in the Earth system. Some of them may already have been passed, such as the collapse of the Greenland ice sheet3.
