  1. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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!

  5. 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!

  6. 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.

  7. 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:

    etherdiver.bandcamp.com/album/

    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!

  10. You know I.T. really⁴ is out of my hands when an eX-Roomate & His Mother, April Page, defected to Russian Intelligence, init, by their own actions an family ties, since the 1970's?

    Dumb #Facebook #harassment campaigns, Even Stupider Impersonation of Me on #Facebook, pointing out their own #surveillance weaknesses, via #feedbackloops , which ARE coming to an end, for them, because.. DefectorsKidZ did their ' #Oopsie, #Whoopsie, THEIR #Mistakes ' 3x, Generationally, init?

    #NotMyProblem, yeah? 💯
