🎉 US throws $1.2B at a German firm to *not* build offshore wind farms! Because who needs clean energy when you can pay people to do absolutely nothing? 🤡💰 #WinningAtInefficiency

🤖💊 A #Vermont #pharmacy chain decided to spice up their #inefficiency with some #AI magic, resulting in #delays and #privacy #blunders. Who knew that artificial intelligence could be so adept at turning a simple #prescription into a game of telephone? 🙄📞

Oh, look! 🌬️✨ We put a giant fan in the middle of nowhere to make the world's most expensive fertilizer because, you know, nothing screams "sustainable" like reinventing an ancient process with modern-day #inefficiency. 💸 Ammonia never knew it could be this exciting—or unnecessarily complicated. 🙄

😒 Ah, because what we all desperately needed was a tool to turn our crisp GitHub workflows into tangled messes and back again, right? 🎉 Now you can spend hours converting complex pipelines into even more convoluted ones just to show off your cutting-edge #inefficiency. 🚀 GitHub, thanks for making sure our workflows are as indecipherable as possible! 🙄

RE: https://mastodon.social/@gwaldby/116875544723393918
A few highlights (didn’t read to end but I’m captivated by the notion of ‘purchasing intelligence by the syllable’): “… Microsoft, which has invested approximately $13 billion in OpenAI and writes up to 30 percent of its own code with generative AI, instructed engineers in a major division to stop using an AI coding assistant because the bills became untenable. One unnamed company, per Axios, ran up a $500 million Claude bill in a single month after management forgot to set a usage cap. These are structural miscalculations about what intelligence costs when you purchase it by the syllable.
“Bryan Catanzaro, Nvidia's vice president of applied deep learning, put it bluntly: the cost of compute for his team now far exceeds what the company spends on the employees using it. The company that manufactures the hardware powering the AI revolution acknowledges that the technology is more expensive than the people it was supposed to augment.””
Says everything about (or describes) the inefficiency of the tool & the wealth of certain parts of the world. Also perhaps absence of (or breakdown in) cost-benefit analysis or perhaps - more widely - values.

In yet another groundbreaking revelation, the article informs us that testing software without feedback is, surprise surprise, inefficient! 🚀 Who knew that blindly throwing inputs at a program without any guidance wouldn't yield stellar results? 🙄 Apparently, we've been doing binary coverage wrong since prehistoric times. 🦖

"Donald Trump took to social media on Monday to both celebrate and seethe over the Supreme Court’s rulings":
https://www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-supreme-court-rages-losses_n_6a429d0ae4b0f4826b469711?origin=home-latest-news-unit
All of the Supreme Court rulings should have been against Trump, in my opinion. One Supreme Court mistake replaces the civil service with a spoils system for federal government jobs. This will encourage mistakes such as the #IranWar.

When the savages of Louisiana want some fruit, they cut down the tree at the base and gather the fruit. That is how a despotic government works.

Best Video Essay (new category!): In Defense of Inefficiency by Zoe Bee
We live in a world that celebrates efficiency as a great virtue, especially in our jobs but also in how we spend our free time. I’ve often felt in the past that every moment of idle dreaming or hanging around or doing nothing is “wasted time” that could’ve been spent on a chore, a hobby, a creative project, or organizing an event. Yet as Zoe Bee argues eloquently in this video essay, there are many things that are easily lost when we focus on efficiency too much. In fact, in many cases focusing on efficiency is an absurd concept (for example, how do you enjoy a piece of music more efficiently?) As a teacher, Zoe takes a lot of examples of how ‘efficiency’ can cause harm from education, but the lessons themselves are certainly applicable in a far wider context.
I can highly recommend watching the full 1h video, since all the tangents and detours are a nice illustration of how inefficiency can improve communication. But there is also a 5 minute version that is more efficient but worse in precisely the ways that the video explains. And if you can’t get enough, there are plenty of other great videos on Zoe’s channel.
As a little bonus, I also want to recommend two more books that are both celebrations of inefficiency in their own right: Momo by Michael Ende (better known for writing The Neverending Story) which is about a young girl with the superpower of being very good at listening who fights mysterious time-stealing creatures with antimemetic powers, and Nothing To Grasp by Joan Tollifson which is a non-fiction book about non-dual insight that just celebrates everything that is, exactly how it is.
