the whole shitshow is typical of a huge tulip-bulb clusterfuck spun up around a much smaller kernel of actual value by a bunch of sociopathic allistics too smart for their own good, and I’ll die on that hill. edit: or maybe I should’ve said, too smart for everyone else’s good, since swine of that type are always optimizing for their own yachts n’ lambos version of “success.” #AI #noAI #genAI #PerverseIncentives

#AI will never make people more productive
because as long as people are using AI, people are the bottleneck!
No, No, to improve productivity we need AI to make all the decisions and take humans out of the loop.
Only when AI makes decisions for AI, things will finally be more productive for AI.

Around two decades ago a friend asked me what I thought of SEO work, I called it was "morally bankrupt twiddling with no societal value." It astounds me to think of how many other tech " innovation " since have been even worse. #LineGoesUp #PerverseIncentives

CW: "perverse incentives" in appointment booking
If I recall correctly, it was Tony Blair's lot who altered the landscape to create the "everybody has to ring at 8" phenomenon.
They introduced measuring surgeries on what percentage of people were able to get an appointment within the next 24 hours. So then the surgeries started gaming the ratings, by eliminating or drastically reducing the ability to book an appointment which _wasn't_ within the next 24 hours.
I remember seeing TB on a talk show (maybe it was Question Time?) where somebody in the audience pointed this out, and he was like "oh oops, we didn't know".
Never mind the fact that for some people, it's _better_ to book an appointment a few days ahead! (e.g. for transport, or getting time off work, or because you need to bring somebody with you.)

Strava’s #geolocation causes yet another national security incident this week as bodyguards in #Sweden map their run performances for the world to admire.
This problem has happened before, with the #PerverseIncentives of the #gamification and #privacy permutations that violate the least-surprise #ux principle. Here’s how to turn these privacy leaks off: https://lifehacker.com/health/stravas-heatmap-privacy-problem

“One of the many problems with allowing user posts to be used for AI training is that companies want their products and brands to appear in chatbot results. Since Reddit forms a key part of the training material for Google’s AI, then one effective way to make that happen is to spam Reddit…in the hope that the content will be regurgitated by chatbots.”

I would suggest that trading spears for blankets is not "capitalism"; I see it as mutual aid.
Capitalism is financialized exploitation.succombing to #PerverseIncentives

We can;t access github but just what you describe is interesting. It would seem that #onlineGaming *itself* creates problems, or #perverseIncentives.
It's a shame, but expected, we suppose.

John Plender (FT) on the problem of CEO & top executives share-based 'incentive schemes:
Research (he discusses) has shown 'the bonus culture largely explains the decline in investment in the US & UK along with low productivity growth.
In a sane world CEO pay would be primarily in cash with equity used only for truly exceptional performance.... The astonishing failure of corporate governance & investor stewardship over executive pay will not be remedied any time soon'! -
