#maladaptation: Though the #city of Los Angeles claims to be working hard to address its #houselessness #crisis, organizations that work with the unhoused say the city has not figured out how to adequately respond to #extremeweather, creating a #feedbackloop where houseless #residents fall deeper into crisis with every storm.

#SearchEngines leverage the wisdom of crowds by prioritizing content that appears to have social proof in the form of #backlinks. #AI companies also seek sources that appear to be credible in order to train their #ArtificialIntelligence tools. Deceptive #ReputationManagement companies create fake backlinks to satisfy clients, who may be cleansing a poor reputation they've rightfully earned. With #ChatGPT, these companies can rapidly create a #FeedbackLoop of #disinformation for #AI and #Search.

What exactly is a self-fulfilling prophecy?
What exactly is wrong with self-fulfilling prophecies?
What is the connection between self-fulfilling prophecies and feedback loops?
What are the implications for the ethics of automated prediction?

My article on self-fulfilling prophecies, co-authored with Mayli Mertens, just came out in Ethical Theory and Moral Practice:

If you're generating content with ChatGPT, please do not put that content somewhere that might be used for training future models!

Or, at the very least, please be sure to annotate the generated content as being artificially generated.

If you're worried about the consequences of advances in AI, then worry about the feedback loops. We're at a point where we all potentially become complicit.

I take video calls so rarely now that I am distracted for twenty minutes before and an hour afterward. This makes me less like take video calls. #FeedbackLoop

This is this wonderful feedback loop by Kenny Hunter. I think this is perhaps one of my favorites of his work and hope to visit more.

I can't remember when / if I read it somewhere, but it's occurring to me that maybe the entire phenomenon of #Twitter / #SocialMedia and going #viral was all driven by capitalistic top-down entities and was always kind of reckless to begin with.

The other notable folks with interest in things going viral of course are journalists.

And of course the maturity of dynamic recommendations (#FeedbackLoop) also messed us up, but this notion of going "viral" is at the heart of the problem I think.

I'm actively working on a side project where I want to capture my experience as a software engineer/architect and engineer leader.

Why?

Because something is missing in our industry for those, like myself, that are generalists looking for the big picture.

I don't think the current tooling helps people that need to look at the product from the big picture or 4000m high view.

Most of them help to look at team level. There's a lot of tooling, with different approaches, for teams but very few for leaders or software engineers that need to look at the system as a whole.

And I'm not talking about microservices, I'm talking about everything else that we need to take into account in our day to day decision making but we _lack the proper tooling for fast feedback loops_.

I want to make informed decisions and know the impact of them ASAP. I'm tired of seeing the outcome of very critical decisions months later, we should be operating on faster feedback loops.

Our teammates and organization deserve learning faster on those decisions that impact them as they put their trust and effort in us.

The sordid link between #politicians and #construction and how a #financial #feedbackLoop is generated between the two is an important take-away from the interview.

The #constructionIndustry often depends on a kind of #corruption or #collusion.

It goes back to how #NewYork itself was largely built with #Mafia connections, and their ability to #exploitMigrantLabour. This collision continues into today and is why #democracy in #planning is so important.

Thanks #DavidGraeber, great #interview!
