Feedback is an essential element of #HumanCenteredDesign. There are many ways to incorporate #FeedbackLoops into your clinical workflows. Some are automated; some require human response ("Was this #CDS pop-up helpful?") All are important. https://hbr.org/2023/07/to-get-better-customer-data-build-feedback-loops-into-your-products

A fight against "AI" wouldn't be very glorious. You have to post more bs in the internet on known trusted sources and make it look like the right answer.

... 😅 ... Okay, more bs than usual and in a more destructive way for AI users.

... More than usual... 😅
#feedbackloops

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.

#FilterBubbles #EchoChambers #RabbitHoles #FeedbackLoops: "Because of these definitional and methodological issues, we propose shifting attention from filter bubbles, echo chambers, and rabbit holes to a different concept: feedback loops between humans and machines. This concept seems better defined, can be broken into falsifiable questions about each stage of the process, and might help us better coordinate research efforts to produce lasting insight."

"‘Everyone should be concerned’: Antarctic sea ice reaches lowest levels ever recorded - With the continent holding enough ice to raise sea levels by many metres if it was to melt, polar scientists are scrambling for answers - For 44 years, satellites have helped scientists track how much ice is floating on the ocean around Antarctica’s 18,000km coastline ... But across those four decades of satellite observations, there has never been less ice around the continent than there was last week ... “We are seeing less ice everywhere. It’s a circumpolar event. Hobbs and other scientists said the new record – the third time it’s been broken in six years – has started a scramble for answers among polar scientists.

The fate of #Antarctica – especially the ice on land – is important because the continent holds enough ice to raise sea levels by many metres if it was to melt ... “We are probably starting to see signs of significant warming and retreat of sea ice [in Antarctica]. To see it getting to these levels is definitely a concern because we have these potentially amplifying feedbacks.”

Many risky #FeedbackLoops amplify the need for #climate action

"Many risky feedback loops amplify the need for climate action" - Ripple, Wolf, Lenton et. al. write in the journal "One Earth" that "Ultimately, even relatively modest warming is expected to increase the risk that various climatic tipping points will be crossed—causing large changes in the future state of Earth’s climate system, thereby adding further amplifying feedbacks ... In the worst case long-term scenario, interactions among feedback loops could result in an irreversible drift away from the current state of Earth’s climate to a state that threatens habitability for humans and other life forms.
...
One of the main factors making climate change especially dangerous is the risk of amplifying climatic feedback loops. An amplifying, or positive, feedback on global warming is a process whereby an initial change that causes warming brings about another change that results in even more warming. Thus, it amplifies the effects of climate forcings—outside influences on the climate system such as changes in greenhouse gas concentrations. In part because of positive climate feedbacks, a very rapid drawdown in emissions will be required to limit future warming.

Scientists warn that many dangerous feedback loops make climate action more urgent

A new report warns of many risky #climate #FeedbackLoops and the need for action in both research and policy. Published in the journal One Earth on February 17, the report states that partly due to amplifying climate feedbacks, "a very rapid draw-down in #emissions will be required to limit future warming."

#ClimateEmergency

The interaction of powerful climate feedback loops that can accelerate warming are not well-represented in key climate models, Efforts to reduce emissions require even more urgency to avoid worst-case climate outcomes, the team reported.

“If amplifying feedbacks are strong enough, the result is likely tragic climate change moving beyond anything humans can control,” said co-author Bill Ripple.

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.

Spent quite a bit of today writing and @SystemsThinking with @marcevers . Third or so version, musing about a couple of #feedbackloops in #softwaredevelopment . At the end of the day, the #clickbait eluded us, so https://www.qwan.eu/2023/02/01/development-feedback-loops.html three feedback loops it is. Feedback welcome 😉

@OwenK

You're welcome. You are right that modified text would evade the watermark - but the filtering doesn't have to be just the statistical distribution of the generation process ... for larger text you could filter according to the perplexity of the text itself. Or put differently: accept only text to the training data that actually has something new to say.

What a radical idea: we might even apply such a filter to human discourse. Wouldn't that be nice 🙂

#ChatGPT #SentientSyllabus #feedbackLoops

What is the theoretical formalism and data structure for analyzing feedback loops that is the equivalent of how graph theory is to networks?

#complexsystems #complexityscience #feedbackloops #dynamics #networkscience

@markfoden @jessitron People have volition, yes, but they generally have little effect on the overall system without some understanding of the #FeedbackLoops currently in place.
