Mark Levison"AI will make us faster!" 🤖🚀 Yay? 🤔 Or... are we building defects faster & creating fragile systems that collapse under pressure? Focusing only on speed is a trap.

Curtis McHaleThinking in Systems – Donella H Meadows Just a few pages into this book I was expecting a fairly dense book on the mechanics of systems thinking. In fact I assumed the first chapter was a warmup to deep hard to wrap my head around topics.

Thomas<a href="https://mastodon.world/@snoopy_jay" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@snoopy_jay</a> Sorry, I didn't notice your question 🙂 Mechanism is akin to tactics, "if this do that", drill, knee-jerk reaction, technology. Strategic thinking is about contemplating the lay of the land. Understanding and designing applicable cause-and-effect chains, resilience against things that we don't know, being an actor that researches what to want. In the political it's strategy "all the way down". In order to avoid an infinite regress one has to embrace complexity -> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/Systemthinking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Systemthinking</a>

Kent Pitman<a href="https://climatejustice.social/@breadandcircuses" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@breadandcircuses</a> Hmm. But ARE we making progress?I'm not doing a detailed dive on this, but at a quick glance this looks like confirmation of the fear I have mentioned in other rants lately (e.g., <a href="https://climatejustice.social/@kentpitman/112637295022020245" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://climatejustice.social/@kentpitman/112637295022020245</a>) about how much I dislike the idea of high tech "green" data centers because they represent what I'm calling an "opportunity cost" where the makers of the center could have used that tech to draw down fossil fuel use but instead they are increasing energy use and then greening up the extended use, leaving the same problem as before but less human energy available to solving the original problem because people are so busy patting themselves on the back for having solved an unrelated and unforced problem.I need a name for shorthanding this concern of mine, so I'm going to tentatively say these data centers, like like for Google and the like, especially for new AI work, are a "green mirage" since they create the look of green without making the world greener. That term seems to be already in use, I'm not sure if compatibly. If someone has a better name, let me know.But, from the article, we see the basis of why I'm thinking "green mirage" is a good term:«Energy Institute chief executive Nick Wayth told a pre-release press briefing…:“At the global level, today’s new data provides little encouragement in terms of global climate change mitigation. Clean energy is still not even meeting the entirety of demand growth and therefore at a global level not displacing fossil fuels. Arguably, the transition has not even started.”»The problem I'm worried about is most easily noted any time someone creates a new need/use for energy but then says "it's OK because it's green". This smug assumption that if my use is green, others must still do their part but I can rest, is just bogus and no one should be allowed to call it ethical. But, you say, I made my home green. How could that be unethical. Ah, well, I'm glad you asked. See my 2008 essay "Recycling Theater" (<a href="http://netsettlement.blogspot.com/2008/11/recycling-theater.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">http://netsettlement.blogspot.com/2008/11/recycling-theater.html</a>), where I only-partly-seriously suggest that personal recycling should be made illegal. TL;DR if you're not working to solve a systematic problem, and only to solve your own problem, you're wasting your energy on a one-off issue. People who want better recycling, better schools, better health care should have to solve the problem for everyone and then be part of that, not solve it for themselves and assume that others will do their part. Usually these smug people are the ones with the MOST energy and talent and money in society, so the ones remaining with less energy, talent, and money are NOT going to solve the rest.<a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/green" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#green</a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/GreenMirage" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GreenMirage</a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/climate" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#climate</a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/energy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#energy</a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/carbon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#carbon</a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/ClimateCrisis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ClimateCrisis</a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/FossilFuels" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FossilFuels</a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/SystemThinking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SystemThinking</a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/ethics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ethics</a>

David HaighDeming taught that it is the process, the system, not the people, that is where the problems are. I agree with that. But the bigger system - <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/capitalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#capitalism</a> - begs to differ.
