“Mistakenly, we thought that by just introducing artificial intelligence and ingesting the design requirements that we had, that that would produce a high-quality product.” How Ford replaced hundreds of engineers with AI, which broke a bunch of shit causing billions in damage and forcing them to rehire those people: https://www.the-independent.com/tech/ford-ai-automation-human-workers-b3003787.html #workforce #AIDisplacement #AIReplacement #jobMarket #hiring #productivity #beliefs #governance

The EU report is detailed and gives an impression that a 3°C planet would be harsh but manageable under the same institutions. The report does not wonder about unknown unknowns. It does not address supply-chain disruption, financial contagion or people displacement. It lives in a fancy Fortress Europe. The report also never mentions #AMOC once, even as the evidence for the risk of its collapse to Europe hardens and Iceland starts treating it as a national security threat: https://mas.to/@maugendre/111917327688619004 🧵 #climatePolicy #adaptation #climateChange #livability #policy #climate #futures #EUPol #Europe #risks #riskAssessment

#Adaptation gets treated as technical work when it's extremely political. Someone decides which communities are defended, which regions are given up, and who pays. France's mega-basin enforcers show how such centralization triggers organised resistance: https://climatejustice.social/@breton/112934411029720286 Whatever gets planned has to be delivered inside worsening instability. Budgets raided by the latest emergency, civil services running on depleted trust, supply chains competing against reconstruction elsewhere. Researchers call this derailment risk, and every plan should account for it: https://scri.org.uk/publications/report-derailment-risk … #climatePolicy #adaptation #climateChange #livability #policy #climate #riskAssessment #derailment #climateEmergency #agriculture

"For activists in France, mega-basins have become a symbol of how the government is adapting to climate change in precisely the wrong way. In response to intensifying droughts, French authorities have carved giant water storage systems into the countryside for large farms to draw down in dry months. Critics say these mega-basins—which can hold up to 720 million liters, the equivalent of nearly 300 Olympic-sized swimming pools—are effectively hoarding water, reserving it for private landowners, leaving rivers parched and local groundwater systems depleted." by Morgan Meaker at @WIRED@press.coop: https://www.wired.com/story/climate-activism-radical-new-face-lena-lazare/ @climate@a.gup.pe ⏚ #climate #sabotage #climateCrisis #mitigation #activism #Wired #MorganMeaker #France #megaBasins #megaBassines #water #agriculture #climateMitigation #LénaLazare #LesSoulèvementsDeLaTerre #SoulèvementsDeLaTerre #FrenchPolitics #FRPol #disarming #disarmament #reservoirs #property

… The EU's adaptation framework serves as a distraction. The cover for treating adaptation as purely technical is thinner than it has been in years. This summer ongoing disasters offer an opening to:

  • discuss adaptation;
  • look at the perpetrators: https://fed.brid.gy/r/https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:ghfylraepxvzz7zjex4nelzw/post/3msbmrpwlhc2v

References

The present thread was inspired by two other voices about the same technocratic output: http://strategicclimaterisks.substack.com/p/how-the-eu-adaptation-framework-vastly

Here is the announcement of the report from the European Scientific Advisory Board on Climate Change, 'Strengthening resilience to climate change – Recommendations for an effective EU adaptation policy framework': https://climate-advisory-board.europa.eu/news/escalating-climate-impacts-demand-urgent-coordinated-adaptation-across-the-eu

"Using a unique cross-national video dataset from the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, and South Africa (N = 219), we show that in 9 of 10 public conflicts, at least 1 bystander, but typically several, will do something to help. We record similar likelihoods of intervention across the 3 national contexts, which differ greatly in levels of perceived public safety. Finally, we find that increased bystander presence is related to a greater likelihood that someone will intervene. "

@yaelwrites In academia, people who did a lot of work should be included even if their work was mostly background research. White males stand a better chance at this game. Here is a university guide: https://grad.uw.edu/advice/collaborating-and-co-authoring/ Previous research that was used must be "cited" (in a "References" section at bottom). The recent inflation in author numbers might be due to the funders forcing project submissions which acceptance in turn depends on renown. @btdorn

"The emphasis on human oversight as a protective mechanism allows governments and vendors to have it both ways: they can promote an algorithm by proclaiming how its capabilities exceed those of humans, while simultaneously defending the algorithm and those responsible for it from scrutiny by pointing to the security (supposedly) provided by human oversight."

"Nobody owes anybody a job. The only reason anyone has one is because there was a problem at some point in that business that required a human to do some part of the work. Building on that, if that ever becomes not the case, for a particular person or team or department of human employees, the natural next action is to get rid of them."

#federatedNotDecentralized
This space does not have one provider. It was designed for many #servers to participate: @neocartocnrs@observablehq.com
I moved from an instance with #moderation issues. You should too.
What is a good size? You may reverse the question: a good #neighbourhood council takes decisions to scale or to limit growth.
I invite you to try another account and pick an instance of reasonable size: https://mastodon.help/instances/en?lang=112&desc=&minu=111&maxu=8000&minau=111&minki=800&black=1&creg=1&appr=0&lcok=0&ord=rand&advc=1&p=1

About the Wyandotte people (traditional: Waⁿdát): "Prisoner sacrifice was not merely about reinforcing the solidarity of the group but also proclaimed the internal sanctity of the #family and the domestic realms as spaces of the female governance where #violence, politics and rule by command did not belong. Wendat households, in other words, were defined in exactly opposite terms to the Roman familia." from #DawnOfEverything by #Graeber and #Wengrow.

#AI systems accelerate the pace of war. "AI can contribute to mis- or disinformation, creating and amplifying dangerous misunderstandings in times of war. AI systems may increase the human tendency to trust suggestions from machines (this is highlighted by the Habsora system, named after the infallible word of God)". "If a person has enough similarities to other people labelled as an enemy combatant, they too may be labelled a combatant themselves." https://theconversation.com/israels-ai-can-produce-100-bombing-targets-a-day-in-gaza-is-this-the-future-of-war-219302 @ethics@a.gup.pe @ai@a.gup.pe #warfare

Hi #MastoAdmin folks and cooperative fellows,
Sorry for the late answer.
I certainly am happy with our consensus, in this cooperative #neighbourhood.
(I try to show no "reason" and i have a personal problem with the verb "should".)

I advocate for people and - in our case - #FediCollectives to ❤️#learn about what they are doing.
I tried a #longThread contribution there: @eric@social.coop #MastodonBoughs

@Talia@mstdn.social I can feel the use of the word ‘activist’ with the phrase ‘brand strategy report’ 😄. I have come to accept that neurotypical people push how they wish to appear; depending on the environment they get by. @markhburton@mstdn.social
