How can democratic decisions be smarter than the median voter? Beyond Arrow's paradox. Building @Anode_GG.

[Raphael Spannocchi @raphbaph]

The true test of any organizational paradigm or collective consensus building effort is this:

Does it make the whole more intelligent than the one, or less?

Do people get better when interacting with the system? Or worse?

It's really that simple, and that hard.

@PaulFrambot Or how much you can accept yourself and enter into the alchemy of pain becoming strength, fear courage and sadness presence

@citrini Just how bad is the oil supply issue. People have been saying it's doomsday in April, then May, now it's June.

What gives?

@heckerhut @christianreber marginal voter makes the decision worse. typo. sorry

[Raphael Spannocchi @raphbaph]

Where I agree is that representative democracy has three inherent game theoretical weaknesses:

1.) Only stakeholders should vote or the marginal voter makes the desired worse. Voting is also divisive so less is more

2.) Representatives quickly become a parasitic caste that mostly revolves around itself.

3.) Representatives have no incentive to deal with real issues, because the get elected on representation. Hence a talking class

There's no mitigation here.

You need longer time horizon, tigher accountability feedback loops with real liabilities and finally much less participation from non stakeholders.

Decision makers must be affected by the outcomes of their decisions.

It's not rocket science

Why Fiat sucks. Exhibit 123,536

My "bank" froze my account for indeterminate reasons before sending out my office rent.

CROPS fixes this.

[Raphael Spannocchi @raphbaph]

Quite refreshing to see business SaaS software engineering, likely the most pampered and jaded of professions, embrace the "virtues" of Taylorism.

I advise to introduce other punishing qualitative metrics next.

Lines of code per hour comes to mind.

It's also clear what's next.

Reduced hours were mostly introduced because they *increased output* and quality.

A huge car manufacturer switched to 32hr week once and found the offset from recalls avoided and repairs they didn't have to pay more than made up for the personell cost.

@TurnerNovak He meana pacific heights I guess lol

[Jeffrey Snover @jsnover]

In my Harvard fellowship I study the views of AI accelerationists, safetyists and skeptics.

What I have come to realize is that both the Accelerationists and the Safetyists believe that we are creating an AI God.

The difference is that Accelerationists believe that it is the god of the New testament.
A god of loving kindness.

The Safetyists believe that it is the god of the Old testament.
The jealous one who told Abraham to kill his son, destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, and killed everybody in the flood.

The Skeptics think it's just a damn toaster with more knobs.

@mmjukic pretty obvious no? "politics happens at the end of a gun"

The amazing thing about the Luce is that LoveFrom did a 5 book design history study on Ferrari to design a car that isn't recognizable as a Ferrari.
