Autonomy in AI Agents: A Promise Theory Perspective

The concept of autonomy in artificial intelligence represents a fundamental shift from traditional command-and-control paradigms toward systems that operate with genuine self-direction and voluntary…

Jeg skal holde foredrag på #JavaZone i september: "Optimalisering av autonomi med Kubernetes og Tight–Loose–Tight". Vi tar en liten filosofisk avstikker for å forstå hva autonomi egentlig er – og ser hvordan dette kan omsettes i praksis med Kubernetes og moderne ledelsesmodeller.

Bonus question: why the Scrum guide does not seem to agree with this?

Should we retire Accountability & Commitment and find a better alternative?

Here is a possible answer taking inspiration from the Promise Theory, and some learning from Complexity-Thinking and Wardley Mapping

Using Promise Theory to solve the distributed consensus problem

Whenever we try to fix something in one corner of IT, we seem to yank another corner out of place and create new problems–trading one conundrum for another. Microservices are a perfect example of…

At the conference https://www.flowcon.io/ you'll also meet @ziobrando (DDD, ES) and @suksr (human orgs based on DDD, @TeamTopologies , and Wardley's maps), only @matthewskelton (TT) seems missing.
I see interesting hallway conversations coming.

FlowCon France - The conference around Flow

The conference about software product development flow mixing topics such as Kanban, Lean, Product, DDD

I'm speaking at FlowCon France in Paris 6-7 March, on how to make Accountability & Commitment work when creating Complex products & services. This is my session => https://flowcon2024.sched.com/event/1XmqU/should-we-retire-accountability-commitment-and-find-a-better-alternative

It is informed by Complexity-thinking and Promise Theory (for how distributed agents offer and consume services making and keeping or not promises).

Speaking of #PromiseTheory I ran across the "Cooperating With the Future" paper again yesterday. It's almost a decade old now.

It's not very interesting as cooperation science goes (IMO, YMMV, etc) because the outcome is so obviously predetermined from the experiment design. More a demonstration of an equilibrium that's already pretty well understood without the temporal angle. But OTOH it's a really *good* demonstration, and boy howdy is it relevant.

Cooperating with the future - Nature

An intergenerational cooperation game has been developed to study decision-making regarding resource use: when decisions about resource extraction were made individually the resource was rapidly depleted by a minority of defectors; the resource was sustainably maintained across generations, however, when decisions were made democratically by voting.
