ecological **awe**
The capacity for awe is such a wonderful property in a person. Like, I expect it has important connections to humility and curiosity..
what I don't know, is vast... Upside? There are constant serendipities of encounter. Like? Like:
"The study of the processes involved [in friction] is called tribology"
Tribology! Who knew? Ok. Ok.
Scopes of responsibility are (or ought to be) about (organizational) self-regulation… which is work.
Noting:
The real "human in the loop" would be for the assignment of accountability lol, I find it absolutely bananas how many traditionally risk averse organisations have embraced this stuff without meaningful guardrails, but I do believe the legal shit, compliance, risk management etc will be the thing that enforces some regulation of these practices rather than the quality or reliability of the output itself
That’s a dangerous misconception… (though widespread…)…
A more useful view: organizations have (intentional, to ensure attention) scopes of complexity and timespan of decision making
They are integration scopes. Scopes of responsibility, capability building, risk management, navigation and resilience.
They aren’t merely (resource and) information gates and conduits (though they may be used that way, as power moves)…
“he [Dorsey] argued that corporate hierarchy has always existed to solve one problem — routing information through organizations too large for any single person to oversee — and that AI now does that job better than people do.”

“And yet, the public conversation around them has been quiet to the point of being strange. This is a curious observation more than a complaint. And the goal of what follows is to gather the events into one place, cite the publications that reported each one, and then ask, gently, why the period feels so undocumented in real time.”
