The new Ofsted regime was implemented nationwide in about a year. And it looks like it is making worse the problems that it was designed to fix.
I’m not even slightly surprised: it’s what happens in complexity.
Proceed by experiment
#complexity
The concept of an #AIkillswitch, a mechanism to shut down #AIsystems, is being debated as concerns about AI’s potential risks grow. While some argue it’s too late to implement such a solution due to AI’s #complexity and #unpredictability, others believe it could be effective with careful design and…
An interesting but about an unsusual topic #TEDTalk: "The art and science of wine tasting" (www.ted.com/talks/qian_j...) by @rbrainengineer.bsky.social #Wine #Tasting #Complexity
#Language of #wine: #tannic, #oaky, #mineral, #buttery, #jammy, #earthy. apparently ‘tastes like #grapes’ isn’t enough. Learn a few terms & suddenly you’re not #drinking you’re #detecting notes of #cassis, wet #stone and existential #complexity. Same wine, upgraded #vocabulary
And those ecosystems are intricated/intertwined networks of complex interactions... this is several order of magnitude desner in complexity; they simply cannot grasp: out of their current intellectual reach

One more banger defending the necessity of the higher-order interactions:
"Yet reducibility does not necessarily imply simplification, as information removed from the interaction structure may reappear as complexity in the effective dynamics..."

Kuhle Dube serves as an #SDG Contributor, #digital #rights & youth activist. This week, she discusses how an inability to hold #complexity is rooted in the fear of losing personal #identity.

Want to teach Big-O notation without the eye-rolls?
Have students guess how long searching a phone book takes if it doubles in size.
THE BELL CURVE AND THE TAIL
The bell curve was never the mistake.
Forgetting its assumptions was.
Markets react. Relationships change. The distribution does not sit still.
My conversation wtih Greg Lablanc at the unSILOed podcast is now online. Among other things we dicuss why complexity science has not displaced mainstream economics and how we can better understand complex economic systems
