The West went all in on swarm intelligence.

· Bits and Bobs 11/4/25
  • The West went all in on swarm intelligence.
    • "Just trust the swarm."
      • "Make the number go up."
    • But it optimizes not for what we want to want, but the short-term incentives.
    • The system has been hollowed out everywhere.
    • Now it's impossible for anyone to do anything other than shortcuts.
      • If you don't, you'll be left behind in the short term by people who do.
      • And no one will feel shame about taking the short cuts.
    • A compounding hollowing out.
