Do not underestimate the scale of this climate crisis. We are watching feedback loops accelerate, ice sheet collapse, ocean heat content, methane release, that could lock in irreversible warming. We have all witnessed the data, and it is not slowing down.

I have to say that it seems like lots of AI power users are in the gamified machine zone — attracted by the constant attention of feedback loops, agnostic of what that feedback is. The casino has come for the minds of the C suite.

Really feels like the next phase for fermenting young hate is going to be addictive AI feedback loops trained on bigoted ideologies.
okay I am gonna stop posting screenshots in this thread after this because it feels like overkill but an AI saying "pass the mustache" in reference to Hitler is gonna stick in my brain for a while

WOLFE: “.. the potential for a vicious cycle between deficits and yields is getting increasingly concerning.
.. rising yields create a quite imminent risk of negative feedback loops with the deficit, because the risks on interest expense are skewed sharply to the upside ..”

you would not believe the number of people who tell me (a scientist who studies climate feedback loops) that we should despair about climate change because of climate feedback loops
Too many people on Bluesky think that relentless expressions of despair are a sign of intellectual sophistication.

There are negative feedback loops that exist with Fed interference that are NOT present or active elsewhere.

cooling human habitat takes less energy than heating human habitat, which is great because it’s one of the few climate change feedback loops that goes the good direction

🆕 Several Earth system components may be closer to destabilisation than previously thought. Crossing key temperature thresholds could trigger feedback loops, pushing the planet toward a “Hothouse Earth” trajectory. Study by @oregonstate.edu, @iiasa.ac.at & PIK: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

i think there is a very simple explanation for this, at least in 2026. the cultural apparatus orbiting around Trump lives in a world entirely governed by short feedback loops.

Cycles of political violence have been worse in our country; see the 1960s. But the way the violence will be amplified and escalated, most commonly by feedback loops like social media, gives me a real sense of dread.

Whenever someone smugly declares that THEIR spot on earth will be spared from climate change a whiteboard covered with feedback loops pops up in my head and a jingle starts humming: 🎶 ripples, non-linearities, migration, supply chains, novel pathogens, and resulting political instabilities 🎶

Audiences shape their leaders and leaders shape their audiences. Perhaps it's not one or the other, and instead it's the feedback loops b/w them — feedback loops that are hypercharged by our being super-connected in the internet-era — powering this terrifying turn here, & elsewhere around the world.
