Pavel @spavel.bsky.social · 22/03/2025The unfortunate consequences of this magic spell approach to productivity is that, unlike fun, the outputs of a business function are consumed by a downstream step of the business process. Without someone able to understand whether the output is fit for purpose, any old garbage proceeds downstream. 31218
Pavel @spavel.bsky.social · 22/03/2025In D&D, the DM is the only source describing the state of the world, so players *must* find out the visible effects of their spell before the game can continue. That's not the case IRL. The state of the world is composed from different sources and metrics that update at different rates.6:19 PM · Mar 22, 2025 3862
Pavel @spavel.bsky.social · 22/03/2025When sources conflict, managers choose what data to use to construct into knowledge. And since listening to the downstream people is optional, "the magic wish machine works" becomes organizational knowledge. The outer system (delivery) must absorb the blow from the failure of the inner system.deadsimpletech.comWho has permission to know things? | deadSimpleTechWherein I delve a bit more into the details of epistemic injustice 2914
Naomi Clark (@metasynthie) 暗悪直美 @halfrobot.com · 22/03/2025↪ Replying to @spavel.bsky.socialWell, if you have a nice DM you find out before continuing. The real bastards just tell you that the wish succeeded (personal costs etc) and find some way or not revealing exactly how until later, if ever. Buys time. 010
