Reposted by Eva OgbeBaldur Bjarnason @baldurbjarnason.com · 30/09/2026Kind of amazed at all of the people who say "AI" made them better systems-thinkers when none of their analysis includes the models they rely on, let alone the cos that build them, or the finance that enables it all The whole point of "systems-thinking" is that the system is larger than the object. 1193

Eva Ogbe @evaogbe.bsky.social · 02/10/2026I think the AI policy question is a bit more complicated than that. Banning AI incentivizes people to lie about their AI use. It can't be fully enforced. Banning might still be the right move despite this. But the choice is between contributors using AI openly or covertly, not yes AI vs no AI 000
