American entrepreneurs have long fixated on extracting the maximum economic value out of well really any resource they can get their hands on ーfrom Henry Ford s assembly line to Tony Hsieh s Zappos Happiness Experience Form The same is true in the public sector where some overambitious streamlining of Texas power grid contributed to the state s massive winter power crisis that killed more than people In her new book the riveting Optimal Illusions The False Promise of Optimization UC Berkeley applied mathematician and author Coco Krumme explores our historical fascination with optimization and how that pursuit has often led to unexpected and unwanted consequences in the systems we re streamlining nbsp In the excerpt below Krumme explores the recent resurgence of interest in Universal Basic or Guaranteed Income and the contrasting approaches to providing UBI between tech evangelists like Sam Altman and Andrew Yang and social workers like Aisha Nyandoro founder of the Magnolia Mother s Trust in how to address the difficult questions of deciding who should receive the financial support and how much Riverhead BooksExcerpted from Optimal Illusions The False Promise of Optimization by Coco Krumme Published by Riverhead Books Copyright by Coco Krumme All rights reserved False GodsCalifornia they say is where the highway ends and dreams come home to roost When they say these things their eyes ignite startup riches infinity pools the Hollywood hills The last thing on their minds of course is the town of Stockton Drive east from San Francisco and if traffic cooperates you ll be there in an hour and a half or two over the long span of slate colored bay past the hulking loaders at Oakland s port skirting rich suburbs and sweltering orchards and the government labs in Livermore the military depot in Tracy all the way to where brackish bay waters meet the San Joaquin River where the east west highways connect with Interstate in a tangled web of introductions that ultimately pitches you either north toward Seattle or south to LA Or you might decide to stay in Stockton spend the night There s a slew of motels along the interstate La Quinta Days Inn Motel Breakfast at Denny s or IHOP Stockton once had its place in the limelight as a booming gold rush supply point In the city filed for bankruptcy the largest US city until then to do so Detroit soon bested it in First light reveals a town that s neither particularly rich nor desperately poor hitched taut between cosmopolitan San Francisco on one side and the agricultural central valley on the other in the middle indistinct suburban and a little sad This isn t how the story was supposed to go Optimization was supposed to be the recipe for a more perfect society When John Stuart Mill aimed for the greater good when Allen Gilmer struck out to map new pockets of oil when Stan Ulam harnessed a supercomputer to tally possibilities it was in service of doing more and better with less Greater efficiency was meant to be an equilibrating force We weren t supposed to have big winners and even bigger losers We weren t supposed to have a whole sprawl of suburbs stuck in the declining middle We saw how overwrought optimizations can suddenly fail and the breakdown of optimization as the default way of seeing the world can come about equally fast What we face now is a disconnect between the continued promises of efficiency the idea that we can optimize into perpetuity and the reality all around the imperfect world the overbooked schedules the delayed flights the institutions in decline And we confront the question How can we square what optimization promised with what it s delivered Sam Altman has the answer In his mid thirties with the wiry frenetic look of a college student he s a young man with many answers Sam s biography reads like a leaderboard of Silicon Valley tropes and accolades an entrepreneur upper middle class upbringing prep school Stanford Computer Science student Stanford Computer Science dropout where dropping out is one of the Valley s top status symbols In Sam was named a Forbes magazine top investor under age thirty That anyone bothers to make a list of investors in their teens and twenties says as much about Silicon Valley as about the nominees Tech thrives on stories of overnight riches and the mythos of the boy genius Sam is the CEO and cofounder along with electric car and rocket ship magnate Elon Musk of OpenAI a company whose mission is to ensure that artificial general intelligence benefits all of humanity He is the former president of the Valley s top startup incubator Y Combinator was interim CEO of Reddit and is currently chairman of the board of two nuclear energy companies Helion and Okto His latest venture Worldcoin aims to scan people s eyeballs in exchange for cryptocurrency As of the company had raised million of funding from Silicon Valley investors But Sam doesn t rest on or even mention his laurels In conversation he is smart curious and kind and you can easily tell through his veneer of demure agreeableness that he s driven as hell By way of introduction to what he s passionate about Sam describes how he used a spreadsheet to determine the seven or so domains in which he could make the greatest impact based on weighing factors such as his own skills and resources against the world s needs Sam readily admits he can t read emotions well treats most conversations as logic puzzles and not only wants to save the world but believes the world s salvation is well within reach A profile in The New Yorker sums up Sam like this His great weakness is his utter lack of interest in ineffective people Sam has however taken an interest in Stockton California Stockton is the site of one of the most publicized experiments in Universal Basic Income UBI a policy proposal that grants recipients a fixed stipend with no qualifications and no strings attached The promise of UBI is to give cash to those who need it most and to minimize the red tape and special interests that can muck up more complex redistribution schemes On Sam s spreadsheet of areas where he d have impact UBI made the cut and he dedicated funding for a group of analysts to study its effects in six cities around the country While he s not directly involved in Stockton he s watching closely The Stockton Economic Empowerment Demonstration was initially championed by another tech wunderkind Facebook cofounder Chris Hughes The project gave families per month for twenty four months A slew of metrics was collected in order to establish a causal relationship between the money and better outcomes UBI is nothing new The concept of a guaranteed stipend has been suggested by leaders from Napoleon to Martin Luther King Jr The contemporary American conception of UBI however has been around just a handful of years marrying a utilitarian notion of societal perfectibility with a modern day faith in technology and experimental economics Indeed economists were among the first to suggest the idea of a fixed stipend first in the context of the developing world and now in America Esther Duflo a creative star in the field and Nobel Prize winner is known for her experiments with microloans in poorer nations She s also unromantic about her discipline embracing the concept of economist as plumber Duflo argues that the purpose of economics is not grand theories so much as on the ground empiricism Following her lead the contemporary argument for UBI owes less to a framework of virtue and charity and much more to the cold language of an econ textbook Its benefits are described in terms of optimizing resources reducing inequality and thereby maximizing societal payoff The UBI experiments under way in several cities a handful of them funded by Sam s organization have data collection methods primed for a top tier academic publication Like any good empiricist Sam spells out his own research questions to me and the data he s collecting to test and analyze those hypotheses Several thousand miles from Sam s Bay Area office a different kind of program is in the works When we speak by phone Aisha Nyandoro bucks a little at my naive characterization of her work as UBI We don t call it universal basic income she says We call it guaranteed income It s targeted Invested intentionally in those discriminated against Aisha is the powerhouse founder of the Magnolia Mother s Trust a program that gives a monthly stipend to single Black mothers in Jackson Mississippi The project grew out of her seeing the welfare system fail miserably for the very people it purported to help The social safety net is designed to keep families from rising up Keep them teetering on edge It s punitive paternalism The safety net that strangles Bureaucracy is dehumanizing Aisha says because it asks a person to prove you re enough to receive even the most basic of assistance Magnolia Mother s Trust is unique in that it is targeted at a specific population Aisha reels off facts The majority of low income women in Jackson are also mothers In the state of Mississippi one in four children live in poverty and women of color earn percent of what white men make Those inequalities affect the community as a whole In the trust gave per month to one hundred women While she s happy her program is gaining exposure as more people pay attention to UBI Aisha doesn t mince words I have to be very explicit in naming race as an issue she says Aisha s goal is to grow the program and provide cash without qualifications to more mothers in Jackson Magnolia Mother s Trust was started around the same time as the Stockton project and the nomenclature of guaranteed income has gained traction One mother in the program writes in an article in Ms magazine Now everyone is talking about guaranteed income and it started here in Jackson Whether or not it all traces back to Jackson whether the money is guaranteed and targeted or more broadly distributed what s undeniable is that everyone seems to be talking about UBI Influential figures primarily in tech and politics have piled on to the idea Jack Dorsey the billionaire founder of Twitter with his droopy meditation eyes and guru beard wants in In he donated million to experimental efforts in thirty US cities And perhaps the loudest bullhorn for the idea has been wielded by Andrew Yang another product of Silicon Valley and a US presidential candidate Yang is an earnest guy unabashedly dorky Numbers drive his straight talking policy Blue baseball caps for his campaign are emblazoned with one short word MATH UBI s proponents see the potential to simplify the currently convoluted American welfare system to equilibrate an uneven playing field By decoupling basic income from employment it could free some people up to pursue work that is meaningful And yet the concept despite its many proponents has managed to draw ire from both ends of the political spectrum Critics on the right see UBI as an extension of the welfare state as further interference into free markets Left leaning critics bemoan its inefficient distribution of resources Why should high earners get as much as those below the poverty line Why should struggling individuals get only just enough to keep them and the capitalist system afloat Detractors on both left and right default to the same language in their critiques that of efficiency and maximizing resources Indeed the language of UBI s critics is all too similar to the language of its proponents with its randomized control trials and its view of society as a closed economic system In the face of a disconnect between what optimization promised and what it delivered the proposed solution involves more optimizing Why is this What if we were to evaluate something like UBI outside the language of efficiency We might ask a few questions differently What if we relaxed the suggestion that dollars can be transformed by some or another equation into individual or societal utility What if we went further than that and relaxed the suggestion of measuring at all as a means of determining the best policy What if we put down our calculators for a moment and let go of the idea that politics is meant to engineer an optimal society in the first place Would total anarchy ensue Such questions are difficult to ask because they don t sound like they re getting us anywhere It s much easier and more common to tackle the problem head on Electric vehicle networks such as Tesla s billed as an alternative to the centralized oil economy seek to optimize where charging stations are placed how batteries are created how software updates are sent out ーand by extension how environmental outcomes take shape Vitamins fill the place of nutrients leached out of foods by agriculture s maximization of yields these vitamins promise to optimize health Vertical urban farming also purports to solve the problems of industrial agriculture by introducing new optimizations in how light and fertilizers are delivered to greenhouse plants run on technology platforms developed by giants such as SAP A breathless Forbes article explains that the result of hydroponics is that more people can be fed less precious natural resources are used and the produce is healthier and more flavorful The article nods only briefly to downsides such as high energy labor and transportation costs It doesn t mention that many grains don t lend themselves easily to indoor farming nor the limitations of synthetic fertilizers in place of natural regeneration of soil In working to counteract the shortcomings of optimization have we only embedded ourselves deeper For all the talk of decentralized digital currencies and local maker economies are we in fact more connected and centralized than ever And less free insofar as we re tied into platforms such as Amazon and Airbnb and Etsy Does our lack of freedom run deeper still by dint of the fact that fewer and fewer of us know exactly what the algorithms driving these technologies do as more and more of us depend on them Do these attempts to deoptimize in fact entrench the idea of optimization further A novel by Kurt Vonnegut highlights the temptation and also the threat of de optimizing Player Piano describes a mechanized society in which the need for human labor has mostly been eliminated The remaining workers are those engineers and managers whose purpose is to keep the machines online The core drama takes place at a factory hub called Ilium Works where Efficiency Economy and Quality reign supreme The book is prescient in anticipating some of our current angst ーand powerlessness ーabout optimization s reach Paul Proteus is the thirty five year old factory manager of the Ilium Works His father served in the same capacity and like him Paul is one day expected to take over as leader of the National Manufacturing Council Each role at Ilium is identified by a number such as R or EC Paul s job is to oversee the machines At the time of the book s publication Vonnegut was a young author disillusioned by his experiences in World War II and disheartened as an engineering manager at General Electric Ilium Works is a not so thinly veiled version of GE As the novel wears on Paul tries to free himself to protest that the main business of humanity is to do a good job of being human beings not to serve as appendages to machines institutions and systems He seeks out the elusive Ghost Shirt Society with its conspiracies to break automation he attempts to restore an old homestead with his wife He tries in other words to organize a way out of the mechanized world His attempts prove to be in vain Paul fails and ends up mired in dissatisfaction The machines take over riots ensue everything is destroyed And yet humans love of mechanization runs deep once the machines are destroyed the janitors and technicians ーa class on the fringes of society ーquickly scramble to build things up again Player Piano depicts the outcome of optimization as societal collapse and the collapse of meaning followed by the flimsy rebuilding of the automated world we know This article originally appeared on Engadget at | 2023-09-24 14:30:12 |
