## Every claim under this term

3 claims across 3 works, 2018 to 2024.

**2018**

- [3128900-004](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/3128900-004) [failure/evidenced] *(failure mode)* -- Micro task platform systems carry significant limitations that hold back the evolution of AI itself, so platform design is a bottleneck on AI progress rather than a peripheral concern.
  > But alas, microtasks platform systems are subject to significant limitations that inhibit the evolution of AI.

**2021**

- [3782192-006](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/3782192-006) [failure/argued] *(failure mode)* -- Concentrating too much power in any single office of a hierarchy creates a decision making bottleneck that can cripple the organization, so the tree structure that is optimal for transmitting orders downward is also its point of paralysis.
  > However, if too much power is held in any single office in the hierarchy, de- cision making finds a bottleneck that can cripple the organization.

**2024**

- [4734750-032](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/4734750-032) [failure/argued] *(failure mode)* -- Because AI progress depends on labeled data from micro task work, the significant limitations of existing micro task platform systems act as a direct constraint on the evolution of AI.
  > But alas, microtasks platform systems are subject to significant limitations that inhibit the evolution of AI.
