istg every tech guy wants their Steve Jobs iPhone announcement moment and the best any of them can do is "what if we tape the phone to your fridge?" "What if we tape it to your car?" "What if we tape it to a front door??"

I really think this kind of thing is a bad idea, because who wants to start a relationship *with a doctor’s office* by realizing the first thing that happened in that relationship is that they tried to trick you?
I went to make a doctor’s appointment today and got transferred to an AI “person” and I can’t overstate my revulsion when it fooled me for the first ten seconds, so that I was trying to be friendly and pleasant, and I realized it I was trying to be polite to a machine.

I have one case study that is less of a typical case study and more of a short story of trying to get designing code to work together.. hoping someone other than me finds it interesting lol

Almost accidentally tipped $115 on a grocery delivery which would've been ironic because I spent 20 minutes debating on what to order when everything is so expensive

there were multiple different countdown clocks until the Olsen twins turned 18

reddit had its infamous 'jailbait' community online until late 2011

all of this shit was just out in the open, it was awful
I feel like maybe it’s a function of everyone online being born in 2002 but I don’t think most people realize how openly and explicitly pedophilic american culture was until like… maybe 10 years ago
Someone found an mp3 of the creepy "Jailbait" song Olivia Nuzzi released when she was 16 🫣

What stands out to me about this report is the clear lack of support, mentorship and leadership from design managers.. seems like something worthy of it's own deep-dive

This is one of the worst, most horrifying exposures we have ever seen. It is hard to overstate how bad the things that people are using tools like for are, and it's insane to pretend like these tools are anything other than nonconsensual porn machines

It's so exhausting to deal with layoffs and unemployment during a time when companies and their leadership so obviously have no idea what they're doing

The content is still obviously delusional to anyone reading it. It’s just organised crazy. But the real danger is the internal effect on the user. The AI provides coherence and validation, stabilising the narrative they’re caught in.

LLMs give people with delusional belief systems a way to organise those beliefs. The model fills in gaps, supplies connective tissue, and wraps the madness in formal language.
It doesn't make the claims more credible to us, it just tidies them up.

Really enjoyed this post by @gerireid.com

It felt accurate for what I've experienced from designers coming to me with specs written by AI.

Designers may learn what they should include, but the specs tend to lack the contextual awareness or accuracy required.

Can AI write accessibility specs?
I wrote a prompt to help me write accessibility specs for components. Then had an existential crisis.

Keep thinking about how the HR person and my manager smiled at me after delivering the news that I was being made redundant

And just as I was literally getting ready to take my first "real" vacation in years

Ten or twenty years ago, if an executive came out and said "actually our products can't be trusted" the stock would take a nosedive rather than go up.
The casual way this techbro talks about the "error-prone" products they are throwing out into the world, the necessity for the consumer to accept, train for, and correct for these, and the impending economic chaos wrought by the frenzy they are creating as though it's normal and natural: holy hell.

So if the goal is photo realistic, why not use, well, photos? Why burn 2 acres of the Amazon to produce something that you claim will be indistinguishable from a photo?

lol, lmao

anyway all the rich assholes hang out — and none of them understand their own businesses or the economy either. none of them know how to sell things to people any more, only scams to investors and blinkers to shareholders.

that’s it, that’s the secret.
I don’t want to seem out of touch but I don’t actually understand the economy anymore.
