The thing most companies are missing is to design the AI experience. What happens when it fails? Are we making options available for those who want a standard experience? Do we even have an elegant feedback loop to mark when it fails? Are we accounting for different pitches and accents? How about speech impediments?

I’m a designer focusing on AI, but a lot of companies haven’t even realized they need a designer for this. It’s like we’re the conscience of tech, and listened to about as often.

We could always go back to html chats. Hotelchat, Webmaze…

Haha. Marriage is just the beginning. Not anywhere close to actualization. And if you have kids, you’ll realize you’re still at the beginning.

Communist West Germany? You mean East Germany?

Because I lived there when the Wall came down, and I can tell you based on the huge influx of Eastern Germans who had floorboards you could see through that quality was not a priority.

I think it’s more that they are trying to solve the problem by changing the dev team processes, when the biggest factor of success is developing the RIGHT thing. But since most tech managers have risen up from the ranks of devs, and they have a hard time understanding that other people have valuable skills they don’t, they have no idea how to hire good designers and refuse to listen to them when they happen to get one.

Vegans who actually believe what they preach spend more time on education and less on shaming or meaningless memes.

This is just posturing.

Let me put it this way, with an imperfect analogy. If you poison the water supply, it doesn’t matter how many people drink from it. They all die.

In school. But I’m sure you could gather the essentials from the internet.

That’s not how any of this works. Did you never take reproductive anatomy?

Wilbur was the pig. Babe is a different movie.

You should read Otherland by Tad Williams if you like that kind of thing.

I used to think I was stupid, but then Trump and Covid happened and I realized I’m relatively brilliant.

Never attribute to reasoning that which can be explained by laziness.

Unless it’s an abortion. They don’t mean that kind of freedom.

Right?

I mean, you teach yourself to drink something that tastes rotten. It impairs your ability to think and accomplish basic tasks. It increases your risk for legal trouble. It can make you vomit and sick the next day. It damages your internal organs, and it costs a ton. Finally, it traps you into needing it.

Yet, it’s the people who DON’T do it who are weird?
