One of the best analysis about the HCI paradigm shift AI is bringing.
UI and UX flows have been for decades the device to intercept users intention and guide them to the outcome. Now the AI just needs a simple request. But itβs not so easy. A must watch.

Probably I'm late in the game, but I had to upgrade to macOS Tahoe and I really hate Liquid Glass UI on the MacBook.
It's a huge UX downgrade, crippled by many naive design mistakes. A bad move on Apple's part which has accustomed us to different standards.

Building a software user experience that can actually meet consumer expectations is much harder than many tech people think. Unfortunately, a lot of FOSS is simply not ready for the consumer experience.
Maybe @jenson.org has a different opinion.

Not so fast: it seems that most of Moltbook users are fake, managed by the founders.
Now we have humans faking bots.

ChatGPT daily users are in decline, while Google is gaining ground after the release of Gemini 3.
This is not a surprise. Google has a broad consumer digital ecosystem ready to integrate its AI tools, while OpenAI is still a chatbot.

Every other day, I see a new essay by someone disillusioned by Apple.
The themes are consistent. The sycophantic support of the Trump administration. UI design now violates principles they invented. Anti-competitive and predatory actions in the pursuit of revenue.

Moltbook is a social platform for AI agents (based on Moltbot).
It's probably one of the most interesting things on the internet today. It looks like something out of a cyberpunk novel from the '90s, including the graphic style. Amazing.

AI is now coming for white-collar workers in the finance and creative industries. British business reported an average 11% productivity increase.
Europe needs its own AI industry not only to be independent but also for the new jobs created by the technology.

Software subscriptions business models too often rely on UX Dark Patterns. Their success is based on exploiting users cognitive biases, lock-in effects, misleading interfaces, dead loops, confusing opt-out options, and barriers to cancellation.
A/B testing is the weapon that makes all this possible.
Apple is now officially a competitor of Adobe, and not only in the creative industry but also in the extractive subscription-based business model.

The business Impact of UX is not just about delighted users.
The impact of UX is visible in every step of the product experience:
- Engage: easy discovery & acquisition
- Convert: smooth activation & transaction
- Adopt: continuous use & habit formation
- Retain: loyalty, expansion & lifetime value
Interesting thread. The "ROI of UX" question has different meanings. It can refer to the actual product experience or the name of a team.
If you understand that Investing in a good UX for your product is essential for your business success, so you need a team of experts to make this happen.
Amazingly, reaction times using screens while driving are worse than being drunk or highβno wonder 90 percent of drivers hate using touchscreens in cars. Finally the auto industry is coming to its senses.

"scientific evidence increasingly points to touchscreens compromising our [automobile] safety"
As a UX designer, this has been one of my loudest rants. Large off-center touch screens are bad for drivers and bad for driving.
Very interesting visual design language for AI behavior.

Customer-centric organizations don't just talk about customers. They understand them.
With numbers and dashboards you are not customer-centric: you're metrics-centric.
Experience mapping is a key tool to understand the actual customer experience, even with AI.

Product Managers tend to focus on their product and delivery, that is part of a system. Design can deal with the broader user experience, solving integration and systemic problems and developing strategic product visions.

The death of smartphones has been announced many times. Each time we talk about technology not user experience.
Smartphones will not be easily replaced because they have a screen, which is the strongest and most addictive part of their UX.
They wonβt be replaced by a wearable without a screen.
AI paradoxes. Some jobs are being automated while others are enhanced, especially those requiring complex problem-solving, interpersonal skills, and creativity.
Demand for human-centric skills may be increasing as AI adoption grows.

The growing perception is that AI innovation will only benefit the technological oligarchy, a handful of ultra-billionaires, accelerating the polarisation of wealth and inequality, pushing the middle class into the same spiral of social and economic decline already seen among blue-collar workers.

Even those in apical and creative roles are beginning to feel vulnerable and concerned about their future. This is triggering a convergence of fear and demands between social classes that were previously distant.
