Hype is a business tool. Too many #UX folk don't know about the Gartner Hype cycle. Even those that do don't understand how it's being used to manipulate us, making our discussion of #genAI so complicated and scary. This is my attempt to calm things down a bit.

like there are some roads in tokyo and other
major cities that these cars can physically drive on, good luck finding a parking space

it’s actually so funny to imagine a single one of these trying to drive down any japanese road

okay i am adding this to the list next time im in nyc because i crush trivia

"they needed to hire multiple studios to do what the AI promised to do but was completely unable to perform, and are keeping it hidden from the public" is the real story here

like what are we doing at this point

omg i didn’t notice they made it over here from X lol

very proud to have been one of those in the digital services revolution, getting to work on healthcare.gov 💖

We’ve discovered a literal miracle with almost unlimited potential and it’s being scrapped for *no reason whatsoever*. This isn’t even nihilism, it’s outright worship of death and human suffering.

i cannot wait for the video of this tbh

When I saw the email that the kickstarter was live I stopped what I was doing at work to donate. If you have the means to do so, even if it’s a couple bucks, please consider helping out this talented Indie filmmaker! Always support indie and queer creators 🩵

i am very excited to watch it and i know that i will cry sooooo much

I very much sympathize with how globalization and oligarchy collude to exploit rural people, and it’s true that Appalachia has had it worse than most. But in response I provide just that: sympathy, not animosity. I think it’s fair to demand the same in return. (6/6)

Newsom will not be able to win national office, no matter how many marginalized groups he throws under the bus. Cross him off the list now so it doesn’t come down to him as the presidential nominee. We can and should do better!

i think it gets sooooooo much better in season 2!

truly one of our greatest posters

saw the fantastic four! i think it might be my favorite marvel movie visually in a very long time. the cgi felt more moderate than recent movies & i loved the robot

I’m so sorry John 😔 I texted the photo to all my friends groups in the mission, I hope she’s found soon 💕💕

Lost dog in SF. If spotted text John 8572340177 or call animal control 4155546364. Very shy. Do not chase! Dog pictured is about 35 pounds, lean, brown brindle coat with black stripes, large pointed ears like a heeler, and dark muzzle.

SF, please help me find my dog. She was lost by her sitter in the mission. But when she escaped 2 years ago, she made it all the way to Golden Gate Park. She is very sweet but very shy.

I am very worried about her getting hurt while she’s loose.

awesome and congrats! glad they’re still investing in this!!

the only way!!

The Mothership Vortex: An Investigation Into the Firm at the Heart of the Democratic Spam Machine How a single consulting firm extracted $282 million from a network of spam PACs while delivering just $11 million to actual campaigns.

The annoying spam texts destroying the Democratic brand:

$678M raised through those spam tactics

$282M to one consulting firm: Mothership Strategies.

$11M to actual campaigns (1.6%)

The party isn’t just treating donors like marks—it’s being fleeced itself yet continues to back Mothership.

okay but real question how does the camera operator keep up with him???
