Lads, if you're not going to allow yourself the vulnerability to feel moved by art, then at least have the decency to be haunted by your profits

Is this an entire business centered on a reference to a 3 season show from 50 years ago?

No Man’s Figma

One thing I love about the studio display is that on video calls, voices come through the monitor at the same volume the person was speaking.

I think it’s to allow a check for things like 2fa or passwordless login methods like FaceID or Passkeys.

Bummer that it complicates the login process for everybody, especially if you’re using a password manager.

Don’t make me add Cheeto to my blocklist.

This is exactly the kind of pointlessly argumentative post he is talking about. You are the problem.

Me: hey google show me a transparent image

Google: Ceci n’est pas un PNG transparent

Nice! Looks like this just got enough support to become a viable option within the last year.

Was a fan of the color functions. Being able to adjust lightness or saturation on a color allowed for some cool stuff.

Like being able to lighten a color by 10% for a hover, or using a darker shade of a background color for a border.

There is a camera passthrough that creates the illusion you can see the background, but it is entirely through a screen.

I just want him to play a young Steve Buscemi

VR goggles will never have mass appeal like a device you can glance at while doing other things.

All I've blocked so far is two last names, I bet you can guess which ones.

As is the claim of non-inevitability.

You know just as much about the future as I do, which is nothing.

The only kind of proof one can make about an unrealized outcome is with rationalizations.

People had the same sentiment about computers, the internet, cell phones, smart phones, etc.

You can get by without those things, but the world changes even if you choose to stand still.

Inevitable only means that a thing can’t be stopped, not that it is all-consuming.

Inevitable in the sense that even if you don’t use it, other people will.

My aim is to be objective and realistic about the future.

AI is loaded full of ethical problems from all angles. We should be extremely critical of it, and we should object to it's use in specific ways.

I don't think "AI is bad, I don't want it, get it away" is a very nuanced or useful take.

"We can't make it not exist" points pretty directly back at the inevitability, no?

Lol you're the one that first used the word in this thread, and now you're really stretching the definition.

To be clear, my argument is that AI exists, that we can't make it not exist, and that people use tools they find useful.

Common. Typical. Usual. It implies that there are exceptions. That it is not a universal.

Do you understand what 'generally' means?

You read "people", understood that I meant "people in general", but are arguing as though I said "all people".

And what I really meant was "people will generally choose technology that feels nicer to use". This statement has nothing to do with AI.

Shocked at how many professional designers use groups in Figma instead of frames.

What are "these things" that I want?

People don't "want AI". They want the result it gives them. It is already a much better experience than google for a lot of really basic things, like looking up the cast of a tv show.

AI allows a softer way of interacting with technology that people will prefer.
