The Media's Pivot to AI Is Not Real and Not Going to Work AI is not going to save media companies, and forcing journalists to use AI is not a business model.

"Using AI" is not a business model. You can only fight slop with authenticity.

"There is no real “pivot to AI” that is possible unless that pivot means firing all of the employees and putting out a shittier product (which some companies have called a strategy)."

Devastated by the sudden loss and passing of our dear friend Vicky. She was a kind, thoughtful and all round amazing person. So much integrity and sincerity

Thinking of you Vicky ❤️

I was thinking this morning, instead of reframing UX work as Product Discovery, why don’t companies just let UX and researchers do their job? Bring them in at the beginning instead of making them react to whatever decisions or strategies you’ve made.

Any recommended longform reading for a holiday weekend? (Doesn't have to be tech/UX related)

State of User Research 2023 Report | User Interviews Our 5th annual report unpacks survey data from 929 UX researchers and ReOps pros to uncover trends in research teams, tools, AI, layoffs, and more.

According to User Interviews' data (SOUR 2023), about 87% of teams do research either mostly or fully remote.

That said, what's right for the industry may not be for the NHS. Who are your users, where are they, and how hard are they to find online?

I saw the news about Bluesky opening up so I decided to log in and was pleasantly surprised to see your response! Thank you!

Friend of mine is convinced they're using the data to train an LLM, so he's poisoning the well by writing in only wrong answers (which he generates with GPT, for an added touch of irony)

(Jerry Seinfeld voice) what’s the deal with centers of excellence? What if we just made the whole thing excellent?
