Don't be silly. Of course I didn't watch this 5 times, absolutely fascinated, zooming in closer and closer on each watch. That'd be weird.

Satiric poster of someone stealing a painting titled “it’s not theft if you say you’re using it to train your AI algorithm”

"It cannot be extracted"... And yet somehow, here we are.

Held.

Reflected.

Seen.

Has the model been watching a lot of Ariana/Cynthia interviews recently, perchance?

This is fantastic news - can't wait to hear Gitte at AiTCCambs this year 🤩

Fab choice @agilecambridge.bsky.social 👏

104: The quality of design work is always going to be a function of its environment. Because the environment in most places is bad, your biggest impacts will come from improving the environment rather than your individual process.

101: LLM summaries of interview transcripts are just a spicy word cloud, and about just as useful.

Again... The same can be said of behavioural change. If you want people to change what they do & how they do it, you have to make it as easy as possible, as well as appealing...

51: You can never make "data driven" decisions until you recognize that emotions like fear and greed influence your decisions.

The same is true of cultural change, and organisational transformation initiatives.

If you don't build them with the end user in mind, they're most likely not going to be used.

Awww 😊

The pieces of a smashed yellow teacup are laid out in a neat rectangle. The ground is wet. Out of shot, a si gle tear rolls down the photographer's cheek.

Today, I bring you:
A tragedy*, in yellow

*My daughter says it should be "trage-tea"

Ok this is what I could make in an evening (wellllll.... it's 1am. But I only started at 9ish.)

LOTS of copy-pasted chatgpt code lol. Quick and dirty. But it works!

Searchable, and will show slides, video, or both side-by-side if both are available.

UX fact number one: users don't want to use your product. Every button you force them to click is like a hook digging into their soul. Give them what they came for and release them from the suffering.

UX fact number two: designers should never learn to code. Code is like a gun - you start to think that because it is so powerful, it can be the solution to all your problems. In reality your problems are sociopolitical. Coding will not make you better at meetings.

UX fact number three: If you think meetings are a waste of time, you are a bad designer. Meetings are a tool, and if you don't know what the tool is for, you're probably assuming that all those things come for free and then get upset when people don't "appreciate design."

"The major difference between a thing "that might go wrong and a thing that cannot possibly go wrong is that when a thing that cannot possibly go wrong goes wrong it usually turns out to be impossible to get at or repair"

Fabulous quote, thanks for sharing 😁

Shit... Does this mean I have to find interesting things to say, now?

🤦‍♀️😵😂

Heyy!

Pop Base © @PopBase The Spanish football federation announces that, instead of removing president Luis Rubiales, they will take legal action against player Jenni Hermoso as they claim she 'lied' about non-consensual kiss. The federation also says players have an "obligation" to play for the national team after 81 female players said they would not play until Rubiales was removed, in solidarity with Jenni Hermoso. 11 10

Ya know how women say all the time they’re afraid to come forward with something because of the fear they’ll be accused of lying and making it up?
