Thinking about @ohdannyboi.bsky.social 🙌 post on the Schlitz Mistake and this crushing Enshittification of Tech Products.I think we lose a lot in the time it takes to run its course.While the pendulum can swing back,there may be too much damage done to reasonably recover.Can brakes be tapped now?

Camus,while the philosopher of "The Absurd"was a realist in the ideals of freedom.He lived under the German occupation of Paris and published Sisyphus during this time. Under overwhelming odds,the "everyman" must find meaning within his daily endeavor. youtu.be/b4fCrva9DB0?...

The AI age is the "age of no consent" "Inevitability" means design decisions are no longer informed by user needs; now they are unilaterally imposed. The users are the ones being designed.

Users hate AI. So tech made it mandatory. Even if you don't use it, it pollutes what you read and how systems make decisions. The computer's hallucinated word is final.

And it needs all of your data to do it.

In the age of no consent, UX exists to normalized complete acquiescence to surveillance:

Here’s a fun promo I worked on back in February for the stage production of Buena Vista Social Club. I’m barely discernible in it, but it features my buddy Darryl Small,the fellow with the great face 🙌🤩 he and I were also in another film this year.Great gig!

I’m so sorry for your loss, thinking of you.

"The woman who doesn't require validation from anyone is the most feared individual on the planet." —Mohadesa Najumi.

Despite my best efforts I'm writing about AI again. Tomorrow's issue of Product Picnic is channeling Ed Zitron.

AI is no longer optional: it's forced into every product you use and scraping every word you write. If the past decades were the age of user centered design, now is the age of no consent.

On another platform, we are talking about how Pedro Pascal or Oscar Isaac needs to reimagine GOMEZ ADDAMS (preferably echoing the great Raul Julia’s take) OMFG this has to happen! Pedro or Oscar 💯 and I volunteer as tribute for our queen MORTICIA. Aye dios mio 🖤🥹🙌✨🥀 my heart would asplode!

There is immense power in being healed enough to get back the music that someone once ruined for you. But when it’s the musicians themselves that ruin it for you …(scummy behavior, SA, misogyny, racism, cluster b, other fuckery) it’s just gonna be gross and impossible forever.

lol “zohrandipity” nails it! What are the statistical odds of this? Yay for super talented cool new friends @sueapfe.bsky.social @bshaykin.bsky.social 😎🖤 Zabar’s has it in the bagels 🥯, but ZOHRAN has this in the bag! 🤓😁

This movie was absolutely remarkable -consider how outstanding/weird for the genre it was, the actors performances especially Mark Rylance🙀, Luca Guadagnino is such a talented director, and it was shot during pandemic times. I hype this film to everyone,regardless of Timmy but I know what you mean
