We don’t have a clue, and at the same time know exactly what’s going on.

Optimus Primal’s expression is priceless… “WTF?!”

At least half the time I get an AI answer or summary forcefed to me about my area of expertise, it’s wrong. Usually it’s just a small thing, but still, wrong. Similar to you: A non-existing Figma admin feature. So, I assume it also gets it wrong on things I’m not an expert in…
Bauke (@baukes.bsky.social) reply parent
I think that might be partly because people and lists tend to block words & hashtags (one of the reasons I wish more people used hastags) so the more you put in, the higher the chance of it getting blocked.

Wow, that’s some clean paintwork.
Bauke (@baukes.bsky.social) reply parent
Yeah, I guess that’s fair. It’s why I’m a designer and not an artist. :)

I disagree with the final part there, because sometimes it isn’t about the money, but roughly, yeah. Ideas are a dime a dozen, execution counts.

“You’d ask a bot for a summary and forget what it told you, then proceed with your day, unchanged by words you did not read and ideas you did not consider.” Goddammit, that goes hard.

The first pc my parents bought was a 286. It came with windows 3.11 on floppydisks. I played a few games on it, Space Quest, Leisure Suit Larry, some Karate game, but I mostly did stuff in Paint and this graphics program ported from Amiga… Deluxe Paint?

Is the idea here that it would be nearly impossible to recover from, even with near perfect scores on all other assignments? I guess it would make the risk/reward calculation to use LLMs even for assignments that have less weight a lot more negative.

The ethical concern has to do with going against his (and possibly his university's) values, and the environmental concerns should always be considered. The ones in Word and Google Docs don't regurgitate whole paragraphs (yet?) and his main concern as a teacher is teaching critical thinking
Bauke (@baukes.bsky.social) reply parent
The important bit: "...such programs prevent, and discourage, the development of human beings both into free and critical thinkers and into proficient and creative writers and communicators. " As the analogy goes: Don't bring a forklift to the gym to lift your weights and expect to build muscle 1/2

“Watching … videos that use AI voices” is (unfortunately) a little hard to avoid. It icks me out when I notice it, and I tend to block the user/channel, but I can’t really avoid them popping up on my feeds. Unless you mean actively subscribing and sharing them, in which case I agree.

I have a powerstrip screwed to the bottom of the desk, so there’s only one cable coming from the outlet. All the cables go through a hole in the desk. I also have a 2nd powerstrip on top of the desk (want to replace it with a built in) that’s for all the USB chargers Cable ties help organize it.

Pretty much, yeah. Which might also be a problem in about 20 years when all the seniors are starting to retire. But CEO’s usually don’t plan for anything that far away.

“… the ridiculousness of a private LL being forced to subsidize the below market rent of the future mayor…” You tried to make a point here, but unfortunately it was stupid.

Sure, but you were implying that if someone has political ambition or a possible future job that pays well, they shouldn’t be allowed to get a rent controlled apartment….

Mine is related to yours, and I’m going to incorporate your definition in mine: “Design is not art. That doesn’t mean it can’t be beautiful and/or have a message, but design needs to fulfill business needs first and foremost. “
Bauke (@baukes.bsky.social) reply parent
Yes, there are. Unfortunately, they rarely are the ones that hold the purse strings. The artist/designer that made this poster probably had a tight deadline and didn’t as asked for a bunch of changes

They’re not even “illegally” breaking quorum. The Texas constitution allows the use of the tactic.

I was going to say: The login button, but I like yours better.
Bauke (@baukes.bsky.social) reply parent
The sales talk is working in executives because: 1) They don’t actually know how to do any of the things AI purports to do. They see it output code/design/text, but they don’t have the expertise to judge the quality of that output. 2) It gives them an excuse to “reduce overhead”. Line goes up.
Bauke (@baukes.bsky.social) reply parent
Yeah, that’s my biggest worry. I think it’s going to be 10/15 years, but there’s a whole generation of employees that either never learned how to do things, or didn’t get hired at all.

The current tactic seems to be to not go against what he says, so he doesn’t add more tariffs on top of whatever they are this week, but acknowledge when directly questioned that, no, that’s not how that works.

Sony is probably being careful, because they can’t 100% control what the game dev studios do. The insane workload and time constraints they are under will make them look at using LLMs, and the majority of devs will at least have co-pilot or something like that enabled.

Her top part also looks like it's a flat poster on that wall. It's really odd.

Another thing was the lights on their bikes. While battery powered lights did exist back then, it would be unlikely all the kids would have them, they’d probably have a “dynamo” or “bottle generator”powering their lights.

I think they’re just mad that you’re right and pointing out how little of them there actually are. That’s also how people are now approaching the Itch debacle. Apparently less than 1000 people complained to Mastercard, so now thousands are complaining about their actions.
Bauke (@baukes.bsky.social) reply parent
I understand what you’re trying to do here, but I think Itch could easily have turned this into a rallying cry to try and fight this. (Steam too, but people never really saw Steam as a community focused company). They handled it the worst way possible, and have burned a lot of goodwill.

One tip: I understand using a picture because of the character limit, but you should always use alt-text for accessibility. The character limit on alt-text is 2000. Just Copy-paste :) You can also turn on a toggle (per device) that requires you to always add alt-text when posting pictures.

I’d like to think I’d be the same person. I don’t care too much about materialism, but I would spend money on quality tools and maybe explore some hobbies I’ve avoided because of the costs. Would also take care of family, maybe set up a charity.

Awesome instructions. That little joke about Romita makes sure people will remember the tail. I try to do similar things when I write brand guidelines or other instructions to make things memorable.

My wife trying to figure out why I’m walking to the bathroom while wearing only underwear and one sock: “Is this an #adhd thing?” Yes, it is. I randomly remembered I need to charge my beard trimmer and if I just kept dressing myself, I’d only remember next time when I needed to trim my beard.

I bought a 180m2 house (a little under 2k sq ft) about 40 minutes outside Lisbon, Portugal It was a ruin, so we had the freedom to make the kitchen big (for socialising) We have 5 rooms, two of them are in use as (WFH) offices. It’s already a lot. I wouldn’t want anything bigger.
