I thoroughly enjoyed this conversation with Kyle Turman from Anthropic, and I hope you do too. We discuss the importance of context, what it’s like designing for systems that aren’t fully predictable, Wizards, and so much more. Full episode: designingwithai.substack.com/p/kyle-turma...

Veggie garden is testing my patience this year. My succession planted broccoli are all flowering at the same time. Chard is going so slow. Birds eating my peas. But still loving every minute of it. #vegetablegardening

Welp, I guess my experience HAS been different here. I’m on an anti-NFT/AI list which means I’m auto blocked by folks. Explains why activity has seemed low here. Fun times.

They key to building a prompt for ongoing or shared use (e.g. team project, brand) is crafting it for longevity, accuracy, and ease-of-use. Check out my review of Pentagram's prompt for their recent Performance.gov project. (And tips on how to improve it.) https://buff.ly/4gzKoOw

The use of generative AI by Pentagram in a government project marks a significant turning point for design. Has the famed agency embraced the future or abandoned the very soul of design? designingwithai.substack.com/p/pentagram-...

Well, we had to cancel our airstream camping trip for Thanksgiving due to the bomb cyclone… and I couldn’t garden in the pouring rain, so… we did this.
