everything is still pretty terrible but it's not yet against the law for me to walk to the neighborhood co-op and buy some bagels, singing along to rilo kiley and john prine the entire walk

begging others in tech to see beyond their IDE and acknowledge how AI is pouring kerosene on already bad social problems (spread of disinfo, concentration of wealth, paying artists and writers for their labor, adolescent mental health, weaponization of our legal system + more)

you know everyone references "The Design of Everyday Things" but I find that I think about Don Norman's book "Living With Complexity" far more often

awhile back there was a piece... maybe in the Baffler? but probably somewhere else, about how the rise of Zombie films was an accurate metaphor for fears under neoliberalism; that everything we love isn't dead but is no longer alive. does this piece ring a bell to anyone else?

Stepping in here to defend Ann’s statement, which I’ve now seen framed this way by several technologists. Ann is an author. Her context is about usability, not technical capacity. On the merits of her context, she is correct. Technical specificity does not change her conclusions.

i was revisiting Speakerboxx/The Love Below today and it was kinda wild to me that Hey Ya shouts out Beyoncé, a reference everyone would have gotten in 2003, i guess? but here, 22 years later, it's just as obvious that you'd shout her out? what an icon

as weird as it is, the best lever we have for curbing AI is liability. if companies are made clearly liable for the harms of AI, including harms to employees, you would see a lot less enthusiasm for it. as it is, it feels like a tool to reduce labor costs without increasing liability risks. bad!

the rules as practiced under fascism are: - history is meaningless unless it justifies use of power - rules must be followed by the letter, spirit, and intent, unless you are an enforcer (then they are just suggestions) - the only people who matter are the ones on our list. no you can't see it.

gosh i understand that it's valuable to have nuance in discussions such as about AI (which is not a thing, it is multiple things) but also jfc nerds, read the goddamn moment. there are like 8 global crises that are interlinked, it is a bad fucking time for nuanced conversations.
