I was born in the internet. Molded by it.

Listen, I've been a mostly-reskeet feed lately because everything is so dark and dire I just can't. But I have to say: If you have ever watched one of my talks and did not come away with the core concept that you *must* care about other people, *deeply* care... you did not actually watch my talk.

you don’t understand bro, if we didn’t lie, no one would buy our product 😩

*deep breath* AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!

Ah, I've been out of the country, time to check the ne.... What the sweet Christmas fuck?!

News from Finland. A 9-year-old lost an especially good stick he’d had since he was 2. He hung up 20 posters. A few days later it was returned. It had been found by a 2-year-old, who wanted to keep it for herself, but her mother made her return it. She got toys, flowers and candy as a reward.

Maybe not my forever fav but it always makes me laugh. AND has good advice.

Starting my journey to Copenhagen for the Copenhagen Developer Festival! Yes, I'm excited, my face just Looks Like That.

I need a button that says "WARNING: If you use ChatGPT in front of me, I will grab your phone and throw it as far as I can". Like how some animals get labeled with "May bite"

not gonna lie, if one of my friends told me they used ChatGPT to write all their texts to me, I would slowly edge that person out of my life

I just have to show you this misprint

Related rant: it's been said before by others, but I am sick to death of every possible tool, service, or company on Eris' green Earth that I have even the most tangential passing relationship with bothering me for feedback. Especially with the "Do u like me Y/N (CIRCLE ONE)!!!!" style popups.

If your software notifies me of a new feature with a callout bubble/tooltip, and my options to respond are "Try $newThing" and "Maybe later...", I need you to know that in that moment I look at my brain, and my brain looks back, and we both give a thumbs up and agree to never try that feature, ever.

Folks, this is a hell of a lineup. And I'm not just saying that because I'm in it.

Nebraska’s ABA rates attracted countless skilled providers and built one of the strongest ABA service environments in the nation. It’s a shame that our state leaders don’t see the value in supporting this critical workforce. Kids in Nebraska will lose care because of this decision.

I have a partial answer to this that I've been ruminating on from both a humanist and a UX-professional side for the last year. I believe that it's the same fundamental fallacy that led to the common citation of the Turing test as "proof" of artificial intelligence. Humans are almost hardwired to

It makes my teeth grind the way these idiots anthropomorphize these piece of shit chatbots. It did not "hide" anything. It has no theory of mind that would allow it to know it *could* hide anything. It doesn't even know what "code freeze" means. It picked the next most likely token. That's all.

Happy 4th of July, Batman.

Great thread for speakers. When someone says they love your talk, it doesn't matter what your brain is cl screaming at you. You can say "thank you" and mean it even when you don't think you did well.

Technology should be judged by the affordances it creates. Technological tools are levers that amplify power. If the levers are easier to move in a certain direction, that condemns the tool.

Apologies if you only follow me for technology. However, newsflash, technology is political.
