ChatGPT launched three years ago. Now the web is filling with slop. We can rewild it, but we'll need to get creative... Today I’m launching The Human-Made Project, a simple and decentralized way to label creative works as being made by a human, not by AI. thehumanmade.org

yooo Zucc's releasing a dub album

Roles listed as 'Remote' which turn out to be more than 1 day in the office every quarter should be punishable by a fine of 10x the starting salary send post

Really enjoyed my banking app's yearly roundup where I learned that apparently I spend my money on a mortgage and food 👍

Before you plan the season, prep the van, book the campsites, and tell your mates you're using their showers, it is of course most important you brand the trip's newsletter first.

i promise you

Making changes to my Personal Web Site

errored today lads

You know what it? I hate that AI has taken away the stranglehold designers had over high quality shitposts. Used to have queues out the door asking for photoshop requests. Used to have art direction on all hazing at work. Now any old spanner can slop out some shit. No story, no craft. Sickening.

Forever and always, trans rights are human rights.

great week for my self esteem

Learned at the big boy age of 32 that cmd+w closes the current window. Closing shit left and right now, boys. Watch out, might close this window. Big value add. Follow me for more tips

Speaks volumes about my industry that I attended an event and instantly clipped into the backrooms

Wild definition of success

No idea why I was seemingly wearing a full suit at Christmas or why there's so many CRTs behind me but here's a cute lil then/now. Bet they regretted buying me that kit almost instantly.

Unfortunately in my Art Director era 👓

Hey shitheads, looks like you're not using this feature we've spent millions and hedged our entire future on. Just gonna make a slight tweak to the app so that the muscle memory you've built over the last decade means you'll always click into it by mistake. Sweet, have a good one fucko.

LinkedIn AI guy who consumes art like fast food once again demonstrates he has no ability to understand anything creative beyond the very surface level. Devoid of emotion, a message to communicate, a considered opinion. Like the author.

I am proud to be a knobhead

10+ years' experience interviewing and testing things with users and I still spend days researching best practices before starting niche projects. Meanwhile some chud gives it the 'I asked Gemini and it said to...'. My brother I'm going to hang you up from a coat rack by your underpants.

My sole gmail chat message thing is from @snhd.co asking me to check my phone in 2013 and I enjoy it every time I tab there by mistake

Cold emailing 30 users for testing and realising I've signed every single one off with 'Bert wishes'

Building some weird shit for the World Wide Web

Gorgeous long weekend hiking, swimming, and seeing old friends in Porjigorl 📍 Portimão 📷 #FujiX100F / #VSCO

Sorry mum.

Fucked the steam up so took the only reasonable course of action

Looks like I'll be coming to the end of a contract shortly so will have availability for new projects from later this month Give me a shout if you're on the lookout for frontend dev or design systems work and particularly if you're looking for animations, interactions or anything a bit experimental

Planning a summer full of late night drives, of mornings in the fog, of campsites and castles and tales of whimsy. A summer intimately shared. A summer I am growing to fear because it may be the best summer of my life. What does one do after a summer like this? What a lovely thing to be afraid of.

Was giving instant torque and insane top speeds in 2+ ton cars to the worst drivers on the road – people with zero understanding of kinetic energy – a bad idea? Maybe!

Just bought some fashion items to patch up my own fashion items. Can anyone explain this fashion item?

Finally, a good use for it

my fave anti-ai post of all time:

rotatingsandwiches.com Thank you for bringing this to my attention @piccalil.li

Work in fintech. Probably type 'eligibility' 10 times a day. Still takes me 16 goes to get it right each time.

My modern, plastic Dymo broke and the only fix was to buy a new one. Meanwhile this chunky bastard is 50 years old and going strong. Buy it for life I guess.

Salad Fingers looking winkle on my afternoon coffee is it

Oh look it's what anyone with a fucking brain in their nut has been saying for 3 bastard years

Must be thrilling to wake up and know you could receive this shite from me at any moment. What an honour.

Love to see @bell.bz pop up in the wild: heydesigner.com/n/good-ux/

In 2019 a colleague gave me this spoon from their town in China, which cleared customs with the note 'cat anus spoon'

"This tech isn't going away!" "This is inevitable!" "Adapt or get left in the dust!" are all things we're being told by the same people who were telling us you're going to need a blockchain dingus to unlock your front door two years ago.

Interesting to see Klarna have gone public on the NYSE. Shame they didn't go bankrupt instead.

Hey @notion.com, fuck this shit off you clowns.

Yesterday I ran for the first time since May. Living for that sweet, familiar muscle ache HOWEVER I cannot currently walk down stairs without it looking like I'm midway through soiling myself. Worth.

Turns out doing this for a little Friday laugh is actually not the best idea

Every time I write a blog or post to LinkedIn my company's share price goes up by about a penny. Fifth(?) time it's happened? Yes. Coincidence? Absolutely. The power of design ✨

A very minor upside of all these England flags is that I've now got a spreadsheet of local businesses that'll never see a penny from me again✌️
