There's still time to sign up for tomorrow's @transformgovtalks.bsky.social (MoJ/online) with: - @moiranics.bsky.social/Holly Marquez (Cab Office) on Why Planning for AI Disasters Unlocks Breakthrough Innovation ​- @bensauer.net on Always Be Creating Clarity: Daily habits for strategic storytelling

Slow, sarcastic clap for rac.co.uk . Classic roach motel move: can’t cancel the service without calling them. So much self-serve is possible online, but not that. Almost like you can never leave… cc/ @deceptive.design

The comments suggest "Sendetastenverunsicherung"

hey GDS/UK GOV folks. I just verified my ID for companies house. That process... was not fun. Got lost multiple times, ended up on help pages that didn't link me to the right place.

OK folks, help needed. Search engines and AI are coming up blank. Who said something like... "great works are great not because they are free of flaws, but because they have mastered their own perspective" ? I thought this was Virginia Woolf but can't find it....

Cursor just rickrolled me when I asked for some "HTML with an example youtube video embedded". 🤷

This is the story of my time at a well-funded yet disastrous startup

I've been running my 'Practical Strategic Storytelling' workshop at conferences and for orgs like Monzo for a while now, and the response has been unexpected...

So close... just 3 days and 10% to go! Watch the trailer, and immediately throw some cash at @daviddylanthomas.bsky.social's brilliant movie idea (zombies that only eat white people...)

Pony up people! This is such a great project

America is becoming one *giant* Chesterton's Fence, isn't it?

Finally got this prototype to work after 1000 years of debugging. Sweet release 🥲 The idea is I dump a bunch of unstructured notes on a topic in, feed that into gpt-4o-mini, ask it to label sections with a set of types – claim, evidence, assumption, etc. – and display them as coloured highlights

Hey. You. Yes you. Do you know what 'deadcatting' is? You should! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dead_ca...

Realising that ChatGPT's appeal is not just intelligence. It's providing a cleaned-up version of the web that's been missing for years. No crappy search results. No guessing which one's right. No cookie / mailing list popups or distracting ads. It's a return to what the web used to be.

Shameless plug! I made an indie calendar app for people with #adhd . Check it out here and repost if you like it. www.weelplanner.app

I just wrote "forgetababble" instead of "forgettable", and I think that's a much better description of what I was trying to describe. Forgetababble: When someone goes into so much detail, you don't remember a thing they've said.

Beneath a quiet park in Philly lie the bodies of hundreds of enslaved people (true). What if, one night, they all came back from the dead as zombies but only ate white people? That's the premise of my new film, White Meat. Will you help make it a reality? whitemeatmovie.com

Soooo.... to fix my phone <> laptop hotspot, Gemini is recommending that I... *checks notes*.... wipe my phone. 🫣

This is very good - subtle distinction between interacting with "AI as person" and "AI as computer." I've been arguing in recent talks that there's also a serious confusion generally between AI as mode of interaction (voice and chat), and AI as material (the intelligent plumbing behind the scenes)

Folks, I'm trying really hard to take the train instead of flying to Berlin next week. Don't mind working on a train for a whole day. But the booking process is a shitshow, the changovers are risky, the middlemen are slow + unhelpful, and the rail operators unreliable, then inflexible. 😱

I’ve said this before, but at a certain level of design your ability to write a doc is likely to have more impact than your ability to design interfaces. Not because you won’t design screens, but because your ability to convey an architecture, idea, or approach and get folks buy in is essential.

Well, this is a first: lost my voice. I'm doing four weeks of training / talks / events around Europe. WUD in Tallinn yesterday was a blast. Presented AM, rest of the day talking to people buying my book. Voice now defunct. Enforced silence for next couple of days. Kind of like it.

Discovering today that GenAI can't do maps. And comes up with pretty stupid icons for countries. See below...

OK. So this feels like a revival now - a real one. Glad to hear about the blocking / reporting working well on bluesky. What else would we like to be different this time?

Well hello all. and arrrg... so hard to make an image work right across different sizes in your profile!
