As if Figma didn't already burn enough trust with designers, now they are also silently opting everyone in to let them train their AI on your work. For the time being, you can opt out in the settings. But for how much longer?

I believe this is true for so many 'automation' or advanced algorithms. They were there before, but now with AI (LLMs) they are worse.

Just so I'm clear on this, computer memory has tripled in price because a bunch of it that hasn't been produced yet has been ordered to populate GPUs that aren't installed in data centers that aren't built yet in order to service a demand that doesn't exist to make profits that don't happen.

This from Apple, plus Windows 11 being full of AI slop in its core features, combined with Steam Machine can only mean that 2026 is finally gonna be the year of linux on desktop.

"The Mona Lisa, by Leonardo da Vinci, circa 1503-1506" Or maybe it's all about having basing income cover so you can focus on it more. Give any half-decent artist enough time and no pressure to buy food and pay rent, and see what happens.

I don’t know if anyone else notices or cares, but when I see a presentation in which the speaker uses obviously generated-AI images to illustrate their slides, it makes me immediately less confident in whatever other content they’re presenting.

How broken is today's frontend culture? A friend points out that the median *mobile* page is now larger than a copy of DOOM (2.6 MiB vs. 2.48 MiB), the 75th percentile page is more than 2 DOOMs, and the P90 mobile page is 4.5x the size of DOOM:

1) every time LLMs have been tested for coding it has been found it makes development slower, although it feels faster 2) they are useless for "general enquiries" because they have no mechanism to detect truth, they just spit out likely text in a way that emulates human produced output

A religious upbringing in childhood is linked to poorer mental and cognitive health in later life
The long-term health effects of a religious childhood are not uniform, a new study of older Europeans finds. On average, the experience is linked to poorer self-rated health, though the association differs across health domains.

designers and no one is using genAI in any MEANINGFUL way to revolutionize their design work. Sure, everyone is playing with it, and it can do some cool parlor tricks, but there isn't anything significant happening in design. This needs to be said louder.

I knew my grandma number as a geometry shape. Not too dissimilar from current days PIN numbers for banks, reason why I forget them if I don't use them often.

Social media, meaning the spaces for people to meet and socialize globally, has been dead for possibly 10 years already. What we have now is parasocial media: a form of mass media where there’s illusion of relationships covering a high virality broadcast tool controlled by algorithms.
