I think one of the biggest reasons every designer has a knee jerk reaction to genAI is that it actively destroys human collaboration. It creates loners, a bunch of guys spinning off by themselves to create god knows what and nobody around them to tell them maybe pump the brakes on this one

That's what we're saying

a small bright spot, Maine gets one step closer to a moratorium. and there are many more similar laws up at the local level across the country

Oh nice the pervert company is trying to get you to buy their pervert glasses to record videos of your kids

Actually writing out the material is how you study & get it into memory. Making study guides, flashcards, cheat sheets, etc. is all a part of learning & processing the info. Just plugging it into an AI program will not help you. Plus, the AI will just steal your work

Promise of hope

Even with the state of the world this is so important. Maybe now more important than ever. It's hope.

In Korea, when the president declared martial law after midnight and erected barricades in Seoul, congressional reps from all parties ran into the streets, yanked ak47s from the army at the barricades, broke down the locked door to Congress, repealed the martial law order, and arrested the president

AI is being pushed as a productivity enhancer, however: Time spent on email: up 104% compared to pre-AI Time spent on chat/messaging: up 145% Time spent in biz management tools: up 95% Time spent working on Saturdays: up 46% Time spent working on Sundays: up 58% Time spent in focus mode: down 9%

Elon Musk is now worth over $800 billion. Tesla reported paying ZERO federal income tax on $5.7 billion of U.S. income in 2025. Meanwhile, millions of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck and household debt has risen to a record high. This is so wrong!!!!!

Doing user testing and finding a new edge case

That only works if any of these people actually believe there is going to be a "next administration"

What do these companies have in common? Amazon Target UPS Microsoft Home Depot Meta Nike Verizon All of them just announced layoffs—after getting huge corporate tax breaks last year. We're still waiting for the responses to the letters @warren.senate.gov sent them demanding answers.

Well, people need medications and food for starters. Nobody needs more pictures of Super Mario and Goku playing basketball

The reality is that the bluesky brand has no personality, voice, style, or anything. There's literally nothing that differentiates it from a slew of other big tech startups resulting in a cultural void. If they want it to be something they need to take some risks

Idk man, bluesky really doesn't offer up much that is unique or useful in terms of the user experience. It's a 5th rate microblogging platform and the reality is, people have migrated from this concept that was fresh in 2005.

UX designers have created so many patterns that address exactly this problem but every dev in the world just wants a command line in a terminal

Growth

I had this conversation the other day. I don’t see much future for AI as a magic “do all the work” tool. But when I talk about “grunt work” my analogy would be something: you used to have to manually manage memory allocation, but newer languages like C# or Swift take care of that for you.

“Those delays, it seems, are due to a key bottleneck: electrical components manufactured abroad.”

One of the things that I hate is how after dealing with Adobe for so long I just bought Affinity Photo to get away from their hideous ux choices and AI and then canva bought them out and jammed AI into it anyways

Apple like Must know that this "keeping a deactivated entry for every one-time alarm you set ever" is awful UI and UX

"anti-ai sentiment is only on bluesky"

I'm going to be a contrarian here and say none of you hate ai, you hate how it's being implemented at scale

Bring back web 1.0 and dialup please

Finding it hilarious that for weeks now I've been getting recruiter calls for a UX position that's on-site and paying below market rate. I'm sure that has nothing to do with their inability to fill this

"the user is often wrong" is just the user doesn't know how to frame their issues

This honestly feels very convenient I can get 3 1/2 months of calories out of the way for a reasonable price in one convenient package

is it still worth to study ui/ux design? with all those ai around feels useless to keep studying just for a machine do instantly what would you take days it is mainly about the ui with ai but it’s hard to explain to someone who’s not into the concept of user experience why you should hire a human

Thinking about how 4 years ago I bought 32gb of low latency RAM for $130 and now the same exact one is over $280

Baffled by AT protocol fans who talk like this fake-decentralised platform is why bluesky has users

People getting mad at me for pointing out that ai is just enabling them to build the wrong thing faster and at scale. In short another Tuesday

I'm not going to sit here and say that ai tools aren't useful in certain contexts. It can sometimes do wildly cool, useful things. I've also seen it abused and fail miserably more often than not What I'm not going to cross is the line of accepting ai blindly, with zero regard to human impact

AI is a frustrating mess that adds little to no value for your common user. Most people don't understand how to interact with it and prefer normal UIs they're accustomed to. It actively creates a worse user experience and engenders distrust of your product

You could literally do this with a form instead of using ai nonsense that's going to generate slop your users don't want and won't fit their needs. It would be easier, faster, and be a better product and user experience

I've worked on ai platforms. The biggest problem they present? Blank canvas. Nobody knows how to interact with them. Nobody knows what the actual capabilities are. Reducing things down to a text line prompt does nothing but create user paralysis and frustration

You could literally do this with a form instead of using ai nonsense that's going to generate slop your users don't want and won't fit their needs. It would be easier, faster, and be a better product and user experience

This ai application could have just been a form

Sorry I only work for monkey pictures

Why don't you ask the ai how to ship user interaction and experiences that they actually want

"Developers who fully delegated to AI produced working code but failed conceptual quizzes afterward. They couldn't debug what the AI had written for them. They had the output without the understanding."

Slapping a prompt box on everything is basically lazy engineers not wanting to deal with a user interface. Which is yet another case of engineers not understanding or caring about actual human interactions. As a user, I want a user interface because I'm a user interfacing with your *product*

With the advances of AI it's really never been easier to ruin your life and go insane

I'm convinced that google ux basically just sits around and runs experiments on us all day because they know you'll never abandon this
