‘“AI” content and user centered design’
There are benefits to one-click-content-creation for organisations. But I don’t see how end users could benefit, at all.
“Mastodon is easy and fun except when it isn’t - Erin Kissane’s small internet website”
“Techdirt’s down to zero results on Bing; meanwhile, Bing shows 1,760 for Lucire”
“The size of the World Wide Web”
I know it’s only one metric, but it sure does look like Bing is having serious problems and that the size of its index has collapsed. Probably not so coincidentally, a bunch of websites like Techdirt have disappeared from it.
“Weizenbaum examines computers and society - The Tech”
I think the computer has from the beginning been a fundamentally conservative force. It has made possible the saving of institutions pretty much as they were, which otherwise might have had to be changed.
As if I was sad enough already about her death. From six years ago.
“Sinead O’Connor is donating ‘30 years’ of clothes to Irish transgender youth”
“The First Room-Temperature Ambient-Pressure Superconductor”
Really hoping that this research on superconductors gets replicated. If genuinely feasible, then it could very well be the news of the century, a turning point in our history
Fucking Taylorism. Still the tech industry’s default mode of management.
Anyway, this is excellent.
Amy Hoy is right, as usual.
“Eleventy and CloudCannon: New Best Friends—zachleat.com”
Feels like a good fit for both Eleventy and CloudCannon.
“Does writing really have to be so solitary? — Chocolate and Vodka”
I’ve struggled with hyperindependence in the past so I made deliberate effort to break with that and find people to help me out on my ebooks. It’s hard but rewarding.
“AI Does Not Help Programmers”
What use do I have for a sloppy assistant? I can be sloppy just by myself, thanks
Our vision is for a World Wide Web that is more inclusive, and more respectful of its users: a Web that supports truth over falsehood, people over profits, humanity over hate.
That thing where you find an interesting blog that doesn’t have an RSS feed…
“Too bad. I guess I’ll never read this again!”
“Formative posts – Eric Bailey”
Seriously good reading list.
“The Power of Being New: A Proven Recipe for High Impact | Hazel Weakly”
Fucking hell is this shit tedious.
One of my favourite books on writing.
“Oppenheimer and AI — Emily F. Gorcenski”
Rather, it’s the wholesale death of culture, the mass displacement of jobs, the pollution of the internet, and the impending techno-hegemony I fear
“Antitrust Guidelines and Overthrowing a Corrupt Priesthood”
The tourist urge towards self-destruction continues. A group of 60 tried to disregard warnings and were narrowly prevented from walking into certain death at the eruption site
