@maxleibman the AI requires context in order to do it’s job well enough, but context is ephemeral, exists in people’s heads, and can’t easily be collected. So having failed at trying to figure out how to collate all knowledge, companies are just moving on to killing it instead.
Design system? Fuck that. Coding standards? It works, doesn’t it? Project specifications? Just tell the LLM what you want, throw the entire codebase at it, and have it generate some tickets it’ll implement.

Claude Design unlocks the project manager’s dream of making the button bigger without pushback. Half of your design team will be fired in a month, the design system and branding guidelines thrown in the trash, and the App Store ratings down one or two points in a few months time.

Major tech figures becoming drug-addled eugenicists was absolutely predictable from the mid-2000s. You just didn’t hear much about it because tech journalism is super uncritical about everything.

Tech culture as a whole has been terrible my entire career. This whole AI bubble is powered by and will collapse through the culture’s persistent refusal to care about or understand the humanities. Video generation that can’t handle continuity, design programs that doesn’t understand any art theory.

Thanks to Claude Code™, all my achievements get attributed to AI, while I get to own all the failures!

The tops are made of plastic and cost $70. The bottoms are made of plastic and cost $120. They all must be washed on delicate cold and air dried. The brand knows you didn’t read the care instructions.

I do feel like 2027’s going to be more positive for trans people, and that’s mostly going to be the result of the alt right eating shit pretty much everywhere all at once.

Orbán’s out, and with him, hopefully, a pillar of alt right circular references and justifications internationally. Definitely feels like we’re in the midsts of a sea change.

My crystal ball says in 2027, brands are going to be co-opting the dolls hard while not paying a single one of them.

Watching some teenagers with a very professional looking amateur crew try to film something in Washington Park. Audio dude must be in hell with all the loud, sudden city background noise.

Developers have been bad at reading and implementing designs, and they’re even worse at it now because they think Claude will just figure it out.

I wish these AI companies would just put shit out without doing a press tour about how apocalyptic their new model supposedly is. Meanwhile this new model that supposedly could autonomously shut down an energy grid’s actual day to day is making slide shows, fugly party posters, and buggy websites.

So, did y’all actually read Detransition Baby, or has everyone forgotten about the existence of crypto-trans chasers, because I swear people are acting like this is some brand new concept.

Because I mostly take pictures of myself, family, and other black people, my editing techniques have been molded around editing for and around darker complexions. They completely fall apart with lighter skin tones because those concerns are like the inverse of everything I usually do.

My makeup techniques were created defensively early in my transition, guarding against hairs that no longer exist and pores that are much smaller now. I think it’s time to reevaluate. Switch to something that isn’t full coverage, drop the setting powder.

Navel gazing about transness is infinitely less distressing to me than talking about transness in broader society, so forgive me for avoiding that side of things for a while.

No one gives a shit about some random online trans discourse thing, I guarantee you that none of it will be consequential towards trans rights or the progression of the trans community overall. All it does is make you bitter and cut you off from others.

I’m a mother, if I go to my child’s play, chaperone one of their field trips, or speak at a career day, could I end up getting harassed? Become a news story? Have legislation proposed to make it illegal to ever be there again? It’s not without precedent and shapes the ways in which trans people, including myself, interact with the world. #tdov #transgenderdayofvisibility

Trans visibility comes with risk. We brave a world that is hostile to us, risk our mere participation or existence within spaces as cause for discrimination. Trans visibility is important to each other yes, but don't take this day as something where we need affirmation. What we need is allies. #tdov

Things are accelerating so quickly in government backed transphobia that we’re looking at a whole segment of the country marching towards the institutionalization of trans people without much notice or care. https://transitics.substack.com/p/kentucky-bill-declaring-trans-people

The most annoying thing about TERFs is that they don’t even believe in their own rhetorical alternatives to transition. They’ll say “what’s wrong with being a feminine boy” while banning drag. They’ll say “you can present however you want” while banning binders.

AI agents sounds cool to leadership until they learn that an AI agent more or less operating on a single prompt to do a single thing, and you need to keep making new ephemeral prompts for everything it does, refine those prompts, and in the end, still never trust the outputs to be totally autonomous.

The buried lede in this is that in the last Trump admin, Maduro was indicted for leading Cartel de los Soles, an organization that does not exist and is a turn of phrase in Venezuela that describes corruption. Nevertheless, Trump declared it a terrorist organization back in July. Keep this in mind for the future when it comes to ANTIFA.

@daisy shout out to everyone who implemented Google SSO wrong and broke my logins when my email changed, or the ones that wouldn’t let me change my name because they hardcoded it from the first time I used SSO.
