Pavel @spavel.bsky.social · 17/03/2026Many predictions about AI are simply wishful thinking. "Now that AI is here, designers will have more time to focus on quality." Really? Is that what you see happening? Is that the trend, is that where the incentive structure is leading us? 1633767
Pavel @spavel.bsky.social · 18/03/2026Self-described tech optimists tell me that anything is possible in the future and I'm just being a killjoy. But are you doing anything about it, or just hoping really hard that the future will contort itself to accommodate you, against the wishes of the forces actively funding the opposite outcome? 58210
DW Hartman @dwhartman.bsky.social · 18/03/2026Back in the day, people told me that "anything is possible" with the internet, that it would usher in an era where everyone accessed the most reliable information and where everyone understood each other. I believed them. We ended up with social media, conspiracy theories, and more polarization. 010
Keith Ford @keithford.bsky.social · 18/03/2026The thing about "anything is possible" is that anything also includes a whole lot of really evil shit and the people that want that particular flavor of the possible tend to be really motivated. 020
jace cavacini @dysamoria.com · 18/03/2026This has already played out countless times with different fads being plead as offering these same outcomes. The real outcomes have been shitty software, unreliable services, profit-maximizing at the cost of quality, worker elimination, support elimination, and continued unaccountability. 000
Dr Greg Maguire @drgregmaguire.bsky.social · 18/03/2026Yes, anything is possible, but what they're talking about is highly improbable. 010
Ryan @ryanwright.bsky.social · 18/03/2026Our new feature “Quality” is now conveniently SaS and only costs $1799.35 per month. For only $4998.35 per month, we’ll even send you fixes for many of the massive bugs sent out on release. 040
