If you squint and tilt your eyes, advertisements interspersed in streaming content are just a kind of capitalist hallucination.

Really cool to see. I wonder if Quebec is doing something similar to this?

I don’t disagree. I also think media literacy has always been a necessary condition for a functioning democracy. I’m a fan of AI inasmuch as it invites more media literacy, inquiries into provenance, etc.

Uh, we paid writers $100/article back in 2008 for UX Booth. I would expect more from Fast Company in 2025.

I wonder if we need a more nuanced way of describing consent in this context? Rather than “passive” consent models like terms of service or “active” consent models like informed consent, what if we approached consent as a continuous process (similar to “social license to operate”)?

If Pavel is right then Apple, the very company that popularized the phrase user experience (if I’m not mistaken), appears to have lost the plot. I really hope not.

It’s been fun watching the unlikely rise of MCP as a standard, which is open and messy in a way that mimics the dynamics of the good parts of Web 2.0. Maybe something interesting will happen! www.anildash.com//2025/05/20/...

18F, the federal government’s technology shop, was just demolished by Musk’s team. It was a cost-recoverable org, charging agencies for their expertise, using a consulting model. Its cost to government was negligible, its benefits huge. My team there once saved DoD $500 million. A thread about 18F:

This feels very, very relevant to my interests. Excited to dive in. I’ve been trying to write something accessible on participatory qualitative research (and co-design) for some time.

You've articulated well something I've felt for over a year now. And to be sure, I still idly listen to this podcast. But I can't bear the idea of putting money towards a 100% critical view with no willingness to entertain the upshot.
