The imagined influence of the algorithm controls all language, which is the same thing as controlling thought, ultimately. And the generation that’s grown up saying “unalive” doesn’t even know they’ve been muzzled all along.

How are people so utterly incompetent at putting carry-on luggage in a 737-800 bin properly?! Especially once a flight attendant already told them exactly how to do it.

Same! I almost bought the XTIENK x4 Pro last night. But that new BOOX you posted looks nicer especially with the USB-C port for the same price.

Sorry, that was harsh. I'm a designer, so my screen having accurate and consistent color is crucial. I don't know the context here. Just saying if I bought that direct from Apple, I would immediately return it.

Technologists to create ‘trustworthy’ copy of GSA web design system amid AI-driven takeover
Concerns about the design system have heightened after a DOGE alum and AI engineer began deleting comments and adding AI tools to a GitHub repository.

Really grateful for the change of scenery this week.

Dang, if I hadn't gone to the dentist this week, I would be ending the year with 400 hours of sick leave accrued which is a very satisfyingly round number. Much nicer than 397. 😔😅 (I also realize how fortunate I am that I even earn SL, and that I haven't had to use it much anymore.)

100% agree

David Jones @davidjones.nyc · 01/10/2026
Agree generally… but disgustingly they are a bit related by the fact that some of the main people behind AI companies and research are known rapists and sexual abusers, plus have their sex cult that's very into CNC. There's been a whole big discussion about it in the last 2 weeks or so especially.

While it's really nice looking, it feels insanely overpriced. I get much of the same benefit with just my iPad Pro as a travel monitor. Plus the iPad is also functional when not in use as a second display.

On a separate—while we focus on AI's creation involving intellectual theft, data centers harming the environment, potentially destroying countless jobs, etc—I don't think there's enough emphasis on the risks involved in concentrating info and reasoning into the hands of a few powerful people.

Man, I love Nigella on GBBO! What a wonderful addition & I love how she pushes back on Paul! The cameraman or editor who either hates her or is creepily obsessed needs to lay off though. Why the insane zoom in on her mouth for nearly every bite of food? That wasn't a thing before. Fucking weird.

I think there's a decent chance the new AI-pilled USWDS is going to be built on shadcn, and I don't think it's a good fit. I wrote a very little bit about why I think that but I could write a hell of a lot more. matthenry.fyi/posts/a-syst...

Tech companies are trying to use the ELIZA effect and cute animation to sell you devices that will surveil you constantly, convince you they're your best and only friend, sap you of your cognitive capacities, and push your purchasing habits and opinions in whatever way they please. That's it.

The goal of AI isn’t actually to make your job easier. It’s to extract your labor and our resources faster to increase their corporate and personal profits.

Several civic technologists, civil servants, and concerned citizens signed on to an open letter to GSA leadership and members of congress asking them to protect USWDS as a piece of critical digital infrastructure. I'm proud to be one of them. fedscoop.com/websites-jeo...

The letter comes after administration officials changed leadership for the system, implemented new AI tooling, and shut out members of an open-source community.

I think I remember hearing that some park employees were rejecting people's passes if they cover it with a sticker (or were instructed to do so) so people started selling custom covers that cover just that image part but it slides right out for showing at the park entrance.

It really feels like an editor is either obsessed with her or hates her the way they focus and linger on her mouth repeatedly. I don't remember that ever with Paul or Prue. Very strange. That editor needs to give it a rest. But Nigella is such a delightful addition to the show!

Fuck ChatGPT flyers. The future is broadsheets.
A crowded broadsheet with way too many fonts. It says:
Forget ChatGPT Flyers

Broadsheets
Unlimited fonts
Stretch them
Or cram a really long sentence into one line for no good reason
No whitespace
Mix capital and lowercase
Pointing hands

Brutal.
“No one’s been able to” automate accessibility testing, including large accessibility companies, one government technology employee told The Washington Sun. Changes made with “AI and the confidence of a coked-up teenager” could make the system — and websites that rely on it — less accessible, they said.
