Short version: yes, buttons are getting worse. Long version: by and large, apps and programs and websites these days are effectively dumb terminals -- when you click a button they do no processing on their own, and instead send the data to a central server, which sends a response back. (1/4)

Years ago there was a mobile provider advert that mocked a girl for posting “OMG Broccolis!!” on social media and I think a lot about how wrong they were.

This is one of those things that makes me so angry about this stuff. We are at an amazing level of technological progress and we can’t even actually appreciate because almost everything they claim it can do is a lie even though what it can do is amazing.

Sometimes we’re unsatisfied with a thing we made because when it only existed in our head, we saw all the things it could have been and when it’s done we know all the things that it isn’t, but we can’t see the way it expands into a million new things when someone else unpacks it in their head. 🖊️🦑

Frustrated little dude gripping a pencil saying “how do I pack this down into something I can actually share?” While swirling rainbows labeled “INFINITE POTENTIAL” float around them.

Little dude frowns at a tiny grey box, exclaiming “all that work for THIS?!”

Little dude shoves the grey box into another little guy’s hands; Frowning, stomping off, and saying “Here you go, I made this, it sucks.”

Second little dude cracks open the box, swirling rainbows project out onto their face.

Second little dude stares in awe at all the swirling rainbows now floating around them.

Everyone knows that "Preferences" should be found under Edit (because you edit them), under Tools (because they control the parameters of your tools), under General (because they are categorically broad), & under File (because a preference is a 'filing off' from a marble block of possibility)

Thank you to reddit poster N1ghthood for articulating so succinctly the case against replacing skilled workers with LLMs: "Currently, the only way to reliably use LLMs is to know the answer to the question before you ask it." (which sort of undermines the entire business case)

"to democratize art is not every person having a cute drawing made in seconds, to democratize art is every person having time and health to learn and make art if they chose to, and mainly to have the means to think and relate introspectively with art."

Reminds me of one of my first encounters with a Crow after moving to Ireland. Walking down blarney street, when a full heel of a sliced pan gracefully descended in front of me. I look up and there’s a crow sitting on a wire, full head tilt on and looking down at me like he’s expecting a thank you 😂😂
