"Promoting will draw from your AI credit balance starting Oct 6." so does that mean after oct 6 i'll be able to disable the Agents tab in the sidebar, @figma.bsky.social ? that sure would be swell

Once again asking Bluesky developers and mods to please for the love of all that is good to make it a site policy violation to run unannounced bots that interact with users and to provide a user control setting to preemptively block interactions from announced bots. This is a scourge on the site.

one fun endlessly frustrating thing about the current era: people look at exceptional work and think (or say): "wow, look at what you can do with ai" when actually it is pure skill, taste, and judgment making 95% of the decisions and ai has nothing to do with it.

i couldn't help myself, it's just so dumb
Someone soliciting me with: “I'm working with [redacted], a profitable voice AI company that grew from [redacted] in one year with a team of about 50.
They're hiring their first Senior Brand Designer to define the visual language of the category across web, launches, social, events, and sales collateral, reporting directly to the Chief Product Officer.

The role is remote across the United States and Canada and follows a six-day schedule, Monday-Friday plus Sunday. Visa sponsorship and transfers are available.

Comp: $190K-$240K Base + Significant Equity & Benefits
my reply: “I ’m not a brand designer, and you need to remove this email from your list because it’s not for inbounds, but convey to the company that they’d have to pay a hell of a lot more if they want someone to work on Sunday. Batshit crazy behavior, truly.”

Here's another suffering thought: Good designers leave threads in their design systems so that they can easily build onto them when the need arises. You should almost never be designing for the present, but for 2 to 3 steps ahead of where you actually are.

“Now why is it not opt-in?” said Minton. “That’s what everybody here is spamming in chat. I get it. ‘Let me opt in versus making me opt out.’ There’s an honest answer, and I think most of you can probably appreciate this: If it was opt-in, nobody would opt in. That’s honestly the answer.”

This was followed by a torrent of all-caps chat responses that included “THEN DON’T ROLL IT OUT,” “SO WHY EVEN DO IT,” and “IF NO ONE WOULD OPT IN THAT MEANS NO ONE WANTS IT.”

11年の経歴を持つ、日英ゲーム翻訳者です。機密保持契約書でどのクライアントだったか特定できないんですけど、近年発売された、結構人気のゲームのローカライズ資料を納品してから、その開発社が独自のAI翻訳ツールを発表しました。使われた画像などからして私たちの英訳が使用された可能性が極めて高くて、ツールの存在を知ったら激怒しなかったと言ったら嘘になりますね。他のケースもあるかもしれませんけど、確認したのはそれだけです。 翻訳過程自体が一年以上かかった、数百万字程度の巨大な脚本だから、こんな結末になると思ったら誰も長い間努力する気はなかったでしょう。クリエイティブとして尊敬されていない感じです…

Email: we're hiring a senior designer for a new team at a frontier AI lab (probably the AI you use every day!).

The goal is to teach the model design taste. You'd work directly with the researcher leading design to find where the model fails -- typography, layout, hierarchy, brand -- and fix it.

Best fit: excellent fundamentals and broad range -- you've shipped brand or product work end-to-end at product companies or top studios. Heavy AI experience not required -- curiosity is, and they're happy to teach the research side.

$250/hr, 20-40 hrs/week, 6-12 months, remote.

To apply, just reply with your portfolio. If it's a good fit, I'll send the full JD + my calendar link!

Reply: Teaching design to AI so that other companies can lay off designers would eat away at my soul.

No thanks.

Astonishing. RFK Jr. adds 8 members to a 6 member FDA advisory panel. 6 of them were sellers of peptides, and the 7th a compounding pharmacist. In an 8-6 vote with all 8 votes coming from these new panel members, the panel approved 4 peptides against the objections of FDA scientists.

FDA Panel Supports Lifting Restrictions on Four Peptides (Gift Article)
In an all-day hearing, the agency’s scientists argued against allowing broad access to unproven drugs that the agency had banned three years ago.

Reading that whole OpenAI post describing them unleashing a bunch of bots on Hugging Face as an "unprecedented cyber incident," is a master class in marketing. Lol and branding what happened as OpenAI now working to "help calibrate on what models are now capable of" is top notch propaganda skills.

It’s worth noting that Taco Bell identified the source before the FDA did, and promptly pulled it from their stores. The FDA didn’t even name the source until Taylor Farms outed themselves, and hasn’t issued a recall. Basically, Taco Bell is now a more reliable authority than the FDA.

I think underrated in this is the SV “entrepreneurial” psyche, which selects for folks who consistently choose to be on the side of what they expect will be the likely winners. A world of weak-minded opportunists. The greatest lie they tell is their preference for those who cut against the grain.
