I use AI daily in pretty much every aspect of my work. The teams I lead are transforming yesterday’s tech into AI-first future. But seeing those numbers makes me think of recklessness & opportunity cost. What else could we achieve with this kind of spending? www.linkedin.com/posts/steven...

Linear pojmenoval jednoho ze svých agentů ‘Codegen’ a druhého ‘Chatprd’. Asi u nich nikdo nemluví česky. 💁 Co by na to řekl Jan Tleskač?

Companies deploying AI to gain efficiency* will reinvest the saved £££ into better working conditions, shorter work week, better customer benefits and through doing so inch us closer to the utopia**

Cool interview. As an owner of 4 speakers, I’m biased, but A) I’m very disappointed by the Symfonisk demise. It was such a cool, well-designed product. An embedded computing dream B) the app release - I’d *LOVE* to be a fly on the wall in those usability sessions that gave them false confidence

Every (tech) company who thinks they can get away with (employee-centric) culture as AI drastically changes the market power leverage is in the FA stage. I’m already stocking up with popcorn for the inevitable FO segue.

Chief among the Ring's powers is its ability to deceive.

I have a real problem with AI product review summaries. But it's not about the method (AI) but about the concept. Summaries iron out the little details of individual experience, because, well, by definition they are summaries. 1/4 🧵

Gosh that’s wrong on so many levels. Financials, ethics, responsibility and accountability aside (I know…), the difference is if so hired a real person I don’t need to prompt them about every single thing. Instead, 1/2

Even a roll of dynamite makes funky little sparks and fireworkses before it self-immolates and self-destructs. We just need to ensure not to stand too close when it finally goes off.

“If I had asked people what they wanted, they would have said faster horses,” is fake. The real quote was “If I had asked horses what they wanted, they would have said faster people.” And it wasn't Henry Ford who said it, but 19th century agricultural engineer Heinrich Ford-Brod from Silesia.

I saw some takes like ‘he blew his chances’ - c’mon, let’s be serious for a moment. This was choreographed and well thought through. A very deliberate. Just a theatre. There were no chances to start with.

I'm starting to see a lot of posts around #AI failing to generate profits. I think we're seeing a Post-it effect. Hear me out. Back in 1968, at 3M, a gentleman called Spencer Silver set out to create a super glue. But the outcome was one of the weakest glues ever 🙈

I get why a lot of Ui designers rave about well-organised, componentised, super-clean Figma files. I’ve been there, done that looong ago (not in Figma, it didn’t exist at the time). And I’m here again, wrapping a project I’ve been hands on for over a year. Yes, it is weirdly satisfying.

I encountered multiple 0 to 1 startups that asked for a design system as part of the initial product/design work. My advice to founders Case 1) Build with an existing DS tied to a js framework *IF* - you're building a prototype - your thing has no ties to unique identity - speed is of the essence

I'm wrapping up #productdesign and #UX work for an insurtech startup client I started working with ~ a year ago. It's so satisfying to see things go live and the business lift off the ground, but it's also sad to start leaving.
