2️⃣ Empathy is a radical act: If we fail to consider perspectives of different people, we build systems that exclude them—and eventually us as we age. Empathy isn’t about designing for someone else at our own expense, but recognising our well-being is inextricably linked to that of everyone around us.

‘An LLM does not have agency. Full stop. But this does not mean that it is “just” a tool that’ll do exactly what you ask, and no more. Like any tool, LLMs are designed to behave in a particular way and do a particular thing.’

“You should question whether there’s a sustainable business model for these labs. You should question those who argue that we have to build recklessly or lose to China. You should question those who don’t take seriously the prospect that China doesn’t want to slow down.”

"Benches are where optimistic visions of civic life meet reality. To remove them, or to curate who gets to sit, is to abandon the work of defining a civic ideal and determining, together, how to live up to it." NEW: Why benches are slowly disappearing from public spaces — and why we need them back:
placesjournal.org
The Disappearance of the Public Bench
Benches are microcosms of an expansive debate about who belongs in urban public spaces. When they are removed or made uninviting, we lose more than just a place to rest.

If you do not understand what your feature helps people accomplish: - you cannot test if it is complete - you cannot test if it is effective - you cannot tell whether or not new additions are core to the objective or distractions - you cannot defend against cuts that go too deep
