Bluesky should have auto alt text for accessibility. Maybe start with the iOS app using Apple's OCR support for recognizing text in images with the Vision framework. I think auto-OCR should be a default feature in all new apps.

The terrifying prospect that *every single droid* in the Star Wars universe is actually remote-controlled by a humanoid somewhere, because they someone couldn't back down from the sales pitch for AI robots.

I'm looking forward to the farm-subsidy-equivalent: AI pays me 5% to not use it.

I love to contrast Napster, internet archive, public libraries, etc. with arguments made for allowing companies with number averaging programs being allowed to steal all information so they can sell back the blended up outputs to us.

I made a video essay! It's a love letter to 3d software crammed in between several hate notes about 3d software companies. Maybe it can be something you put on in the background while you do art. :) www.youtube.com/watch?v=I4md...

Markets are already riven with risk, why introduce more volatility? Based on the efficiency of open source models and the progress from improving fundamentals has given, it seems like Softbank investing in hyperscale is a net negative for tech progress.

In any other time the biggest threat to the US government would have been the mild falls all the most senior politicians are taking. Simpler times.

The difficulty lies in the desire to treat color blindness like a feature flag instead of a design task. It’s too easy to get a task and throw a filter on instead of reconsidering how someone views the color hue and contrast.

There are plenty of scenarios in which spending time and money on features and options is the appropriate solution to barriers. But don't let yourself end up in a situation where you have spend money on them solely to compensate for unnecessarily exclusionary design choices.
