Ai is flattening knowledge workers’ professional, and dare I say personal, identities. I’m looking for 5 US-based creatives who want to get together, an hour once a week, to talk about what’s going on for you. The point I want to make is that you’re not alone in it.

The phenomenon of technological shifts isn’t new, but the speed of which this is happening, is.

Are you a designer or creative professional who’s also feeling confused by the whole thing? Let’s talk about it.

Some people photograph other people. I prefer buildings- because they can’t punch you in the face. #vsco #architecture #citysong

Few markers of old age and imagined grandiosity are as strong as the use of “quarter century.”

Being a creative thinker/problem solver that's able to zoom out and look at the problem from a higher view is, I think, what AI is enabling. As toolkits collapse, we can all focus on more important questions like "How do we solve this problem in the best possible way?"

Funfold (verb, noun): As a verb: to let enjoyment emerge through gradual discovery; to open up to something in a way where fun reveals itself layer by layer rather than all at once. Example usage: “The project didn’t start out exciting, but once we stopped forcing it, it began to funfold.”

#adobefirefly isn't all that bad if you give it some encouragement. Here's a decently enough restored 1850s glass plate negative I bought in France over a decade ago. @Adobe

The more you scream into the void, the more you'll realize the void screams back.

Adding a custom ai-powered chatbot on your portfolio, while not displaying any design work, isn't the right way to show you care about design.

Using ChatGPT Atlas for the agentic features is fun, but having a quick search turn into a new chat is incredibly annoying.

There are no definitive answers, just the learnings you've made and the ability to believe in the truth of those experiences.
