I believe the big bang happens repeatedly, like a heartbeat. I'm another one of those bass-playing (nathanielflick.bandcamp.com/album/d…) UX Engineers (nathanielflick.com) who believes in accessibility and inclusion for all.

I can't think of one Billionaire who hasn't lost their mind, except the ones who give the money away.

Good question! I feel like Sam Altman has shown us you can be benevolent until you are a billionaire, then all bets are off.

A quick google search reckons once you hit a Billion you acquire Moral distortion: Predatory actions get rationalized as normal behavior. Among other things (isolation breeds an irrational view on the world).

There must be a redline test for how much money someone is worth vs when they lose their ability to think rationally.

I'm very tempted to ditch Instagram too. It's full of doom and gloom (much of it real, from the States) and I need to not get sucked in to that anymore.

Mr. Altman is so confused, first he was "please regulate us" and now he's saying "just deal with it". Lame.

It's so funny, National was agreeing with no new roads a couple of weeks ago and now they are back to banging on the same ol drum. I guess we're just going to burn gas until we run out?

Accidental or not, making me wait for a window to close is a dark pattern - especially if it's a free or paid offer/feature.

"Growth" is what keeps getting us in trouble. It's investing in our industries that matters, growth is a capitalist concept that is limited by resources and is a bad target to chase.

People laugh at me, but I refuse to update my iPhone to the latest OS until they stop messing with the UI so egregiously.

Looks like with the DMCAs they are leaning into the "any attention is good attention" principle.

Nothing I hate more than someone who makes a mistake and then doesn't own up to it.

@spavel.bsky.social Loved your post: "No amount of velocity can shield your team from opportunity cost". Brilliant analysis. AI is a race to the bottom (speed) and won't have much to do with actually giving users what they really need (quality). productpicnic.beehiiv.com/p/no-amount-...

Interesting, yes! An artist works in their own constraints, designers work in other's constraints.

I agree. I feel it's an unnecessary subdivision to call it slow jogging.

Yeah the only thing I can think to do in this situation is educate the client, but that comes with it's own pitfalls. AI sets expectations in the wrong direction, I think.

Nathaniel/Natanahira (he/him) @nathanielflick.bsky.social · 27/09/2026
It's baffling that they would choose you for your style and then throw ai slop at you and say "do this". Might not be great clients to work with anyway?
