Last term I tried an experiment: I walked into my Tech and Design Ethics class, admitted that I had *no idea* what to do about ChatGPT - so I would let them figure it out. As in: their first project was to decide and write the ChatGPT policy for the class. Here's what happened:

I reiterate: any design thing by Trump (or Big Balls) is just ripping down something that previously worked and replacing it with something less accessible to Americans (and thus illegal under Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act)

So it turns out... the US air travel system was incredibly, deeply dependent on federal funding to just run day-to-day all this time, to the benefit of private airline shareholders, when everyone thinks that state-run trains are leeching off the government. Weird!

A reddit screenshot of a popular r/handbag post asking “What bag is she wearing?,” the reference image being the NY woman who went viral last week for fighting off ICE. She’s pictured standing in front a military vehicle, flipping it off, in a work dress, purse on her shoulder.

SOMEONE COOKED ON THE CALIFORNIA BENEFITS APPLICATION

A benefits application webpage with the first question being: “let’s start by getting to know a bit about you. How are you feeling about the application process?”

Users are given 3 options: a green smiley labeled “good”, an orange neutral face labeled “just okay”, and a red frowning face labeled “nervous”.

The same webpage with the “nervous” option selected, which prompts a message saying, “You’re not alone. We’re going to walk you through every step. Plus, there a plenty of help tools along the way. You got this.”

114: The most common design tool within your organization is Excel, followed by Powerpoint, because that is where decisions are made and distributed. Your super cool research report in Confluence, or neat prototype in Figma, is not nearly as accessible to PMs used to emailing files back and forth.

104: The quality of design work is always going to be a function of its environment. Because the environment in most places is bad, your biggest impacts will come from improving the environment rather than your individual process.

96: In theory, most decisions are reversible. In practice, few are reversed - because we no longer remember why we made those decisions. Maintain decision provenance so if your research invalidates underlying assumptions, the decision can be changed.

91: Behavior change is at the core of any impact of your work. What are people going to do differently as a result of the feature? What can they do with this information that they couldn't before? If the only change is "they will use it" then you probably shouldn't build the feature.

UX fact number five: The exact same techniques that can be applied to a product to make it a better product, can be applied to your process to make it better at creating better products. Above the mid-senior level, this is what the work is about.
