As folks gear up for the new semester, a reminder if anyone needs it, my Ai statement is available for people to make use of in their own materials. It’s downloadable and printable from my site here spinweaveandcut.com/fall-2025-sy...

a snippet of a mini-comic, at top - straight line stretches from point A to B. Immediately below, same dot at A, then becomes a curving, meandering line that winds through the page and ends at a point with rays and a question mark emanating from it. Text reads: "Nothing can do this for you - for that robs you of experience and conflates answers with learning. Rather, it's all the decisions you make along the way, the mistakes, struggles, and surprises! These pathways you create - this is learning.

About the ego boost when you get your AI tool to admit they made a mistake in a previous answer: is it by design, built in?

After over 3 years of layoffs, I’ve felt this year was the tipping point where it seems most people in tech are now burned out on the industry. AI is the missing ingredient which has now made working in tech simultaneously exciting and an excruciating ordeal. It looks like the feeling is widespread

4/5: cette bonification des déjà-là est sans doute le fruit de la socialisation inversée qui fait que les parents et grands-parents sont sensibilisés par leurs enfants et petits-enfants (sur le genre, le climat, les droits LGBT)

Depuis quand avons-nous commencé à dire "les personnels" au lieu de "les membres du personnel" ? Et est-ce que ça vient de ministres macronistes biberonnés chez McKinsey ?

1/12 La récurrence obsessionnelle des signifiants " bien-pensance ", " wokisme ", " islamo-gauchisme" chez les droites radicales n’est pas un argument : c’est un symptôme de saturation argumentative et de régression du champ du débat d' IDEES vers la nomination strictement disqualifiante.

Domain-specific solutions require you to understand the problem, which requires domain expertise and/or user research. But that requires decision-makers to admit ignorance. Bolting an LLM onto every product doesn't require understanding the problem AND makes investors happy you're "innovating."

As someone very critical of AI, I'm pretty depressed that most critics don't seem to understand thar there's no experiance more perfectly personalized and targetable for ad tech than a chat box where you're telling a machine what you want.

It's amazing to have the book in my hand now, after several years of working on it with Kasper and Per Ola. In a nutshell, it's a new textbook for introductory-level HCI courses: ✅ 10 parts, covering the whole HCI process ✅ 864 pages and 1.9 kgs ✅ Open access (!)

Every designer and programmer you’ve ever met has had to turn down some fucking asshole’s “killer app” idea where they asked us to work for free, for the exposure, and we said no instantly because the idea was self evidently bad. That’s why there’s a demand for AI. To realize terrible ideas.

A big problem I have with all the AI boosters is when they say things like, "if you just use them right, they're great!" Buddy, after 30 years in tech I can tell you that the one thing people will NOT do is use anything right.

The most important UX skill in live meetings is not facilitation. It's elicitation. The ability to actively listen, allow people to participate in the way that's comfortable for them, and strategically ask questions that guide toward better understanding. That sometimes means ignoring the agenda.

'Support humane managers....As a sector, we have a habit of appointing narcissists & sociopaths to senior roles...When we do get humane managers...they deserve...support even if we don’t agree with every decision.

On a tous appris que "anticonstitutionnellement" était le mot le plus long de la langue française, on a lu la définition, des exemples de phrases en contexte. Et voilà que des années plus tard, enfin, on peut l'utiliser dans plein de conversations.

I really think there’s too little attention being paid to the changes in usability — paid accounts getting pushed to the top, algorithm changes, MASSIVE ad load, the disappearance of verification. Like … it’s not that the political mix hasn’t changed, but many other things have changed too.
