I really hate the framing of these stories as "an AI agent broke out and hacked something." No, an inadequate sandbox meant that a powerful and unpredictable computer program was set loose on the open internet by the company that designed it. The agency isn't with the "AI agent", it's with the firm

@erikahall.bsky.social I was made aware of PDX "Werid Fest" and the Chicken Beauty Contest over the weekend and *immediately* thought of you. It's Sep 19 just in case you feel the urge to get some Clickens inspo...

I was watching the news while getting ready for work but nobody knew what was really happening yet. Got in the car to go to work with NPR on, heard a plane hit the second tower, turned around, called out, and watched the news while numb.

The predictable Discourse is starting and I'm going to take a strong stand here: you can both want to abolish ICE and laugh really, really hard at Milo Yiannopoulos getting arrested by ICE after a decade of stoking the ethnonationalist hatred that led us to this point

thinking about how they were having to fire & arrest people to try to bully them into being sad about some of these fuckers, and if you want the whole world to stop and grieve your loss, there's one simple life hack: be a good person who just wants to do good things

"...attempting to deliver design “wisdom” while your mouth is still attached to a tech oligarch’s asshole is both messy and difficult to understand, and I’d appreciate an Altoid or a mint before you did it." Goddamn, that Mike Monteiro sure can turn a phrase.

Every time you check out a library book instead of ordering from Amazon, ask a friend instead of an LLM, cook a meal instead of ordering from an app, or go for a walk instead of scrolling social media, you interrupt the cash flows of insane CEOs. Do it! Ruin their day!

I lived in San Diego so we all had fake ids at 16 and were dancing on speakers at Senor Frog's, drinking upside down margaritas til the sun came up, then stumbling across the bridge to the US and a full day of high school reeking of clove cigarettes and bad decisions. Good times.

I made my adult nephew watch an episode of H.R. Puffenstuff and when it was over he sat quietly for a couple of minutes, then turned slowly to me and just said "Tia. What. The. Fuck?" in absolute shock and horror😆

"Bitter people don’t start stealing furniture from work when upcoming layoffs are announced. Petty people do." When I was in design school I was working on a CD-ROM project and found I wasn't getting paid. And that's the story of how I got my first shoebox sized 1 gig hard drive. Viva la petty! ✊

Public domain work exists. Fair use exists. Creative commons exists. Stock art exists. Making a fucked up little sketch in any app with drawing tools exists. No reason to be gleefully complicit in exploitation for a muddy cartoon.

I used to love tracing my way along an actual map on road trips and not just waiting for my GPS to tell me where to turn. It made it feel more like an adventure. (I do *not* however miss geting lost in downtown Los Angeles and trying to find the right page in my Thomas Bros guide though)

So, *so* relaxing. (Except when you're fighting with InDesign over a stupid software quirk.) Also, when you're done laying out a book, you have something you can hold in your hands and not worry about someone else immediately adding a giant purple and lime green button where one is not needed.
