You know this is my third or fourth go around with this kind of technological innovation for consumers and citizens. And a lot of it is the same. Same pattern of exaggerated benefits, underestimated challenges. What’s new this time is the sector isn’t even pretending to care about the consumer.

you will encounter more opportunities in life to change the batteries on a smoke alarm than you will to run into a burning building and no one gives a shit you changed those batteries but it is still very important and why are you waiting on a burning building, know what i’m saying, it’s a metaphor

I think what's driving the poor AI marketing is two fold both caused by the culture that has developed in SV 1. The tech industry is dry on hyper growth idea after years of building investor expectations of hyper growth. So they are desperate. 2. Tech investors and leaders are weird af.

In my mind, I am imagining a particular shade, a certain specific color, an ineffable hue. If, by chance, you come to me draped in a robe, your garment dyed with a pigment that matches _precisely_ the tint I have imagined, then —only then!— will you be hired. I pray fortune finds you worthy.

Inclusive design teaches us about alternate input modalities, and loves to use "holding a newborn with one hand" as an example, but I think there is also room for "your needy dog thinks using the trackpad is petting the laptop and gets jealous."

I was a 30 year old high school teacher on 9/11. Please miss me forever on talk about how it "united" us. I spent the year fighting with casually islamophic coworkers (teachers!) and principals who were staging classroom "anthrax drills." It brought out the worst in the worst people.
