@JackEric The thought did cross my mind earlier but I kind of dropped it as I kept working on the presentation... but now that you mention it it actually makes sense to bring this up towards the end... things will go wrong and we will need to evaluate them.

@sy Is the image description the prompt you used?
@sy Thanks, would it be okay to add this as a comment to the post?
It's good to give the complete picture of how different tools will fare on different prompts. The uncertainty of what tool will be able to do what is an important insight.
@mia Thanks, fixed it now in the online version (it went out as a newsletter as well 😅)
This is a typo that several people have reached out about now, haha.
@isotopp Thanks for the quick feedback! 🙏

Glad someone else is testing with Akkoma. I couldn't find the account either.
@danhon Good evening.
@dkmj They had a lot of first-mover advantage and of course have always been children of their time... My perhaps biggest criticism is an unwillingness to grow, acknowledge missteps and to listen to other voices, even as they preach how important it is to make those voices heard. This is an interesting one on Norman:

I've personally found Norman better at reasoning around potential weaknesses in his own thinking (I've interviewed him twice) but then slowly realised that he never acts on that seemingly sensible reasoning. In his later writings he is essentially saying that he got a lot of his early stuff wrong, but when doubling down on a flavor of co-creation and 'reinventing design education' I haven't seen examples of bringing that thinking to his own practice.
Nielsen's work I've always had a hard time understanding why people latch on to. So much of it is oversimplification and bold assertions based on data that is rarely supporting the exact conclusion he makes. I also take issue with how often he talks about IQ in ableist ways, which definitely biases me against him.
@dkmj That would be awesome. 😁
@devolute
Haha, that is exactly how I felt on the Thursday that I read it. "This will break my Friday planning...", and it did. Thanks for sharing!
@ElleGray I applaud your image description. 👏
@datarama I've just added it to my Kobo reader. Next in line to read.
@datarama Hard agree.
@troed 👍 Good point. Borders are definitely a challenge in thinking about how all this will play out.
@troed
I'll readily admit I'm drawn to the dystopian… and when I said inhabitable in this context I tend to mean more of a situation where everyday life is affected in ways that force us to significantly change how we live our lives, obtain food and manage energy sources – making debates about the advancement of generative AI inconsequential, especially given how it adds to the decay.
Here is one essay that advanced my concerns:

While I don't buy into the complete underlying narrative, I take to heart a great deal of its systems thinking, with a critical focus on the fragility of how we obtain our food. 😬
@Aubrie Done. Thank you for the feedback. 🙏
@kmdk Thank you Karen 🙏
@salixsericea
Love that analogy / thought experiment! Thank you! 😅
@jamesravey
@kcarruthers Very much so. I think perhaps he has been problematic the whole time, but some of it was 'forgiven' in the beginning, due to worship of some design ideas at the time.
