“There’s a spicy article to be written about how much better videogames are doing at accessibility than consumer/enterprise tech. Look at Naughty Dog shipping fast follow improvements to what is already widely heralded as the most accessible AAA title of all time!”

“(digital) product design one of the most inward looking parts of the design industry it’s nuts. many won’t even bother look at other sectors of graphic design let alone games”

So I've been tracking emerging AI cults. Whether it's people worshipping a jailbroken AI, forming emotional or ideological bonds with them, or groups that have sprung up to build an AI to complete a specific goal.They're happening, but all of them are human-first social groups. https://t.co/tXHsf4yMIW— Ryan Broderick (@broderick) April 4, 2023

thing is he's also courageous. and the problem with most smart people is that they are not courageous. and so they come up with very elaborate explanations for why they are not doing the most important thing on their plate. but the deeper reason is that they're scared.— Visakan Veerasamy (@visakanv) April 1, 2023

“I have zero context how or why this lovely, delicate animation was approved by leadership. But I'm 98% certain it wasn't pitched with business impact jargon. Instead someone probably advocated hard for delight — or simply showed leadership what sheer delight feels like.”

New work: Brand identity and logo design for @eigenlayerThe identity features interchangeable wordmarks—intended to look and feel similar to each other, but are different in orientation and alignment—as well as symbol counterparts with its own codified visual system. pic.twitter.com/R5BL3f1qcA— adam ho (@omgadamho) March 16, 2023

Noticing an increase in people using data attributes for customising styling on elements. I've always really liked this approach. Easier to read and avoids class string construction chaos 🤷‍♂️ pic.twitter.com/luZbbCwut0— Thomas Cullen (@thomasauros) February 22, 2023

Late night interactions fun in @spline and @framer As always, it's about the subtle things I enjoy the most...I haven't had a design tool open for 2 months (!), feels good to be back.

LLMs are highly non-deterministic, which presents a huge design challenge: we've never built non-deterministic software, it's always been based off of branching logic and restricted options (hence: the GUI)— Neal Khosla (@nealkhosla) February 25, 2023

It’s monochromatic to reflect a lithograph, vintage considering the crosshatching strokes to shade. Everyone else is right - I’d say this is vintage-poster-1940s Americana & Mid-Century style without abstract shapes. And the lettering adheres to 1930s.Aka IONO VINTAGE 🤷‍♂️— freshletters (@freshletters_) February 22, 2023
