You may remember me from Twitter. Still talking about UX stuff. Funemployed. @khuh.bsky.social Mondays @ noon Pacific. Defend trans kids.

Thesis: Generative AI is awful in so so many ways Antithesis: I generated an image of JK Rowling roasting Idi Amin with Pinochet laughing at the jokes Synthesis: Yeah, AI, JK Rowling, and brutal despots all belong in the bin

A state house candidate who took money from OpenAI and Anthropic sent out an "I'm not owned by AI companies" mailer that is some incredible "raises questions that were already answered by my t-shirt" energy

I don't even know what to say. This is real, this is true, so, like, thank you all, from the bottom of my heart. This took over 25 years to happen so if there's any lesson here it's either "keep at it, who knows" or "many people are divorced"

image of a gold record superimposed on part of Vaughan Oliver's iconic cover for the Mountain Goats' "Tallahassee" album, with a banner beneath it showing the entire album cover, an RIAA seal, and the text: Presented to THE MOUNTAIN GOATS to commemorate the RIAA Gold certification of more than 500,000 copies of the 4AD single "No Children"

Putting together an interview I did with a cool-ass musician and people, we way overdid it on STEM We were so busy making comp sci majors that would get their jobs cannibalized for AI that we didn't teach them art, music, writing, personal expression

This may be a good time to remind people that trans people in sports has always been normal until recently with SCOTUS. Both parties are fighting to take rights away. Any Democrat that pretends to be “neutral” on this is a liar. There is no neutral. You enabled fascists and took away rights.

Side note to the handful of people who follow me in the 46th district: Wil Dreher is taking wads of cash from AI companies. He's not that guy. Ron Davis is the progressive candidate. If Dreher gets through, Pollet is probably the better option given he's not owned by Big Tech

Bluesky is a "liberal bubble" because fascist chuds can't get traction without algorithmic assistance and because people here trained themselves to block "debate me" trybois the instant they roll up

Bluesky's new CEO Toni Schneider on the platform's reputation for being a liberal bubble: "Yes, we definitely want that to change. It is already changing. It certainly wasn’t designed to attract one specific group of people."
