AI is a real workplace game changer. People who previously were bad at their jobs are still bad but are able to produce 15-page reports on any given topic, every day.

Okay, now be honest: who attends Web Summit, really? 👀 Do you go? Have you been? Will you go this year(again?)? Is that just an overhyped mass event or is it really the place to be? And for whom?

Yesterday I read a draft of a blog post from my colleague. it was well written and funny. I still keep thinking about it because of a quality I couldn‘t pinpoint until now. Well. It was clear that he did not use AI to think, write, or edit this piece and so it had his voice and style.

cabo verde held both world cup finalists to a draw across 90 minutes and almost took argentina to penalties, easily the best performance anyone has put up against either team all world cup

There must be a German word for when you learned song lyrics before you learned English and then a few decades later you’re hit with the sudden epiphany that they actually mean something, and usually it’s something really dirty 😳

What’s a word or phrase you grew up saying that you didn’t realize was wrong until you were too old? Mine was “Chester drawers.” My Southern mom called it that my entire childhood, so I just accepted that Chester invented drawers. I was in my mid 20s before someone slowly said “chest of drawers.”

And another example of why user research is increasingly crucial. Had any dogs been consulted here, we’d learn that it’s awfully difficult to choose „1:30” on the controls using your nose. Height is not everything!!! As you see, no dogs are using this microwave 😭

And that’s why user research is so important. Had any dogs been consulted, we’d have learned that they don’t se the color red and therefore can’t know that it’s forbidden to pee on the Russian embassy fence.

A small sign attached to a stone wall shows a black dog lifting its leg to urinate, crossed out with a large red X. Dark wet stains run down the wall beneath the sign, suggesting dogs have repeatedly ignored the warning. The wall appears to be part of a fenced fence property beside a sidewalk.
