Short Answer: Fuck no.
Long Answer: If a company tries AI phrenology in their hiring process, they're guaranteed to do worse things once you work there. Don't.

Just a wee bit of “light” reading to keep the spookiness of the season going. And to see WTF 8x great aunt Ann Putnam Jr was smoking to fuel her finger pointing. #salemwitchtrials

Dept. Q is such a fantastic show. Some scenes are too hard to watch, but the suspense, humanity, and dark humour of the show is unmatched.

Found a venue for the next Side Quest!
Now I just need speakers... Anybody got a Side Project/Quest they want to talk about for 20 minutes on Sep 24 in London?
Also, anyone fancy throwing £500 to sponsor and provide some drinks for the attendees?

Life is like one big UX exercise isn’t it? You make plans, those plans change based on what’s actually happening, and you move forward. This season of life is all about UX-ing the HECK out of chronic health issues to make them more manageable. Let’s goooo!

When I met Ryan Coogler several years ago, we were standing in a group of people chatting, when a woman with visible hearing aids walked up, and he casually began to sign the whole conversation so she could participate. She mouthed “thank you”. He nodded and just kept doing his thing.
‘Sinners’ on Max Will Include a Black American Sign Language Version
‘Sinners’ on Max Will Include a Black American Sign Language Version
Max will debut Sinners in the U.S. on Friday July 4, when viewers will be able to watch it two ways: by 1) streaming the exact theatrically-released version, and 2) choosing Sinners in Black American Sign Language (BASL). It’s the first time a streaming service has interpreted a film into BASL, Warner Bros. says.

To get a #designsky discourse going: after making AI mandatory for work last month, Shopify is At It Again.
The CDO says since "AI enables anyone to make things usable" (lol), Shopify will just have the titles Designer and Writer instead of user experience, content design, etc.
Aesthetics-ass idea
