CEO: I think I did a harassment
GC: You what
CEO: Like one of those harassment sex things you do the really long power points about
GC: Okay. Okay. Let’s talk about it
CEO: But I think it’s okay

Really fascinating look at redesigning everyday things for women, from guitars to crash dummies. And my favourite line from the piece: "Women are not just smaller versions of men." edition.cnn.com/interactive/...

10 pivotal product redesigns for women

A “shrink it and pink it” approach has often been used to adapt products for women. But these reimagined objects challenge an inherent gender bias in design, while showcasing true innovation.

This whole section really.

Finally: AI cannot do your job, but an AI salesman can 100% convince your boss to fire you and replace you with an AI that can't do your job, and when the bubble bursts, the money-hemorrhaging "foundation models" will be shut off and we'll lose the AI that can't do your job, and you will be long gone, retrained or retired or "discouraged" and out of the labor market, and no one will do your job.
AI is the asbestos we are shoveling into the walls of our society and our descendants will be digging it out for generations:

I completely missed that Tyler Vigen's "Spurious Correlations" project now also show AI-generated explanations and images as well as full, completely fake research papers. What could possibly go wrong?

There is this gem.

Cover of a paper titled “Can apparent superluminal neutrino speeds be explained as a quantum weak measurement?”, the content of the paper is “probably not”

I pre-launched a #datavis course in Portuguese (pt-pt), covering from curiosity to how-bad-bar-charts-are, and beyond. I'm not aware of more online #datavis courses here, not sure if there is no offer or no demand. If you understand Portuguese, please take a look.

It's always weird why my battery gets drained. Notes???

Technically, failing those AI generated homework will help train the next gen of AI models that will pass everything with flying colors. Students will then pay a small fortune to push a button for four years.

Roxane Gay @roxanegay.bsky.social · 16d

I cannot tell you how grim the AI in higher ed situation is. Many of the students have completely surrendered to letting AI do their homework, badly, I might add. How do you fix this? Truly, what the hell do we do, beyond what grading can address, which isn't a solution?
