Maybe unintentional from management, the designer knew exactly what message they were sending.

I think this is also why execs think it can be used everywhere, not close enough to the details of anything (plus the incentive of claiming cost cutting)

TBF, scams are also designed. I mean, you actually probably need more design for the scam than the honest business.

I'm of the opinion that growth and disruption cycles are more exciting for UX and product folks. Now feels like just value extraction (from both customers and employees), so much less interesting. Enshitification across the board.

Yes! Every deferred decision just pushes the pain downstream (either to another internal team, or eventually, the customer)

Oh man, that one is pretty far down the list for me. They've made so many incredible films and I love their ability to make the setting another main character.

Loading content or ads? I'm guessing this is a feature, not a bug. Dynamic rotating impressions and mistaken clicks = $$$ in ad revenue.

I think just changing the nomenclature from "artificial intelligence" to "stupid translator" would be much more accurate to the service provided, but marketing would never go for it.

Bullshit. It's nothing but derivative slop in popular semantic patterns. You may as well pin your hopes and dreams on a dyslexic xerox machine.

Glad to hear she's doing so well. One of our cats also suffers from resorption, she will be going for her 3rd round of extractions soon (we're waiting for her to stabilize following radioactive iodine treatment for hyperthyroidism).

The reverse correlation of how mgmt thinks of people vs tech amazes me.
The tech can make a ton of mistakes, but that's OK, it will magically get better someday. To hire a person they must prove they have solved your exact problem before and 100% guaranteed to be successful on day one.

The thing that bugs me as an obvious flaw is the reliance on expensive mountains of quant data to give the illusion of "understanding."
I've always considered key aspects of intelligence to be causal inference and successful application of learning across domains. Don't see a path to that with LLM.

"The fact that many people can't remember how to extract square roots doesn't mean that pocket calculators are more intelligent than they." 💯

"productive friction" is a phrasing I picked up on several years ago and have since worked it into almost every design conversation. Pushing problems downstream with interest is another facet of enshittification, improving your team's metrics by sabotaging a different team.

From my admittedly limited perspective, it seems like our universities in general have shifted from being institutions of intellectual inquiry to vocational schools, leading to this tendency to acquiesce. I can't blame this one on MAGA, feels like it's been devolving for a long time.
