I spent a good four hours last night animating the logo I have on my portfolio
Overengineered? 100%
Was it worth it? Absolutely

Had a fun Sunday creating this animation

I find it very annoying when I take a screenshot and the app I'm in suggests I share the post instead. Just let me screenshot in peace. I'm never going to look at the screenshot again (and I'll forget why i took it in the first place) but I just like having the option...

My Chrome's background seems to be off by 1px lately and it's driving me crazy

LLMs having meltdowns like this might be the best thing I've read all week. Also me after a minor inconvenience

After many years of governments trying and failing to have backdoors built to access user data, this sets a concerning precedent for the future of everyone's privacy and security

Blender, Substance Painter and Unity all use different keys for navigating around a scene - it's a usability nightmare. 3D software creators, please standardize key mappings 🥹

Figma isn't really designed for animating components and all the solutions out there always feel hacky to me. Does anyone feel the same or am I just really bad at Figma?

Can AI agents help us understand the world? I wrote about using synthetic users for research, what they offer and what we miss 🤖

Synthetic Users. Research Without Users?
Synthetic users can streamline the research process, but can we trust them to be accurate?

there is shockingly poor awareness of the extent of AI hallucinations, especially in regards to searching - where many people assume that ChatGPT will correctly do all of the filtering for them instead of invent new facts out of thin air

and then those hallucinations embed themselves in human work
I am seriously concerned about the growing lack of discernment and critical thinking in regards to the large amounts of content generated by ChatGPT, AI image generators, conspiracy and misinformation websites, as well as AI services offering summaries of books, research, and articles.

I've been applying for jobs and have to say that the UX of job application forms is generally terrible. I decided to write a (somewhat ranty) post about it pabloespinosa.co/the-frustrat...

Thoughtful UX design can improve the job application experience. How do we make the process more inclusive and user-friendly?

The first of a series of paintings of London's buildings that, for some reason or another, I've found interesting or beautiful.

So the lifecycle of the Internet is having genuine spaces for human connection that eventually get captured by corporations, an army of bots and shitty viral posts until the spaces become zombielands. Then everything is reborn under a different logo. I'm glad to be witnessing it.
