“You can see the computer age everywhere but in the productivity statistics.” - Robert Solow, 1987 “Many observers of recent trends in the industrialized economies of the West have been perplexed by the conjecture of rapid technological innovation with disappointingly slow gains
real productivity gains for prior technological advances came not from individual workers learning to use eg electricity, the internet but entire workflows, factories, processes, businesses being set up around the use of new tools (in other words, management)

But what is the next phase for a sphincter logo? My least favorite: - OpenAI “Aperture Science” sphincter - Anthropic “Art Attack” sphincter - Perplexity “TIE fighter” sphincter All worse than free stock vectors
Founder mode vs manager mode made visible in logos. Cracker Barrel is just the latest instance.

Oh man, this is nasty. Is this AI “Step Mom” what Zuck meant by “personal superintelligence”?

A quick mockup of what “bringing beauty to billions” will probably look like:

Mr Beyer lacks empathy and it shows. The terms “discoverable” and “web search” aren’t easily understood by non-tech folks, as @simonw and others note. The distinction between publishing a “public” link to share it with known recipients (privacy via obscurity) vs TOTALLY PUBLIC to

We’re designers who code and it’s still a pain. Our suboptimal workflow: draft ~70% of UI in Figma > iron out the rest in code > back & forth to keep Figma in sync (but it’s never fully in sync) Feels better to sculpt in the native/living/interactive medium for many reasons, but
Can’t believe there is no good way to translate a figma design to html/css with perfect fidelity. I don’t care about react. Or even maintainable code. Just give me the css and html/images/svg that perfectly recreate it. Doesn’t exist.

Pretty cool to be a part of this Arctic archival effort, stored just a mile away from the Global Seed Vault. Who knows if future people will ever read the code? My take-home assignment for Modulz went into the Arctic vault. (Changing my GitHub handle might’ve broken the badge
If you see a github user with this badge it’s because they have code ~1,000 feet underground in the Arctic Circle. 5 years ago Github took a snapshot of all public repos, stored it on photographic film (essentially big QR codes), and stuck it in a mining tunnel.

I’d like to see a cultural counterpoint to Black Mirror, but today’s smart creative optimists don’t write fiction when they can work in tech directly. Leaving anti-tech low-agency romantics to fill speculative pop culture with silly cynical dystopia porn or naive solarpunk.
we should all feel an obligation to tell stories about a human future that we actually want to be a part of.
