This photograph is of an old Vespa, that is parked at the end of a residential street called 'Park Square West', in North West London. Its yellow paint is beginning to discolour, and it is slightly chipped around some parts of the scooter - further showing its age. The owner has left their orange helmet tucked at its base. The photo's backdrop is a beautiful private residential park, with vibrant green and purple trees that tower over the its black gates.

dubious to train your AI on work produced by jobs that you later claim never should have existed. noticing parallels between ML/AI and the Web3 space. an arrogance/delusion around what people believe a technology should ultimately replace, rather than what it can help to enhance.

as an artist, you must romanticize even the smallest aspects of life. it's imperative to the soul.

Slow design — via Little Arc

tech can become exclusionary when we insist on making it convoluted. when this happens: its benefits become far less accessible, and its shortcomings are potentially more harmful—precisely because key stakeholders do not have the opportunity to join the conversation.

the epitome of good design is how accessible something is. optimizing for disabled and neurodiverse communities is a proven net positive for society.

it’s also just morally sound, to ensure that people are not rendered incapable of safely participating in the world they live in

features such as haptics in video games, and in mobile applications are so important. human-computer interaction design starts with empathy, and demands a level of meticulousness that (I believe) can only be taught to a certain point.
