AI Ethics for Designers π₯
Dear Reader,
You can use generative AI ethically.
To date, I haven't heard a sound approach for dealing with the ethics of Chat GPT, so I was keen to hear this month's meetup, AI Ethics for Designers, by Pete Armitage...especially since Pete is a UX writer.
How would an ethics expert and UX writer think about Chat GPT?

My takeaways:
- Without transparency reports, ethics commitments are hollow
- We should hold AI tools to higher standards than humans
- Anonymize your Chat GPT data with Amnesiaβ
Oppenheimer and Barbie premiere tonight, and somebody finally made a "Barbenheimer" trailer:
βWatch the Barbenheimer trailer hereβ
Some people suggest seeing both movies in one night, and there are guides about which order to see them and why. I think it's safe to say this "double-premiere" thing was an organic meme thing because the studios don't appear to have really embraced it. I shudder to think of the marketing execs meeting in board rooms to plan co-premieres at this very moment. I kinda feel like anyone that watches Barbie and Oppenheimer on the same night is going to get a raw glimpse into the belly of the beast that is late-stage capitalism. Which brings me to my next question: are you more of a Barbie or an Oppenheimer person?

7 Tells that a UI is AI-Generated by Jeff Humble Dear Reader, You can see a vibe-coded app from a mile away, if you know what to look for. Here are seven design patterns that scream amateur vibe coder. Learn them, avoid them, and stay above the rising tide of slop, my friends. 1. Neon color palette from IceWhistle If it's vibe-coded, it's gotta be neon. To slop this one up to the max, use 5+ neon colors and never pick a single one to focus. Why AI loves it: Neon-on-dark is overrepresented in...
The brief that keeps changing By Hannah Baker Dear Reader, Thereβs a particular kind of exhaustion I keep hearing about. Itβs not burnout, exactly. Itβs not being overworked. Itβs something more specific, the feeling of being asked to plan something when the thing youβre planning for keeps shifting underneath you. Iβve been hearing it a lot lately. And more and more, it has AI somewhere in the middle of it. Hereβs a version of a situation I keep encountering. Someone is working on two large...
OpenClaw Part 2: The π¦ didn't replace Claude. It made me laugh instead. by Jeff Humble Dear Designer, In Part 1, I spent β¬590 on a Mac Mini, two days in Terminal, and $3.14 in API tokens I didn't mean to burn. I ended with a list of seven things I was going to automate with my OpenClaw agent π¦. I only got to one of them. Getting an AI agent from zero to useful takes longer than any article will tell you. Most of the time since then has gone into figuring out how to make it reliable, not into...
