Chatbots vond ik al treurig. Nu is daar ook bewijs voor.

Another super relevant set of guidelines to work with

While the idea is nice: own your time, don’t let notifications and managers own it. There is one important flaw though: the word billionaire. Becoming a billionaire is not a good idea, it is a ridiculous american dream.

Some excellent nerdy and niche HTML knowledge about the href attribute value.

Interesting case where a new feature is added to software because chatgpt tells people it exists while it doesn’t

Excellent lecture about resisting AI. > I want to conclude by emphasising that the proposition that the role of the university is to resist AI is not simply a defence of pedagogy, but an affirmation of the social importance of imagination.

Very interesting research into the effect of the common tools used in type design. Pretty much focused on type design, but should be translatable to web design as well.

Oof, depressing article about the collapse of education

PNG got an update with HDR as the most important update (I guess)

Brilliant, clever recursive animations

Depressing stats about using ridiculous amounts of energy

Observations about shrinking time, the idea that the computer didn’t give us more time, as promised, but instead filled our lives with micro tasks. We should leave the clock at the door in many situations, like the art/design classroom

Shocking article about the ‘hysterical obedience’ in Germany: > very common in Germany, that to be law-abiding means not merely to obey the laws but to act as though one were the legislator of the laws that one obeys.

Tips for enterprise UX. If we do this at CMD, this could be interesting

Very nice font for writing code

Some interesting ideas here, most notably that you should decide what the discussion is about. At the moment, silicon valley decides and that’s bad.

Your brain is less active when you use tools instead of just your brains. Not very shocking. Rather obvious.

Very interesting article about the idea that designer should make *(hone)* their own tools. Some quotes: > It is precisely the task of designers (graphic, industrial or whatever) to discover new possibilities. > Limitations and demands imposed by a client are easier to accept than the arbitrary limitations of your digital tools. > After all, programming graphic programs is much too important to leave to programmers. > Explorers, and that is what they are, do not want to do the same thing twice.

Interesting “brutalist” typefaces

Bovendien is het moeilijk voor te stellen hoe radicale gelijkwaardigheid eruitziet, het is onbekend terrein. Ik weet ook niet hoe een wereld zonder uitbuiting eruit zou zien, maar de huidige wereldorde leidt tot oorlog en geweld, dus het is het onderzoeken waard.

Brrrr, date in javascript is even worse than I thought. Ridiculous.

So there is no scientific proof that hsl is easier to use. But it does resemble the way human describe colours, much more than rgb.

> an independently researched and operated endeavor which primarily focuses on active, independent type designers and foundries.

Interessant, over een uitgestorven vorm van het Nederlands.
