Treating intelligence as an external resource, rather than a moral responsibility or a judgement of your own capabilities, is a critical skill in surviving AI
It reminds me of the importance of delegation and of "getting the right people on the bus, then deciding where to go" approach from management best practices
The difference is that those decisions used to be the remit of the few people in a leadership position
Now anyone can choose to be bold, instantly expand their circle of influence
Not everyone does
you either die Figma, or you live long enough to become Google
gina @askginadotai pioneered the e-girl convergence before it was cool
lately i've been prompting in a shorthand so extreme that it reminds me of Asimov's Second Foundation speakers talking to each other

The statue of Prometheus is finally finished.
It was cast in Paris, crossed the Atlantic, and was assembled at Starbase. It took us 100 days to go from nothing to this.
People of the West, we have lived through an era devoid of dreams, devoid of destiny.
But the time has come to reclaim our dream of antiquity.
In a few months, we will start building a new city. It will be the most magnificent city in all of history.
After all, the great dream of the West has always been to rebuild Rome.
Come walk beside us in this endeavor. The world is waiting.

the masculine urge to put omarchy on a toughbook, get a bunch of @RiteintheRain notebooks and walk 20k steps a day rain or shine
I'd take the intently can-do approach of america.gov over the europoor gov.uk any day of the week, not to mention that a government website writing articles about "using AI responsibly" instead of actually just using AI is ngmi
I'll take the intently bland design of gov.uk over the toyetic america.gov any day of the week, not to mention that a government website driven by AI having "AI can make mistakes" disclaimers doesn't exactly instil trust.
What's the best way to have multiple persistent connector account (eg Figma) in CC or codex?
I'm using configs tied to tmux sessions but its flimsy
This is worth talking about
@chxrles is not wrong in saying that AI output (visual or otherwise) must be curated; he's also right that good design is arrived at by a process of elimination
The problem is that his framing sacrifices the example of the day (the eyebrow) in pursuit of a larger point, as it happened to the em dash — and as will happen to most detail in visual and written language, if we don't curb this nonsense
This feels like the beginning of a backlash not different from the post-skeuomorphism swing back to minimalism, just faster and dumber
We have to keep in mind that most people will learn about eyebrows, em-dashes (and everything else) through AI
"Don't use this thing because it's been overused by Model x.x for 72 hours" is just reactionary Luddism and will drown discourse in flash cycles of banning and rediscovering culture
A useful version of OP would have been doing the research, doing the work, show what eyebrows are, where they come from, why they were invented and the right and wrong way to use them
The correct long-term solution is resisting knee-jerk reactions and redirecting those impulses towards actually learning about stuff
But in the short term, we need an entirely new tolerance for abundance, throughput and maximalism if we want to find a way to create on equal footing with AI
Otherwise we'll curate ourselves into markdown files
please don't do this.
it's called "eyebrow" text and it's the latest vibecode-slop tell.
it serves no useful purpose. again, it's this "gesturing" LLMs do and you need to be aware of it. it puts this eyebrow text there because it's a landing page typography trope that bamboozles your brain into thinking "yes this looks like a good and proper landing page!"
and you think "the more detail = cleverer model!"
but it's dumb. all this design clutter has no actual thought - it's still stochastic parrot without a trained & experienced designer's guidance. the clever but hard thing is reduction. reducing and eliminating. good design is simple. great design is invisible.
this eyebrow test is just more unnecessary visual clutter the Opus 5.5 is obsessed with.
do not accept the default. take care with your work.
every element is unnecessary until proven essential.
