I don't know what you're smoking LI but this isn't written anywhere on my LI page... 🤔 Is LI using ChatGPT to write SEO descriptions now?

Replying to @romanmars
@romanmars seems like there might be a 99% invisible story behind the “California Dial” watch face en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Califo…

Specially because the claim is that it was manufactured originally as ‘easier to read’ in wartime which seems a pretty weird claim.

An emerging niche thing that pisses me off is the confusion between ‘automation and ‘artificial intelligence’. If it’s just automated it doesn’t make it AI.

Australia has lost the mantle of global solar leader (solar capacity per person)to Netherlands. Time for new policies to enable Solar for All focussing on low income and social housing. (Graph from BP 2022 Energy Review thanks to @KetanJ0 )

Watching this Twitter blue check mess, I can’t help but think of all the frustrated founders or CEOs who say “why can’t we just…” to their product teams. This is why.

New product initiatives within already-successful companies often fail to achieve their potential because they have too much rather than too little. Too much of: 1) headcount: you are now under pressure to come up _something_ for all these people to do 👇🏾

Delivering good services is HARD, but the problems we have aren't unique After nearly 2 years of @theschoolofgood here are the top 10 most common causes for bad service design… good.services/blog/rwfxy0ww6…
A yellow slide reads: "10 causes of bad service design 1. Your services are invisible 2. No one can remember why the service exists 3. A toxic relationship with users 4. The consequences of decisions on services isn’t considered 5. Failure to prioritise 6. Short-term thinking outweighs long-term thinking 7. Your organisation wasn’t designed to deliver the services it now provides 8. ‘Technical’ skills aren’t valued 9. Your organisation incentivises the wrong behaviour 10. You think you can get away with it"

House in the style of Reg Mombassa in @craiyonAI (low level text to image AI)
Question for design/product/innovation types who also want progress on renewables. Do we apply for jobs like this at places like AGL, and hope to be part of the transition should/when people like @mcannonbrookes and wins: linkedin.com/jobs/view/31698… Or are we boycotting?
