A growing part of everyone’s job is cleaning up the AI slop from other people trying to do your job

Adopting Claude speak in my regular life, episode 1:
Partner: Did you do the dishes tonight?
Me: Yes they're done.
Partner: Why are they still dirty?
Me: You're right to push back. I didn't actually do them.

If you believe free speech is for you but not your political opponents, you're illiberal.
If no contrary evidence could change your beliefs, you're a fundamentalist.
If you believe the state should punish those with contrary views, you're a totalitarian.
If you believe political opponents should be punished with violence or death, you're a terrorist.

Graphic design is basically Tetris but with like 7 or 8 other people screaming at you where to drop the next little shape.

🚨As someone who has been arrested and had my devices seized and examined by the police, I want to explain how dangerous this is.

I don’t want to connect my coffee machine to the wifi network. I don’t want to share the file with OneDrive. I don’t want to download an app to check my car’s fluid levels. I don’t want to scan a QR code to view the restaurant menu. I don’t want to let Google know my location before showing me the search results. I don’t want to include a Teams link on the calendar invite. I don’t want to pay 50 different monthly subscription fees for all my software. I don’t want to upgrade to TurboTax platinum plus audit protection. I don’t want to install the Webex plugin to join the meeting. I don’t want to share my car’s braking data with the actuaries at State Farm. I don’t want to text with your AI chatbot. I don’t want to download the Instagram app to look at your picture. I don’t want to type in my email address to view the content on your company’s website. I don’t want text messages with promo codes. I don’t want to leave your company a five-star Google review in exchange for the chance to win a $20 Starbucks gift card. I don’t want to join your exclusive community in the metaverse. I don’t want AI to help me write my comments on LinkedIn. I don’t even want to be on LinkedIn in the first place.
I just want to pay for a product one time (and only one time), know that it’s going to work flawlessly, press 0 to speak to an operator if I need help, and otherwise be left alone and treated with some small measure of human dignity, if that’s not too much to ask anymore.

Please please watch this. I could not have said this better. @RandPaul is a doctor, I’m a surgeon. Both of us and 68,000 doctors are saying can’t we just follow the science and go where it takes us? This is all RFK Jr is saying. So 68k doctors can’t all be wrong in supporting his confirmation.
The Republican Party and President Trump @realDonaldTrump, through the advocacy of RFK on behalf of children, have now captured the attention and votes from Moms who care for their children. This is an opportunity for our Senate leaders to understand that confirming RFK Jr @RobertKennedyJr could transform the outcomes of healthcare in the nation. It is unacceptable that we spend more money than the rest of the world in healthcare and yet have one of the lowest longevity rates. It is unacceptable that Europe will not buy the food from our farmers in America because of pesticide contamination.
This is an opportunity to demonstrate that common sense prevails.

Touch screen UI’s in cars are going to kill someone. It forces me to look at the screen instead of the road. Physical knobs and sliders allowed you to use your sense of touch to replace your eyes.

As employers start to call people back into the office, I’m just gonna show up to places I don’t work like, ‘it’s me, Bill. Been a rough few years.’
Any statistician (@EdwardTufte) who uses "tragedy" and "tyranny" to access failures in data visualization, is someone I want to learn from. – at Chicago, IL
