The last ever episode of Opacity podcast is up now. In what we hope was an on-brand move, we go through the reasons why @cp5446 and I are calling it a day and some lessons over the last 3 years and 32 episodes. open.spotify.com/episode/1Ot…
UX design isn’t always flashy. Sometimes it’s slow, gritty, and foundational.
In my latest video, I talk about the real work behind the work—and why grit is one of the most underrated traits in design.

When you get something you’ve worked hard for or been looking forward to, make sure you celebrate it. And celebrate well because your brain will try to trick you into believing it isn’t a big deal. But it is. You set a goal & achieved it. It is wonderful. Celebrate well.

I'm a game dev. I didn't know how to code so I learned. I didn't know how to write music so I learned. When I didn't know how to animate, I learned. If someone thinks they need to resort to using generative ai to bring a vision to life it didn't deserve to live

🧵This isn't an argument. This is advice.
If you're an in-house UX Designer, It's likely that you'll have a conversation this year about what your role is with someone whose only concern is the bottom line of the company's balance sheet.
You are a profit-generating asset...

Beautiful work. It's sad that this needs to be done, but here we are.
1/ This might be the most important oil painting I’ve made:
Musa Victoriosa
The first painting released to the world that utilizes Glaze, a protective tech against unethical AI/ML models, developed by the @UChicago team led by @ravenben. App out now 👇

ALT Woman representing a creative muse, holds a laurel wreath in victory. She is surrounded by eagles who celebrate her accomplishments and stands on a pedestal overlooking the horizon. The colors are warm and comforting. This painting is a love letter to the art community and the accomplishments of research team creating technology for the benefit of mankind.
Episode 3 of the Last of Us is gonna clean up on awards, right? Even though they expanded on the games lore, I think this is a great example of what makes the story so gripping. The humanity. The games have this effect too.

A client informed me that he will no longer pay me to write content for his website because A.I. can write it for free, but he wants to pay me a fraction of my usual rate to "rewrite it" in different words so it can pass Google's A.I. detection screening.

Creating original IP, in any creative format, is like farming crops—planting seeds, nurturing them, harvesting them at the end of the season, and finally cooking them.
Making fanart is like buying fresh produce and cooking a meal from scratch.
AI art is a microwaveable dinner.

AI art is theft in most cases, we deserve more rights!
A thread:
1) Kim Jung Gi's art was fed into an AI model the day after he died.
US employment law is pretty shocking to Europeans. The concept of just being fired at any time and closed off from work is not something you can do here without reasonable notice.
