Because of AI's ability to deeply know you, I think the implication of AI on social networks won't be AI generated content. I think it will be humanizing every person, and therefore interaction, on the internet.

@brian_lovin yeah? show me one example of you being sarcastic and someone not understanding it

This week I learned that 80% of people on the internet do not have sarcasm detection firmware installed. Surprising.

@round corporate jargon or

the horses keep pissing in the water

@zendadddy Fully remote but I do miss in person

who is still working remotely? feels like the tech industry has taken a massive shift.

@zendadddy Couldn’t agree more. every high level designer I talk to feels similarly. Raw enthusiasm and excitement to bring to life any idea you have. And the higher level you get, the more ideas you have.

Lots of talk about AI taking over design. I used to have AI-anxiety, now I have AI-excitement. The unlock for how much impact I can have as a designer is insane. No more time spending on storytelling decks, more time in prod making stuff happen. I barely use the traditional design tools anymore. I'm building all of my own stuff, custom to what I need and making updates daily. Need a Trello board? I'm making it in 5 seconds. Loom? Spin up a camera-capture feature. I always treated my side projects and day job as 2 separate things - one I could jump straight into code, the other I had to operate very differently to make things happen within corporate structures. No more. I haven't been this excited to build in years.

@jose_goncalves_ The race for context is on

Spotify is launching a........ personal assistant ???

@dinkin_flickaa I just know somewhere at X there's a PM who can't sleep after this release because of the feed space that is lost when the video dock is up

Deep in your heart you know you’ve always wanted Carousels and a Video Dock on 𝕏. Update and it’s yours apps.apple.com/app/id333903271

@Gavmn Of course ya did

As part of this launch, we updated the shader used to represent ChatGPT. I used Blender to quickly sketch a wide variety of options and had Codex inspect the file and translate the material to Metal and WebGL.

Excited to share the new ChatGPT Voice. More natural and intelligent conversations, powered by GPT-Live-1. Grateful to have collaborated with @ryhanhassan and so many incredible teammates across research and applied to bring it to life.

if you're really tryna lock in, just fully intubate yourself with a microphone. you won't even need to speak anymore and can vibe code quicker via guttural noises

@madsmccaus @hobdaydesign The line isn’t drawn at what is physically shown in the experience. The line is drawn at how the experience makes you feel. The Duolingo example, though depicting death, feels fun because of art direction not because of the topic of the drawing.

Right. So you're saying there's an unwritten rule that the design of mobile apps, in their inherent state, should't evoke negative emotion, which makes me wonder - why, and where does the line get drawn? The Duolingo zombie app icon comes to mind. We could consider it negative because it's illustrating death, snot, sickness, etc., but (I'll assume) we still think of it as positive/fun because the brand's reputation and history of being fun, playful and having lots of positive connotations.

Interesting concept because it highlights an unwritten rule: mobile apps should be positive.

@gabrielvaldivia really sick

One of my favorite design details in Loupe are the placeholder avatars: a random combination of color + 30 illustrations that create unique faces for each user. loupe.id

@TobiasWhetton This visual design is sick! UX note: I’d think it might be a bit more usable if you could choose neighborhoods as pins on the map around you vs in a list. That will make the distance between you and each neighborhood more clear

you don't fall for someone in a radius. you fall for someone in your neighborhood 💕

@UltraLinx Yup

ngl this is pretty genius. raycast basically building their own app store. i rate it.

@zachpogrob let’s fucking go

@zachpogrob conviction of any form in social is rare. More often than not you don’t have it. cherish this moment

This was fun to work on for 2 weeks But in retrospect- totally retarded to focus on 🤣

@marvinvonhagen this is incredibly smart. really great work

our goal with Poke was always to make AI more human today, we're taking this to the next level! 🌴

@raffichill Be kind to yourself ❤️

Possibly the worst screen I’ve seen in my life. No search and not sorted alphabetically. How are you supposed to find someone.

@raffichill you started a coffee shop at your house?

Just overheard this at the coffee shop: Nah bro I'm still grinding it's not good enough yet. Looking to put this on SIP in like September - October optimistically, kinda depends if Fable comes back or not.

@ajambrosino Please don’t let the meta PMs see this post

in our internal tool that predated the Codex app, I tried to growth hack by wrapping the upsells in HDR everyone hated it, but that’s because they have no Taste™

@raffichill Swipe from left side of Dynamic Island

I really miss being able to swipe down to see my lock screen

@interaction this feels like a heavy handed way to compete with Partiful, no?
