@Wimbledon this year they stopped letting people in after 3pm with a Que Card excuse. #TheQue

Nuovo articolo sui "lavoratori introvabili" in settori bellissimi: moda, design e mobile, ospitalità e altri. Peccato che non spieghi che in questi settori c'è tanto lavoro precario, contratti anomali, bassi salari, sfruttamento dei giovani e condizioni di lavoro antiquate.

In five days the Rabbit R1 collected 50.000 preorders. Interesting interview about designing a new AI gadget to Jesse Lyu, founder and CEO of the company.

@lowresolution So true! The signal was Miro acquiring in November all its collaborative workspace feature Freehand and its staff. BTW I’m not seeing the same energy in design in VC…

In 2006, I was 1 of 4 designers on Google Search.

For 20 years, every search engine has copied Google.

Now ChatGPT, Bard + Claude look like Google's offspring - "better” search engines.

But last week signaled we're on the brink of a design revolution.

ChatGPT unveiled incredible new features.

These could give us the opportunity to completely shift how we interface with AI.

Here's the full story:

–––

When I was a designer on Google Search, all major search engines looked the same – Google, Yahoo, MSN Bing.

Google was the market leader with a heavily optimized UI that supported billions of dollars in ad revenue.

Naturally, it became THE way to show search results.

Its success made it illogical for Google to consider big UI changes.

And any changes they did make were just mirrored by everyone else.

So 20 years later, we’ve only seen incremental changes to search engine UIs.

–––

Today, we have consumer-ready LLMs (Large Language Models) freshly in our hands.

As consumer products, these are in their infancy.

We’re very early in understanding their capabilities and defining how people interact with them.

These are uncharted waters.

And yet ChatGPT, Bard, Claude etc. all chose a text-based input box — just like Google’s search box — as the core interface.

Why?

The input box is simple, versatile, and familiar.

- It’s simple to understand → you type your questions into the box.

- It’s versatile → the box can handle all sorts of questions/queries.

- The paradigm is super familiar → people immediately know how to use it.

Because of this, LLMs have essentially become “a better Google.”

–––

But last week’s ChatGPT announcements thrust open the doors to new possibilities.

ChatGPT is now multi-modal — it can see, hear, and speak.

These are the recent announcements from @OpenAI :

Voice: https://t.co/hAeXxBTH9l

Photos: https://t.co/X3QbLnwT1V

The example of ChatGPT explaining how to lower a bike seat was incredible.

But, it could be so much better!

The video showed you'll have to post multiple new photos to keep adding new information and to progress the conversation.

It was still a linear conversation centered around the text box.

But what if we rethought the interface to center around the image?

What if ChatGPT supported both images AND voice simultaneously?

Could we end up with a more immersive experience?

–––

How else could interacting with LLMs mimic IRL conversations?

Could we (or the AI) pinch to zoom or rotate the image?

Could we interact in real time with video?

What new possibilities open up with context being preserved over time?

–––

There is so much energy and excitement around what AI can do.

But we are limiting the potential by assuming the conversation box is the best interface.

Right now, designers have the chance to create truly novel interactions and bust through the 20+ year old search UI paradigm.

The ideas above are just to illustrate some potential options.

But they are also intended to spark a flame.

Now is the opportunity to be creative and explore divergent UIs.

What are the craziest, coolest, most creative UI ideas we can unleash?

LFG 🚀

@Wimbledon after yesterday #TheQ mess, now we see kids crying and people under the rain. Non sense decision of stopping ground ticket sale

[Emanuele Bianchi @EmoneBianchi]

@Wimbledon please let the 200 people in queue reach the grounds to experience the dressed up AELTC. Thousands of people already left the facility. Safety reasons are no sense. Where’s marketing and branding?

[Emanuele Bianchi @EmoneBianchi]

@Wimbledon experiencing the #AELTC open and dressed up should be a possibility also with rain. Safety reasons given make no sense!

[Emanuele Bianchi @EmoneBianchi]

@Wimbledon the decision of stop letting people in for safety reasons is non sense. Thousands of visitors already left the #AELTC.

@iacopo_melio si, non registrando il sito , in inglese..quindi quei 9 milioni sono per le multe , usando un sito Wordpress e con il percorso delle immagini in chiaro nella barra indirizzi e nemmeno rinominate " Whatsapp...etc"

[chiara visentin @archidueChiara]

@iacopo_melio Spero almeno abbiano pagato i diritti immagine a Shutterstock con un po' di tutti quei soldi.

ChatGPT is a FREE assistant

But 97% still don’t know how to use it.

So I built ChatGPT Mastery Course

59 videos & 16 hours of video content

Easily worth $1000’s, but for the next 24 hrs, it’s FREE!

To get it, just:

1. Follow me @iampascio
2. RT this tweet
3. Reply "SEND"

i trained an ai chatbot on my childhood journal entries - so that i could engage in real-time dialogue with my "inner child"
