Some interesting insights, but IMHO it overindexed larger companies in the Silicon Valley bubble. Of course they are going to be bullish in AI.

I am interested in the impact on smaller firms. Individual designers, and design adjacent industries.

UX skills are alive and well.

Keep learning.

Ohm’s Law states that the current (I) flowing through a conductor is directly proportional to the voltage (V) across it and inversely proportional to its resistance (R), provided the temperature remains constant.

The relation is:

V = I × R

Here’s how each factor depends on the others:

• If voltage (V) increases, current (I) also increases (when resistance is constant).

• If resistance (R) increases, current (I) decreases (when voltage is constant).

• If current (I) increases, voltage (V) also increases (when resistance is constant).

In simple terms:

– Voltage pushes the current.
– Resistance opposes the current.
– Current is the flow caused by voltage and limited by resistance.

Sturgeon's law: "90 percent of everything is crap."

Worrying too much about AI is like worrying about the wind. Will it blow? Of course, just make sure it doesn't blow you over. Pay attention to where the wind is blowing and steady your feet because, at times, it will bring gale-force winds.

[Michael Frost @michaelfrost6]

Today I introduced my students to Sturgeon's law, which states that 90% of everything is crap. So if you want to criticize something (a church, denomination, theology, strategy, etc), find the best example of it and then critique that.

Some UI inspiration from sythnesizers. So good.

In Australia, a man named Alfie Date moved into a retirement home at the age of 109. About 12 hours after he arrived, two of the nurses came to his room and asked if he could knit. He could, he’d been at it since 1932.

They told him about a program asking volunteers to knit tiny woolen sweaters for an endangered species called Little Penguins. The sweaters stop oil-covered birds from cleaning themselves with their beaks during a spill, because the oil is toxic if they swallow it. Alfie said yes. He spent his last two years knitting hundreds of them. He was lost in 2016, at 110.

I think this sentiment applies so deeply to politics in our modern era.

If you are a UX/IxD/Product Designer and you have not read James Gibson's Theory of Affordances.

Here is your chance...

Today's reminder... AI is not a replacement for conceptual skills; it can assist for sure, but fundamentally, humans (designers, creatives, artists) use these skills to our ends.

Work hard and stay in the driver's seat to bend AI to your will and vision.

Prototyping is so fun. Here some examples from my final in product design students at @OtisCollege and engineers from @USCViterbi

Students did a demo day for their final it went well.
