Hey friends, I’m volunteering with refugees at the Polish-Ukraine border. Supporting a network of incredibly brave drivers who are evacuating people and delivering medical supplies, providing direct cash assistance, and working at the local refugee camp.

happy to share that I joined @contralabs_ai to work on ai eval for creativity!

models are getting better at design and creative tasks. but designers still find them hard to use. let's help models learn taste and creative judgement!

@sentdefender He’s like, “Again?! You’ve got to be kidding me!”

In our @anthropicai Claude Design study,

5 designers approved a design system before they typed their first prompt.

>Brand palette
>type system
>components

the whole thing all set up.

Only 1 of them named any of it in their opening prompt.

That designer was the only one to finish production-ready.

The other 4 assumed Claude would carry the system over. It didn't.

TLDR: Claude doesn't reliably carry the design system you just approved. If you don't name it in the prompt, it doesn’t exist.

It's never been a better time to be a designer, but you must learn the art of the prompt.

It’s astounding that there are countless stories like these and yet some people still insist that the public sector should run even more of the economy.
