opus 5's digital plants can flower and fruit now. plus we have new species!

every petal, every seed, every vein is one hormone diffusing between cells. still not a single shape anywhere in the code. just a ton of math and chemistry

I miss having a text AND visual forward platform. Good news is that the Posts community feature on YouTube and X has the greatest potential to be the direct descendants of tumblr

All the big consumer apps are adding AI to the wrong places first. We don’t need to re-architect how to discover content when I’m googling how to change my privacy settings. It should be able to change it in app. In the setting’s search bars. Agentically & contextually.

All consumer apps sweating bc there are now two more responsive breakpoints to consider (duo landscape, duo portrait) and an ♾️ amount of edge cases 🤧

visual identity moodboard for tactile sensing

inspired by the dexterity of ceramic craftsmanship and the warmth of brushed metal

communicating advanced touch through materiality

[Selena Yang @selenayangx]

exploring branding for physical ai

for a startup training robots to have the touch of a human ⋆˚꩜｡

what if tactile sensing had a more humanist visual identity?

~ feedback welcome!
