AI sucks

“in more concrete terms, consumers dislike ‘AI’ when it shows up in products, and it makes them actively mistrust the brands that employ it”

Great piece (as usual) by Ethan Marcotte: https://ethanmarcotte.com/wrote/against-stocking-frames/

Well shoot, I have a new astrological sign: Pisces. I thought I was an Aries this whole time. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2025/upshot/zodiac-signs.html

National Design

A hard rebuke against Trump’s attempt to create a national design studio, and their inaccessible and inconsiderate initial offering: https://ethanmarcotte.com/wrote/a-notional-design-studio/

Ok, so I recently have used a combination of GitHub Copilot and Anthropic Claude to take on some longstanding items on my website todo lists. And… wow. Selecting an area and typing “Do this thing here” and having it do it (quite successfully, more so on Claude’s part, btw) is simply amazing. I’m not learning anything, but I’m accomplishing a lot?

My blog posts are now all intermingling, and will all be displayed in one column now. Yes, it took me 2 years to do this.

I added an archive of all of my Twitter posts from 2012-2022 at https://www.bradbice.com/library/twitter/.

Wow, definitely never moving to Florida. What an absolute sinkhole of progression or just decent human standards. https://www.cnn.com/2023/01/19/politics/ron-desantis-ap-african-american-studies/index.html

Twitter has ended API access for all 3rd-party apps that exceed 100k users. The latest in petty tactics by their new petulant dictator. Mastodon is a much better place to be.

I was fairly behind Bernie going into last night, but Elizabeth Warren may have swayed me. She’s a little more genuine, convincing, and has much more of a stage impact which will play better this Fall. Will support any Dem candidate obvi, but Warren has my vote thus far.

This Presidential impeachment ultimately signifies the complete failure of our system of checks and balances, on both sides of the aisle: partisan impeachment, partisan acquittal. Party politics and tribalism are all we have now, with little-to-no impartiality to be found practically anywhere. Sad!

Switching back to duckduckgo.com for search. Google has become a wasteland of deceitful ad design.

Apple event hot take: The always on Apple Watch looks great. This might be the first year where I skip out on the newest iPhone (my XS camera is fine). TV+ is a no-brainer at $4.99/month and Arcade is worth a try.

It’s been 6 years since Apple’s “flattening” of the UI with iOS 7. Six years before that was the iPhone’s debut.

The Apple earnings news is hopefully good news for consumers: they’ll fix what needs fixing now and stop pushing the envelope.
