Designing with AI is like working with a new "alien space metal" 👽 And we get to learn all about it in this week's episode with @GK3 ... Some of my favorite takeaways 👇 1️⃣ When you’re prototyping AI products, your prototypes don’t “break” or “fall over” like they do in Figma. That’s because the boundaries of what exists in the prototype become much blurrier. Edge cases disappear altogether. 2️⃣ If the AI model is a chef, then you’re responsible for designing the kitchen. You don’t know what the user will order, so it’s a lot of trial and error to ensure you have the right data on hand at the right moments. 3️⃣ He used AI to learn Python as a way to experiment with the model and prototype his ideas. One tactic he used was asking AI to add comments explaining what each line was doing. George says these prototypes are way cooler than anything he's ever made in Origami 👀 4️⃣ The real value of design is being able to look at an ambiguous situation and understand what you should explore. Rectangles so happen to be the most common way to express that value but the REAL skill is creative problem solving. ——— We go waaayyy deeper in the full episode... If you're curious about designing AI-native products or how to thrive in ambiguity then you're going to love this one 👇 join.dive.club/george-k

Software Design is weird. It is undoubtedly the most impactful medium shaping the world today, yet even those of us working in it know very little of its history. We have no broadly-read books, no docu-series, no video essays. Most see the works of the past as obsolete rather than the rich heritage that has led us here. Every year, seminal works are lost to time accessible only in the memories of those who lived it. We're (re)building Software Design's most seminal moments one pixel at a time and sharing the stories behind the work straight from the designers themselves.

we’ve got one spot open for a product design intern next summer! looking for someone who is excited about software hardware AI and loves to make things, not just push rectangles around all day. hp-iq.com/join-us/5622025004

looking for an eng who would rather sit on the design team and spend time prototyping wild ideas instead of sitting in meetings about metrics. one who finds joy in pushing craft forward, caring about little details, and inventing new ways of doing things grnh.se/wgdv2f994us

if you're not putting your soul into what you make, then what's the point? @AnthropicAI visited our studio recently to film a docuseries on poetry camera & our perspective on working with AI built with @Flomerboy @wormyrocks and claude :)

if you have a vague sense that Hypercard was beautiful and inspiring, but haven't had a chance to dive in - I recommend @stevekrouse 's overview: futureofcoding.org/catalog/h… IMO, perhaps the coolest idea in Hypercard was: Start by drawing stuff, not by programming you can just start painting! Nothing fancy. Draw an ocean, draw some sharks. then if you've been drawing sharks for an hour and you want to make them move... you can! with a bit of programming, designed to feel as friendly as possible. too many computing experiences today start with the programming and not with the "stuff". it's incredible that hypercard was so ahead of its time that it can still inspire us today! RIP Bill Atkinson, a true legend.

and if you're a designer who is particularly interested in even more futuristic things like memory, orchestration, and generative ui systems then you might want to take a look at this grnh.se/3e4c614e4us

not sure if this is a sustainable business model but it was an unexpectedly fun and weird onboarding experience

While everyone else is aggrandizing their impact on humanity over drone shots and 3D graphics, the most riveting product announcement this year is watching an old man vacuum.

that Dyson keynote was so wholesome, just an excited inventor vacuuming the stage and showing off his new toys, all wrapped up in under 9 minutes 10/10

ok ok here is the real hp ai pin from the nov/dec 1989 (!) issue of Measure (old internal magazine for employees) which was celebrating hp's 50th anniversary (!!) by imagining what hp might look like in another 50 years

"Computing in the future may take many forms, according to HP visionary futurist John Armour. Voice-activated computer jewelry could be functional and stylish." (!!!) the whole issue is here if you wanna look, pretty fun read: hp.com/hpinfo/abouthp/histnf…

What happened to ornamental design??? Sublimation into an obsession with smoothness. Full talk at Config in reply below.
