This week: Abraham Burickson’s Yale University Press @odysseyworks book “Experience Design” suggests a profound shift in how we conceive of the act of design: magazine.frontier.is/p/are-you-expe…

Abraham Burickson’s Yale University Press London 📖 title “Experience Design” reminds me of Rob Walker’s “The Art of Noticing” and Austin Kleon’s “Steal Like An Artist”—they all advocate for using our powers of observation and creativity when relating to the world. magazine.frontier.is/p/are-you-expe…

This week: realizing I want AI that builds upon what I know, not what the world does. For me, that means New Computer over Humane. Hardware is (almost) fungible; relationship-building isn’t. cc Jason “Mars” Yuan & Sam Whitmore magazine.frontier.is/p/human-after-…

The bad-neighbor effect was part of my argument against the MSG Sphere in July. Glad to see the London Mayor’s office taking their concerns seriouly. magazine.frontier.is/p/bad-moon-ris…

Thinking about Humane’s AI Pin and New Computer’s Dot, I realize: “there is still plenty of room to grow within current paradigms of human-computer interaction. That runway is in designing conversation.” magazine.frontier.is/p/human-after-…
