@andres4ny@social.ridetrans.itPhanpy doesn't support quoots yet, so I'm using Mastodon's stock web interface and.. it's bad. Compare how busy it looks with unnecessary stuff (do I really need a "post" input form on screen at all times? Do I need a link to "favorites" visible at all times?), but also - the fonts are bad. Bad, bad, bad. Just so much harder to read. And the timeline toots just kind of run together, rather than being clearly delineated by whitespace in phanpy.
![Mastodon's official UI home screen. There are three columns taking up the whole screen. Left column has half taken up with an input form for posting a new toot. Then there's some wasted space, and at the bottom a bunch of text links: "social.ridetrans.it: [About] [Profiles directory] [privacy policy]", etc.
The middle column has all the toots from my timeline. There is only a single thin grey line separating the toots, and the text is small and somewhat difficult to read.
The right column…](https://mastodon-usw-cache.b-cdn.net/media_attachments/files/115/556/258/266/351/584/original/9b54ad3448805067.png)

@pavelasamsonov@mastodon.socialNo one wants to build bad products. But in an industry where programmers implement features to order, it can be hard to shake that feeling.
This is how orgs see the ROI of UX: as a soothing function to tell everyone they're doing a good job. And as a scapegoat, when we finally learn otherwise.
UX cheerleading is doing the industry no favors.

How hypocritically bad-at-reasoning AI boosters are.

Roko's basilisk is as powerful as God.
Under what definition of "omnipotent" is that true? (Haha that's a pretty innocent-seeming one)
You, me, and God are all "omniscient" from a skeptic's perspective.
Roko's basilisk is as "real" as God.
Here's a proof that God is real and God is evil.

Sam Altman (Brewster) is sent back in time to start such a laughably bad AI hype cycle that it effectively changes the course of human history, steering us away from our doom.
Through his efforts, what could have been a human-eradicating AI leaves us with hallucinations, weird sex bots, AI avatars of our dead loved ones, and AI-powered toys telling children to hurt themselves.
