Static in the feedback loop

Howdy! Pinch and punch, and all that. Here’s 10 links that i wanted to share with you.

Sketching with AI: Why physical thinking still matters in the age of generated everything.
A great piece in the Atlantic about how we should build AI to collaborate with, not replace, human experts.
Which pairs nicely with this framework from Tey Bannerman, Redefining 'human in the loop'.
And this one … Who are we designing for now?
“While chat interfaces to AI models aren't going away anytime soon, the increasing capabilities of AI agents are making the concept of chatting back and forth with an AI model to get things done feel archaic.” - Luke W on The Receding Role of AI Chat.
Why designing terrible solutions makes you a better designer.
The illusion of alignment.
Why Low fidelity design is higher up the value chain.
The History of Themeable User Interfaces.
“If you’re a designer and you’re in a spot where you’re sitting and waiting to get picked for the shiny cool new project, stop waiting. Make your current team, your current work, the shiny cool new thing”- Make things happen.

Thank you and good afternoon,
