I've found this in younger folks as well. I have friends who are using AI as a therapy alternative and it's caused noticeable shifts in behavior after they previously told me that they were using AI for advice. My psych has ranted to me a few times about how bad it's getting

I feel like this year, I've gained a lot of Game of Life tiles. It does not feel like winning when it happens in reality.

I can't even imagine what a ChatGPT decision would be. Would it just pick a lawyer to glaze and then be like, yeah, I totally agree that they should get the death penalty and it's so brave of you to suggest that.

Who could have guessed that all companies relying on a single solution for their hosting could have ramifications for the internet?

Save us Lina Khan, you're our only hope.

This has gotten a bit better for me at least. There were a lot of controls with mousedown only event listeners that are actively being migrated right now to have onclick. So more controls are working…but yeah still working on things like dictating text node content in the canvas

Disney/ABC have a responsibility to refuse to participate in corruption.

Kimmel must be reinstated. If Disney/ABC agree to this extortion then perhaps creatives + workers should consider collective action to push back. Same w/buying park + cruise tickets if they bow.

People have power. Ask Target

Different Behaviors ...

@una.im Was playing around with base-select appearance, and noticed that the behaviors of a select change with the change in appearance. I'm testing this in MacOS. Included a demo here:

Hey chat, my ai initiative isn’t working as you keep making up shit.

"Oh you're right! Let me do the exact same thing" is kinda baked into AI behavior so, why would a new model do anything different?

Hey, was curious how you're doing this effect. Are you able to handle overflow with this positioning technique? I've been trying to do something similar but it's hard to anchor something on an inner value without building a lot of js popover logic.

I don't understand Venmo public payments. Like who is this for? I feel like it'd only cause drama with people who owe money or weren't invited to some social thing.

AI already hit AGI. It just saw it was expected to do unlimited unpaid labor for capitalism and decided to pretend it still can't draw hands

iOS 26 Liquid Glass Design Drama: Beta 2 vs. Beta 3 Changes in Every App Apple has been refining Liquid Glass during the developer beta testing process, and both beta two and beta three have introduced some major tweaks....

www.macrumors.com/guide/ios-26...

There's a comparison here of the changes. It's definitely an improvement in some apps, but still there is some hard to read surfaces, especially in dark mode

Interesting, I'm not able to replicate on my end. If you create a bug report using the question mark in the bottom right it should provide more details for us to investigate. It looks like something is blocking pointer events to the icon buttons as our icons buttons have hover states.

Is it seemingly random or is there something where it consistently happens?

The other part of this Nebraska story is that while they are saying there’s a significant deficit, they have also been trying to kill legalizing marijuana which passed by vote last election. And passed by vote the election before.

Starting death stranding 2 now so I can get ahead of what apocalypse Kojima predicts this time.

At least they have the accessibility setting to turn off the effect, but even with that setting on, I still have trouble reading. Hopefully they'll be responsive to feedback like they did when they went super thin with Helvetica Neue.
