    Who asked for this? So much for user led design.

      As a ux design graduate I realized that my degree is absolutely useless so I switched to IT. Not a single company now gives a flying fuck about what users want or how to design things to help users.

        As a user, I respect you and mourn for you.

        Useless answer but you should know that UX is still important in medical devices and software. Good luck anyway.

      Shareholder-led design.

      Bigtech wants YOU to train their AI in any way possible. And YOU will pay for it.

      It is meant for all the noobs who complained about Silk Song last week.

      Cramming useless, unwanted bloat into existing products is what corporations do when they’ve lost the ability to innovate but don’t want to admit it.

      Manufacturers do the same thing. I spent a couple of years at a company that makes industrial power tools. Those jokers tried adding a line of “smart” tools, apparently not understanding that people don’t buy a tool that costs thousands of dollars because of some irrational compulsion to connect everything to WiFi. They do it because they need a tool that stands up to a highly abusive environment while doing it’s job every single time without fail. Management was somehow shocked when this new point of failure was not well received.

        Wifi I general is just…

        The only wifi capable device I have in my home is my phone. I don’t want it anything.

    You are no longer playing a game if AI is watching over you and telling you what to do.
    Backseat driver much???
    Maybe just let AI play the game and go do something more fun.
