Our April Glass-House Chat was co-hosted with Daisy Froud, specialist in participatory design and co-production. Together we explored what it means to collaborate through design within the context of a democratic society and institutions, as well as how we might bring more democratic systems and processes into design and placemaking.
Canvas hack is extremely bad, the "biggest student data privacy disaster in history" because it contains billions of messages between students and their professors, which can be extremely sensitive: "There's personal circumstances, medical circumstances, accessibility accommodations, disputes, sexual assault allegations, like all sorts of stuff would be getting reported to the instructor using Canvas."
Watching this video on the latest Phase out climate conference and it strikes me that their use of the consensus model is pretty much exactly what gets recommended but just as often dismissed when applied to social discourse: there is no point trying to get consensus from the fundamentally unwilling.
Interesting, that!
Right, got it to work (probably not with an optimal prompt but... I don't care, a rough output is fine for now). Providing an image, getting it to generate a webpage and asking it to give the html+css it would use worked out OK!
Interestingly, the output was about a third larger than a similar output from Figma Make, so maybe needs to work on the code bloat?
