i have thoughts on google’s modern-web-guidance thing…

i’m looking at it solely from an accessibility perspective, for which there is a high-level guide, as well as small details sprinkled into use-case specific guides.

(the whole thing is open source so i was able to look pretty deep)

Researchers Asked LLMs for Strategic Advice. They Got “Trendslop” in Return.

Leaders might assume that LLMs are able to offer a kind of unbiased, outside perspective. But new research found that leading LLMs have clear biases when it comes to strategy and consistently recommend strategies that align with modern managerial buzzwords and trends rather than context-specific strategic logic. This propensity for AI to opt for buzzy ideas over reasoned solutions is called “trendslop,” and leaders should beware of it warping their strategic planning. When using AI in strategic planning, leaders should: use it to expand options, not make choices; counteract known and potential biases; remain alert to changing biases; watch out for the hybrid trap; and not rely on context alone.

I love collaboration – working *with* – and the Alphabettes book is nothing if not a testament to collaboration, on so many levels.

Huge thanks to @Fontnerd and Nina Paim for involving me in this project; huge thanks to Amy, Nina, Tereza Bettinardi, and Susan Bond for being wonderful to work with; and huge thanks and much love to my Alphabettes sisters ❤️

I just learned that the book is now available from one of my favorite book purveyors: Draw Down!

I know it's not Friday but here's me in my fursuit! It's very realistic, I know. I spared no expense. It's even self-cleaning!

What I have learned in my limited experience with smart devices is that their phone apps cannot remember the existence of the devices, like lovers cursed by a jealous crone to forget each other, no matter how many times they are reunited.

The Wayward Dark Lenormand is now available on my Etsy shop! My website has also been updated with all of the art and card details.

Kickstarter backers have started receiving their decks already and I'm loving seeing this one out there getting its initial readings done!
