oh that reminds me of Anthropic's company values page where they call it "unusually high trust" to believe that their employees work there in "good faith"

I can't imagine signing that - unless I was being paid a lot of money

just want to share my article from this week. It's about products that account for their lack of usefulness with ease of use. Using the gpt-4oh as an example. https://fasterandworse.com/known-purpose-and-trusted-potential/

I've done UX on a few B2B SaaS things and the U meant CTO in most (sanctioned) cases

at rest, in transit, in plunder

they use it for their matrix screensavers

is it that easy to sell this shit to the average CTO?

ah ok, so if it's not at rest and it's not in transit, what else is it?

What does this mean regarding their claims that data is encrypted at rest and in transit? https://slack.com/resources/why-use-slack/slacks-enterprise-security-features

sort by controversial did not disappoint :)

Hey, thanks! Sorry to respond so late. I have been locking myself out of socials during the week to get stuff done. I just published a new one too, so it's working :)

I didn't know about Slack and Salesforce. But, man, what a perfect match of captive userbase softwares

haha, thanks for this. those three are my go-to "big 3" examples because I'm convinced one of them will acquire and absorb the other two

the key line is right at the end "elements of the past and the future, combining to make something not quite as a good as either"

I can't help think of this song whenever I hear about the day's new tech product that has the potential to change the world https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3BngCSGJJNo

I am going to keep that for a future one for sure. This stuff needs an anthem

thanks! I had to squeeze one out to avoid a whole year passing since my last blog post. Hopefully will keep 'em coming from here on. Settled nicely in Amsterdam now

Nothing spesh - Goodreads is recommending me some quality reading this week

I swear I knew these fuckers were dodgy when I saw how UX designed their website was. A better search engine would sell itself even if it looked like craigslist.

I'm feeling uncreative but it's a shame giggle academy is taken

"painter news" could be a nice jab at PG's "Hackers & Painters"
