Don’t be arrogant and assume that your new design idea is so brilliant that it can overrule decades of user habituation.| UX Tigers
AGI by 2027 is strikingly plausible. GPT-2 to GPT-4 took us from ~preschooler to ~smart high-schooler abilities in 4 years. Tracing trendlines in compute (~0.5 orders of magnitude or OOMs/year), algorithmic efficiencies (~0.5 OOMs/year), and “unhobbling” gains (from chatbot to agent), we should expect another preschooler-to-high-schooler-sized qualitative jump by 2027. Look. The models, they just| SITUATIONAL AWARENESS
The history of computing shows that increased availability of cheap compute, especially on the client side, creates opportunities for improved usability. AI will continue this trend, with vastly better usability to come. Sadly, slow growth in electricity capacity will likely delay the ability of currently-rich countries to realize the full benefits of AI for as much as 20 years.| jakobnielsenphd.substack.com
Many people have published great new ways of explaining Nielsen's 10 usability heuristics which are the bedrock of UX, encapsulating the most critical design issues that make a user interface difficult or easy to use.| UX Tigers
