- [Designed Specifically For Me: This Has To Change](https://www.jeffturner.info/designed-specifically-for-me/) - My personal desire to be "a good human," to "treat everyone as equals," or to "value diversity" has no impact on my country's design. It has no impact on the systems that favor me, except to keep them in place. My individual values do not even begin to nudge the scales of opportunity and justice back toward equilibrium.

- [Delivering A Quality Experience](https://www.jeffturner.info/delivering-a-quality-experience/) - Just as focusing solely on being happy won't make you happy, focusing solely on creating a quality experience won't deliver that experience.

I was being consistent, but I wasn't being consistently intense. Writing felt that was to me this morning.‣ Jeff Turner
- [Paying Forward The Precious Gift Of Education](https://www.jeffturner.info/gift-of-education-mffo/) - In 2006 I realized that busy wasn’t enough. I wanted to be more than just “Jeff’s wife” or someone’s Mom. Even though when I was a kid and adults would ask me, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” All I could think of was “A Mom.” I was certainly that, but for some reason it wasn’t enough for me, something was missing and I couldn’t figure out what it was.‣ Jeff Turner

- [Truth: Some Apps Simply Shouldn't Exist At All](https://www.jeffturner.info/truth-some-apps-simply-shouldnt-exist-at-all/) - Fearing this might just be a publicity stunt designed to gain attention, despite the founder's claims otherwise, I wasn't going to write about this today. Providing this idiocy with more attention, even negative attention, might just help the founders raise the funding from Silicon Valley they are apparently seeking.

This makes sites slow and limits what designers can do with text. Last week,
- [Vertical And Horizontal Video At The Same Time?](https://www.jeffturner.info/just-dug-up/vertical-and-horizontal-video-at-the-same-time/) - I'm not one hundred percent certain which scenarios might trigger me needing to shoot vertical and horizontal video at the same time, I typically pick a format and just run with it. But just from the pure energy of this guy who created it, I'm gonna download it and give it a try anyway. :)
- [There Are No "Age Appropriate" AI Toys For Children](https://www.jeffturner.info/just-dug-up/there-are-no-age-appropriate-ai-toys-for-children/) - As soon as it was possible to purchase one of the AI toys from Curio, oddly enough called Grok, I purchased one. The first one didn't work, so they sent me a second one. I used it on stage in one of my presentations, and I said at the time and I'll say it again:
- [My First NAR Booth Experience](https://www.jeffturner.info/just-dug-up/my-first-nar-booth-experience/) - The first booth I ever had at an NAR conference was the last booth I ever wanted to have. We had just introduced real estate shows. It was a brand new kind of virtual tour. For the time, it was advanced technology. We were excited about the prospect of showing it to REALTORS® as they
- [We Need More Projects Like Place des Montréalaises](https://www.jeffturner.info/just-dug-up/we-need-more-projects-like-place-des-montrealaises/) - The Place des Montréalaises project in Montreal is a reminder that great design can be more than just beautiful to look at. It can carry meaning and purpose at the same time. The centerpiece is a floating, inclined plane housing a vast meadow with 21 plant species across 86 clusters. Its goal was to correct
- [I Don't Call Myself An AI Expert, Because I'm Not](https://www.jeffturner.info/just-dug-up/i-dont-call-myself-an-ai-expert-because-im-not/) - "You can believe in the transformative power of AI and still recognize that many of the decisions being made are driven by reflexivity. And when reflexive bubbles unwind, it’s not just asset prices that fall. So do reputations built on temporary expertise." It's why I talk about what I know... human behavior. I've always operated,
- [AI Needs Intelligent Regulations](https://www.jeffturner.info/just-dug-up/ai-needs-intelligent-regulations/) - "There are more regulations around making a sandwich in New York City than there are around potentially world-ending AGI." I actually went looking for this. I watched Tristan Harris on Fareed Zakaria GPS this morning and heard him use this line again. A quick search shows there are many regulations for sandwiches in NYC. Probably
- [TLDR: AI Detectors Don't Work](https://www.jeffturner.info/just-dug-up/tldr-ai-detectors-dont-work/) - I've been thinking about this a lot lately, and I believe I'm ready to write about it in more detail. Whether something is written by AI fully, partially, or entirely by a human, really isn't the question anymore. The question is trust. What can we trust, who can we trust, and how is trust even
- [I Would Choose Waymo Every Time](https://www.jeffturner.info/just-dug-up/i-would-choose-waymo-every-time/) - If I had a choice, I would choose Waymo over a human driver every time. If I'm in Phoenix, for example, I will use the Waymo app exclusively. Despite the growing pains. I find the experience more enjoyable, and it's not just the novelty. The ride also just "feels" safer. And here's the thing: if
- [Why Can't Something Just Look Cool & Be Cheap?](https://www.jeffturner.info/just-dug-up/why-cant-something-just-look-cool-be-cheap/) - Articles like this one frustrate me because they pick at the edges of something. In this one, they're arguing that it's not powerful enough to be an off-road vehicle. Who cares? It looks retro cool, and it's inexpensive; only we'll never have it here in the United States.
- [The Protection Of Indissociable AI & Human Tasks](https://www.jeffturner.info/just-dug-up/the-protection-of-indissociable-ai-human-tasks/) - The jobs most at risk from AI aren't the ones with the most automatable tasks. They're the ones where those tasks can be cleanly separated from the human work. If you can pull the AI-friendly parts out of a role and hand them off without breaking anything, the role itself starts to look optional. But
- [$55K A Year And No Teachers](https://www.jeffturner.info/just-dug-up/55k-a-year-and-no-teachers/) - Parents appear to be lining up to hand over $55K a year to a school that has no teachers. Austin's Alpha school, which has a curriculum 100% driven by AI, is expanding to Chicago. At that price, this AI experiment had better work to improve education. And if this is the future of education, this
- [Sora Needed To Be Shutdown](https://www.jeffturner.info/just-dug-up/sora-needed-to-be-shutdown/) - This one doesn't surprise me at all. The novelty of Sora wore off quickly for me. Was it a fun toy to put yourself in situations you otherwise couldn't? Sure, but that's only impactful the first couple of times you do it. That said, I can't believe this won't surface somewhere else inside OpenAI, likely
- [AI, The Church, And Algorethics](https://www.jeffturner.info/just-dug-up/ai-church-algorethics/) - So much hope is being tied to artificial intelligence. Even in the Catholic church. “We thought this could be the greatest instrument of evangelization in history.” And this post uses a word I've never heard before, "algorethics." But it's apparently been around since 2018. I'm late to that party.
- [AI Is Attacking Thought Work First](https://www.jeffturner.info/just-dug-up/ai-is-attacking-thought-work-first/) - I shared this with my family yesterday. A pretty good conversation about the future ensued This is a new report from Tufts University looking at the potential impact of AI on the job market. It's indicating 9.3 millions jobs are at risk of displacement in the next 2 to 5 years.
- [Restoring Old Photos With AI Has Real Issues](https://www.jeffturner.info/just-dug-up/restoring-old-photos-with-ai-has-real-issues/) - The fundamental argument of this post is that the process AI uses to restore a photo is a prediction... a prediction it often gets wrong. I think AI does a good job of colorizing black-and-white images when you're not asking it to do anything else. However, when a photo is severely damaged, its facial predictions
- [Embracing AI While Focusing On Human Impact](https://www.jeffturner.info/just-dug-up/head-geneve-embraces-ai-while-focusing-on-human-impact/) - This is an interesting interview with Javier Fernández Contreras, associate professor and head of the Department of Space Design/Interior Architecture at HEAD Genève. It shows some thinking around how to incorporate new tech into design thinking. "Students now need to cultivate a combination of technical, conceptual, and ethical skills. They must be proficient in emerging
