> Artcraft took screen shots and a list of functions and got Claude to generate code based on those. The functions exist in the app, but a lot of them don’t work. You end up with something that looks like Photoshop, and it works a bit, until you try anything beyond what Microsoft Paint does. Or maybe curves. Or editing a 10,000 by…

I have 5 years of digital accessibility experience manually testing with JAWS, Voiceover on Mac and NVDA. On the mobile side I can use Talkback and Voiceover for testing. I've tested thousands of government pages, SPA's, (single page web apps), desktop apps and mobile native iOS and Android testing. I have 37 years of lived experience transitioning from low vision to blindness. I've lead projects and lead teams alongside client management as well. I've also recruited and interviewed within my digital accessibility positions. I'm currently looking for a new role and would love to connect and talk about the position. Please help get me hired as it is not just me I have to support. #getmehired #hireme #hire #GetMeHired

"Margaret Hamilton, a profoundly influential computer scientist best known for leading the software engineering team at MIT during NASA’s Apollo program, died on Sep. 30. She was 90.

A computing pioneer who authored over 130 publications, Hamilton helped to establish software engineering as a dedicated discipline."

We all remember her from these iconic pictures.

Mom: What's with these AIs escaping and hacking people?

Me: You park your car at the top of a hill. You leave a note on the dashboard that says "please be good" and then you pull the parking brake. The car careens down the hill, smashes everything up, and you put out a press release saying "My car ignored my instructions! It hallucinated! It went rogue!" Your insurance company not only believes you, but invests $100 million in your company.

Mom: Jesus Fucking Christ

The cost of AI

The tech giants are creating a system with the appeal of a 19th-century factory, complete with oppressed and estranged workers, without delivering the sole benefit: cheaper stuff. After each conversation about AI, ask what the true cost of the tokens would be. Nobody knows, but raising awareness is a good idea.
