    »ShildFont is an open-source creative technology intervention developed to protect human writing from unauthorized AI training. Why? Writing makes us human. But at some point, we lost ownership. AI learns from it and uses it without explanation.«

    Danish type foundry PlayType teamed up with Brazilian creative studio Seneda & Abrucio to develop technology (and a font) to make text look perfectly normal to humans but poison the data that LLM bots scrape from it without permission. Fascinating! (via fastcompany.com)

    »LLMs drift, fabricate tokens, and start every session from scratch. Here’s how to feed your design system to AI coding agents so they stop guessing.«

    On my quest for a healthy way to integrate LLMs into my own design process a little more often, I stumbled across Hardik Pandya’s Expose your design system to LLMs. Noted.

    • LLMs

    »Yet, I want to know these tools, these new tools of increasing weirdness and danger. So I use them, daily, amid a constantly fluctuating state of bafflement and delight and horror (pessimistic, optimistic, manic). Over the last couple of months I’ve continued to use mostly Claude to work on a bunch of projects.«

    Author Craig Mod wrote about his most “Recent adventures in using LLMs”. For example sending out A Swarm of Blood Robots, to learn more about his ancestors based on his adoption papers.

    I would love to deep-dive into the specific use cases that great creative people come up with for this technology more often. Any recommendations?

    »Fast learns, slow remembers. Fast proposes, slow disposes. Fast is discontinuous, slow is continuous. Fast and small instructs slow and big by accrued innovation and by occasional revolution. Slow and big controls small and fast by constraint and constancy. Fast gets all our attention, slow has all the power.

    All durable dynamic systems have this sort of structure. It is what makes them adaptable and robust.«

    Lately, I’ve found myself repeatedly coming back to the concept of Pace Layering as laid out by Stewart Brand years ago in an essay for the Journal of Design and Science (JoDS), a sadly discontinued joint venture of the MIT Media Lab and the MIT Press.

  • »Macht schöne Dinge. Macht Dinge, die man benutzen kann. Macht einfache Dinge. Hütet Euch vor zu viel Kunstfertigkeit. Hütet Euch vor zu viel Wissen. Das Werk sollte gesund sein. Achtet die Handarbeit. Seid darauf bedacht, den Preis niedrig zu halten. Macht Gefäße, die Ihr selbst gern benutzt. Das Werk sollte bescheiden sein. Innere Klarheit ist die Grundlage der Schönheit. Beachtet die Eigenschaften des Materials. Beobachtet die Natur intensiv. Das Gefäß zu formen entspricht der Formung der eigenen Persönlichkeit.«

    »Heavy projects are the lifeblood of creative fulfillment — and creative longevity. And for now, no platform truly offers that kind of weight on its own. Platforms are built to amplify, not anchor.«

    I love this essay by Anu Atluru: Make Something Heavy.

    »Self-publishing on the internet is a rewarding and powerful experience – you can very quickly produce work that is accessible to billions of people for very low cost.

    Building websites is often seen as an uncreative, mathematics-based task undertaken by coders
    . This library encourages you to learn how to design and build interactive experiences and to consider this a tool in your design toolkit.«

    If you want to publish something online for the first time, this is a great starting point. As a matter of fact, even if you’ve been building websites for a while already, you might learn something new from the linked external resources.

    Unfortunately, its author Jake Dow-Smith hasn’t updated the website in almost a year, but it’s still well worth a look.
