5️⃣ Go-To AI Design Patterns: Move beyond basic prompt engineering.
🚀 Master the new classics – Mixed-Initiative Interaction, Accelerators, Verifiers & Galleries. They're crucial for building collaborative, useful and trustworthy AI experiences. #AIpatterns #UX #AIdesign
4️⃣ Prototyping AI? Tinker and user test.
🛠️ Effective AI design demands traditional user-focused testing AND hands-on technical experimentation (models, data, etc.).
In the probabilistic AI realm, bridging these worlds is key. #UX #AI #Prototyping #ProductDesign
3️⃣ Synthetic User Research: AI simulating group interactions?
🤔 Yes! While still emerging, Stanford AI simulations can already model group dynamics, offering a new way to augment traditional user research, especially for collaborative products. #AI #UX #UserResearch #NetworkEffects
2️⃣ Human/AI Control: It's not a binary choice.
🎚️ Forget simple sliders. A 2-axis grid (Human Control vs. Automation) helps find the sweet spot for your specific audience and context.
Think collaboration & smooth handoffs. #AIStrategy #ProductManagement
1️⃣ AI Agent Personality: Competence is complicated!
🤯 Stanford research showed **low-competence** social signals can sometimes boost adoption & usability.
Don’t always try to be the smartest AI in the room.

🚀 I spent 5 months & $5k in Stanford & MIT's latest AI product design classes.
I distilled the top takeaways for #ProductDesign & #UX folks building AI.

Mini revelation: That odd overall vibe that pervades AI-generated art... that thing that you cant quite put your finger on…
It's the same vibe that Matthew Barney (Cremaster Cycle, etc.) work emanated decades ago. #ai #aiart youtu.be/6xWtS9HsP4U

I adore Claude for using an animated butthole-pucker to say, “I’m diligently working on something.”

Classic usability blooper here: If you DON'T want to cancel, you need to tap "Cancel."
Easily fixable though with less ambiguous labels. Like: [Yes, cancel draft] [No, keep draft]

It's pretty hard to make the adjective "selfish" stick to Craig Newmark. He was offered so many times to turn craigslist into a $$$ machine... It could have made him $100s of millions but he refused to sell out and kept it strictly noncommercial for community benefit. Few in tech are less selfish...
