I’ve been talking a lot lately about my new products where I teach #designsystems, so a lot of people have been asking to see design systems that I’ve made.
That’s a fair and reasonable request!
In tomorrow’s newsletter, I’ll show my design system portfolio to 28,200+ subscribers.
It probably doesn’t look like what you’d expect.

The ways AI can perpetuate bias (thanks to the data used for training) are disheartening yet unsurprising.
But don't miss the punch line:
"The AI model doesn’t just replicate stereotypes or disparities that exist in the real world — it amplifies them to alarming lengths."
🚨Generative AI has a serious problem with bias🚨
Over months of reporting, @dinabass and I looked at thousands of images from @StableDiffusion and found that text-to-image AI takes gender and racial stereotypes to extremes worse than in the real world.

"AI-art generators are trained on enormous datasets, containing millions upon millions of copyrighted images, harvested without their creator’s knowledge, let alone compensation or consent. This is effectively the greatest art heist in history. "

New Pew/CDC data: Gun deaths among U.S. children and teens rose 50% in two years—up 100% in 10 years
This is the highest level of gun violence against children recorded this century, and more than 2X higher than the 2012 low.

📢Ask these agencies why they’re helping, and profiting, from a company that has a long history of lies and deceit.

In 2020, Nature endorsed a political candidate for the 1st time in its history: Biden over Trump. A new study finds that "undermined and polarized public confidence in the journal & the scientific community." Here's why that's misleading. skepchick.org/2023/03/study-…

My hot (?) take is that I think designers should feel bad about themselves for using contemporary aesthetics to make gambling look cool.
Sons & Daughters ID show us how to brand contemporary gambling in their identity for Let’s Casino → t-bi.link/letscasino
