It's fascinating that Frontier Language Models perform reasoning (through a latent space ie. J-space) that mimics how humans can think about one thing while doing another task. Anthropic's research on Claude and neuroscience’s Global Workspace Theory (GWT) is incredible. “If the mind is an ocean, we spend our lives floating at the surface. Beneath us, an enormous amount of processing takes place without our knowledge.”

By watching the J-space, we can see Claude silently perform reasoning steps in its head—noticing bugs in code, identifying images, and more.

My sketches 🎨 from rooms & galleries 🖼️ at the @V_and_A in 2025-2026. Including recent sketches from the #Schiaparelli exhibition. The V&A is a magical place ✨ I keep re-visiting for inspiration 🎨 and creativity.

This is such a timely report on where things are at (mid 2026) on Design and IA across Tooling, Craft & Teams. It's good to also compare the report findings & align from a (across the pond) Europe and UK PoV. Themes • Designers as Toolmakers & Architects: The highest-leverage designers encode taste and systems into AI workflows. • Speed vs. Depth Tension: Velocity is up, but preserving judgment, taste, and exploration time is critical. • Human Edge: Taste, strategic framing, storytelling, and accountability remain distinctly human advantages. • Fluid Future: Expect continued tool churn, role evolution, and custom stacks rather than standardisation. Role and Team • Learning remains peer-driven • Roles are blurring rapidly between design, product, and engineering. No surprise there. • Expectations are rising faster than formal policies or structures can deal with. • Hiring is now prioritising AI fluency, systems thinking, and strategic skills. • Block-shaped Designers are IN. the most notable Quote in the report “The T-shaped designer is dead. We need block-shaped designers with strong capabilities across disciplines.”

This belongs to all of us.

Incredible. Love this 💛

That's spot on — jumping straight to code can sideline the exploratory magic of design: typography, colour, rhythm, composition. After a few weeks tinkering with these new AI & agentic tools (OpenClaw, Claude Code, etc.) and plugins, I'm seeing how they open fresh entry points in our workflows — accelerating paths to outcomes without killing creativity. It's like pottery: shape the clay, fire it in the kiln, glaze the piece, then package it. These tools become new considerations or touchpoints we can explore in those steps. As Frank Chimero writes in The Shape of Design, design is about imagining a better future and cleverly closing the gap between what is and what could be — through iteration, empathy, and making for others. shapeofdesignbook.com These AI additions are just more tools in the kit; it's on us to understand their strengths, test their fit for the problem, and weave them into processes that still prioritise exploration, idea comparison, and refinement. Ultimately, the AI tool debate feels more about organisational design: where do these AI touchpoints slot in to enhance teams without disrupting the craft?

This is pretty neat. 🔥

Just watched the WEF Davos 2026 session "The Day After AGI" with Demis Hassabis (@demishassabis) and Dario Amodei (@DarioAmodei) — two of the sharpest minds racing toward AGI. youtube.com/live/mmKAnHz36… It's a forward-looking, high-level conversation among leading AGI lab CEOs on the imminent convergence toward AGI (often projected for the 2030s), the bottlenecks ahead, and preparing society for "the day after" it arrives. Framed optimistically around growth and innovation, it's a candid acknowledgment of the profound risks and the need for careful stewardship. As a designer curious about how tech reshapes everything, it really hits home. AI won't just automate — it's poised to explode abundance, accelerate science, and perhaps even redefine human purpose. We need taste, ethics, and stewardship to keep the human spark alive. Huge opportunities ahead, real risks too. 💭🚀 #AGI #AI #Future #WEF2026 #Innovation

You can now design directly in your codebase. Select elements, modify them visually, and Cursor writes the code.

Great article @lil_dill from the 1927 edition of The Atlantic— incredible at the similarities, esp when reflecting on today’s influence that AI is having @karrisaarinen — on Design, culture, tastes & processes. Certainly a time to be optimistic at opportunities the next few years could bring, the challenges to traditional norms (like in 1927) to expect & how Design can shape business during this AI revolution. I couldn’t help but think 💭 🤔 (while reading the article) of all the other contexts people were experiencing at the time 😀 & what influences occurred only a few years later (after 1927)— ie post War Roaring 20’s influences across Design, Fashion, Architecture, Technology & Art. - the rapid home electrification ⚡️ boom, where ~ approx 68% of households 🏡 were electrified by 1930. - sound in films for the first time and the first electronic TV’s 📺 (the Farmsworth) in 1927 - shifts in consumer products tastes such as the Chevrolet vs Ford 🚙 and styled radios 📻 the article mentions - modernist buildings & Architecture that blended function & aesthetics such as the Chrysler building & Rockefeller Centre built at the time - Art Deco influences from Bauhaus, Cubism & Art Nouveau - Fashion trends and elegance demands — decorative motifs, Flapper culture, bob hairstyles, Italian trends, Coco Channel’s little black dress, Jeanne Lanvin & Elsa Schiaparelli. ⏳👍⭐️ Thanks @karrisaarinen and @lil_dill for sharing

Great atmosphere here ⚽️ at #Arsenal with Bukayo Saka 🌟 back in the squad. We missed you🧣👍
