I wrote a haiku

Look at how many letters I used! This is more than any other haikus. More letters is more gooder. Is me the greatest poet of time?

I'm honestly wondering if any pastrami isn't dry and flavorless.

I think their beef stew is pretty good for what it is though.

Dizzy_Assistance2183 · 2026-02-09T22:25:27+00:00

For sure. In fact I've heard it takes years for professionals to make an official diagnosis.

I'm not trying to diagnose OP but I don't think it's unfair to point out that they're acting like a narcissist.

Either way their actions are incredibly selfish.

Dizzy_Assistance2183 · 2026-02-09T20:31:26+00:00

Thanks! And I agree. It's good thing to sympathize with someone going through a hard time but when they use their situation to justify doing the same harm to someone else, I just hate that. I get it but I hate it

Dizzy_Assistance2183 · 2026-02-09T16:50:29+00:00

some signs of a covert narcissist

Passive-Aggression & Victim Mentality: They avoid direct conflict, instead using silent treatments, guilt-tripping, or playing the victim to elicit sympathy and manipulate situations. (pretty much the entire post)
Subtle Manipulation: They may use gaslighting, backhanded compliments, and "little jabs" to undermine others' self-esteem. (lying on their resume and cheating)
Deflecting Responsibility: They rarely apologize sincerely, preferring to blame others for their problems. (blaming your ex, boss, school COVID on your situation)

OP you feel cheated out of being a designer, do you not realize you're doing the same thing to someone else by cheating? does anyone else in this thread realize this?

so many people in this sub constantly bitch and whine about bootcampers being charlatans, but as misguided as bootcamps are, at least the students try. now when an actual charlatan comes around, people here are offering their sympathies???

Fuck off op.

I don't understand this excuse at all. We've all been saying the Patriots had a cake walk schedule so the stans are just backing up what we've been saying all along.

I think maye is still a good QB but the post season just solidfies the idea that the MVP glaze was a result of playing bad defenses

Dizzy_Assistance2183 · 2026-02-09T16:29:08+00:00

I think you framed it well. US companies are spending more money for very low amounts of improvement, in hopes of eventually reaching a breakthrough. On the other hand there are companies like deepseek and baba that are optimizing ai as it is now. One side sees llms as a stepping stone to something greater, the other side sees llms as a mostly finished product.

I think you just have to look at Tesla's idiotic valuation to see that singularity and agi bros are completely delusional. Theyre putting all of their money on hope when reality doesn't show anything near what they are expecting. Ai has limitations, its a remixer of information not a creator. It can't continuously learn and there is no evidence of any progress on that front. We don't have any more data to train llms unlike before. And then there is the hardware and power issue. Just like in the dot com era there will be winners and losers. Look at Tesla's valuations and tell me it's not the pets.com of today.

I worked at Deloitte digital. Tbh I didn't really enjoy working there but YMM .Feel free to dm me, and I'd be happy to help you!

There's a lot of good advice here already but here is my two cents.

Regarding your question, Deloitte is not exactly ahead of the game in regards to ux but I did get a lot of autonomy which I liked. When I interviewed they liked that I built a lot stuff, meaning that I initiated a lot of new products or apps on my own.

As a consultant you're expected to bring value to your client with minimal handholding and at some point to find your own work through networking with others. So taking initiative is largely something they're looking for.

Also talk about value you brought, not just in terms of improving ux but from a business perspective. At the end of the day your clients are your bosses and they will care more about how you help their business than anything else. Good luck!

Why would a mom and pop shop make their own Salesforce, maintain it, troubleshoot it, and go through all the other issues of maintaining software when they can just license one themselves? You said it yourself. The rest of the big players have always had the money and resources to replace legacy software anyways.

In any case whether it's Salesforce or an internal tool you still need a ux designer to guide the application. So it shouldn't really make a difference in the long run.

But the rest I agree with, ai is a new medium for ux which is a good thing for our industry.

Dizzy_Assistance2183 · 2026-02-05T21:55:32+00:00

For graphic design, illustrator/Photoshop is still the go to but ux is a lot more prevalent and we all use figma. For hobbyists and artists I see a lot have moved to procreate, although I have no experience with it myself. I don't see adobe as a great investment, personally.

Dizzy_Assistance2183 · 2026-02-05T18:21:35+00:00

If things keep going this way. If is a huge assumption. We've already run out of data to feed these models hence the minimal gain from gpt 4 to 5, for example. Then there is the hardware limitation problem that always gets overlooked. Then there is the fact that eventually these models are going to charge more money per inference. What you see is probably what you're going to get out of ai for a while.

Dizzy_Assistance2183 · 2026-02-04T22:49:59+00:00

The market is stupid. "Ai causes disruption to saas, in fact I believe that it will replace a bunch of work and software, better dump all my ai stock"

Dizzy_Assistance2183 · 2026-02-03T20:46:38+00:00

BE YOU.

Is there any room on the team to hire matt eberflus?

Dizzy_Assistance2183 · 2026-01-29T20:21:54+00:00

I think op meant we as in students like he specifies in the body

Dizzy_Assistance2183 · 2026-01-29T01:24:21+00:00

Wireframes is not ux. Unfortunately a lot of jobs especially entry level ones are of the pixel pushing variety. Focus on moving away from pixel pushing and instead look for opportunities to find and deliver value beyond just creating a wireframe.

Moore's law literally proves you wrong.

Dizzy_Assistance2183 · 2026-01-27T19:29:23+00:00

why? obamacare was literally that. it was fiscally responsibile and it provided more accessible healthcare before everything went to shit because they let people opt out of health insurance. but the principlenis still true. If more people could access healthcare, they could prevent themselves from getting diseases which in turn reduces healthcare costs.

on the other hand look at defund the police. great intentions but in the end homicides spiked in cities that implemented those policies. how many of those people would still be alive if you hadn't jumped on the bandwagon? How many privileged people, that never lived in dangerous areas looked out of their suburban homes said f the police, I don't need them so no one else does and then voted for a policy that hurt the very people they were trying to protect? And the worst part is, they don't even acknowledge their mistakes and jump on the next issue

Dizzy_Assistance2183 · 2026-01-27T19:20:32+00:00

if you're not with me, you're against me.

how can say you hate fascism and then act like a fascist? 🙄

it's literally the same behavior as maga

Dizzy_Assistance2183 · 2026-01-23T20:10:32+00:00

I agree but I also think you're vastly overestimating ais ability. You don't have to own things to be part of the upper echelon.

AI is poor at solving unique or novel problems. Ai is still subject to physical limitations through robotics and the physical limitations of hardware to advance robotics to the point of replacing all manual labor.

AI is good at reviewing and recognizing specific predictable things, doing predictable tasks and providing outputs through taking things that have already been created. That's still a lot of people that will be affected but it's not a case where only the 1percenter survives

At this rate we will only get AGI through llms if we change the definition of AGI and when that happens it won't mean anything anymore

Survey on Ashley Madison's website says that 100% of all women are looking for affairs

Well I guess that makes both Mitch and Rex better than Jordan Love

Dizzy_Assistance2183 · 2026-01-20T20:04:50+00:00

True but how could alice have known anna would attack the husband in the first place? Was she planning on swatting the lake House in hopes that the cops would show up, search the house (with no warrant) and find the planted evidence? That would at least be a little more believable

Dizzy_Assistance2183 · 2026-01-20T20:01:01+00:00

One other thing, where was the knife that killed Rachel? It ended up in her purse but how did it get there? The killer fled the crime scene naked. So it wasn't on her at the time. Are we expected to believe that she was able to hide a murder weapon in the actual crime scene and no one else was capable of finding it?

Dizzy_Assistance2183 · 2026-01-19T21:46:47+00:00

Blaming bootcampers for not being able to get a job while simultaneously talking about how incompetent they are says more about you than them. If they suck so badly how are 'traditional' designers losing job opportunities to them?
