While Phano does not use AI for anything, Phano's platform, Framer, has implemented an AI functionality as a design assisting tool. For non-Enterprise customers, Framer says it may use AI inputs and outputs in a de-identified form to train its own AI models.

It's not enough to narrate intensely to make a story intense. Readers stop flinching at fake punches. They stop believing. Nobody sticks around for fictions authors tell themselves about themselves. Not even a whiff of it.

For interfaces that are memory hogs (like design applications), making the user have to double-click to make a precise selection or input is an egregious usability blunder.

UPDATE: Gov. @nedlamont.com released the following statement to me on ICE arresting the son of an Afghan interpreter here in Connecticut.
Notably, Lamont said ICE detained the 19-year-old "outside of his home." That's new.

The Sphinx Gate in The Neverending Story symbolizes the judgments of those who listen to stories, who awaken to destroy falsehoods that break a story’s spell.
