Sterling Cooper built your UX process. We need to redefine it in the age of AI and systems.
Modern creative work was assembled in the mid-century ad agency, and UX inherited the whole show. Now is time for a reset in the age of AI. AI assisted. The rituals of the 1960s ad shop — the whiskey, the pitch room, the account man, the campaign— still shape how UX teams fail in many environments. We have to change th

CNN chronicled the slide in software shares and blamed AI, worrying that as models get better at building and doing, demand for conventional software erodes. Two days later, T
What The Matrix got right about AI
The famous choice was never about the pills, it was about whether to see the system at all. AI assisted. More Than 25 Years On, The First Film’s Picture Of Machine Intelligence Reads Less Like Science Fiction And More Like A Product Roadmap The Matrix arrived in 1999 wearing sunglasses and a trench coat, and most peopl
