Wow, the compression on the video here makes this unrecognizable. The HDR video looks amazing.

Design fiction is the deliberate use of diegetic prototypes to suspend disbelief about change.

The mantra of “ the future is in the past” is rattling around my head as I read this book.

the objective shouldn’t be, ‘How do we produce that brilliant new killer product?’ It should be a dynamic process that never really stops, with pathways for feeding critical insights from those explorations back into the organization, in ways that will actually seize on and focus people’s attention

Time to cozy up and get to reading Design Fiction. Thanks for the present kids.

Just got the books. Pretty hilarious so far. One joke book full of ads from possible futures.

Like the Qwerty keyboard. Not the best keyboard, but the better alternative is worse if everything with a keyboard would have to change and everyone would have to relearn it.

I’ve heard it called “lock in”. Once enough infrastructural and technology is built on something else, it’s locked in. You can’t change it. That’s why it’s so important to get platforms right the first time.

My 14-year-old son and I are loving it. I keep thinking each new episode is going to fall off like some of their other series. But each one delivers. Either through new characters, themes, or digging deeper into the characters we have. Very smart show so far 🐘

They delivered. Heartwarming moments and a pretty good twist.

Also interesting to see how all-in they went on practical effects. Like watching a Muppets movie. It seems like almost everything inside their virtual production volume is physical, but everything outside is digital. Must be so fun for the kids to act against.

Makes sense, I think. 🤔 it’s not that we are using the other universes for computational power. It’s just the fact that they exist and then we can pick the one that we’re in? I just don’t get how this helps compute anything. Like what kind of questions would a quantum computer answer?
