Kudos to Ferrari trying to stay modern with a collab with one of the best industrial designers of the moment. But this feels antithetical to Ferrari, it's bland and utilitarian where they should be channeling flair and evocative designs.
I've recently re-instated a Photoshop subscription and its now part of my core AI generated asset workflow. AI is fantastic at art direction but it needs minor adjustments to make it production ready. E.g putting real screenshots in with correct placement, smoothing, editing out artefacts etc.
I can't imagine the lengths I'd have to go to to instruct an LLM to do these tasks with words.
We've recently been without water in the UK for 5 days (water company failings). I've come to appreciate mains water and how its utility is hard felt by omission for toilets, washing & cleaning. Immensely grateful to have it back now.

Having recently had an infuriating experience with an Android app submission, it seems there's a horde of people in a similar jam, running the senseless bureaucratic review process gauntlet: https://www.reddit.com/r/androiddev/comments/1ck1wyp/did_goo...
This triggered following a shallow rabbit hole through their history. It's a nice double meaning to incorporate their initials (Blimie & Herman) and heritage in one brand name.
Similar points were covered in the recent Tyler Cowen podcast with Tobi Lütke[1] regarding economic stagnation in Canada & Germany (relative to the US).
The UK has a cynical view on progress, likely leading to a self-fulfilling prophecy. The US seems to have a contrasting view with an optimistic by default outlook.
I call this program in one's head "suspended comprehension" as it has a degree of transience and fragility that requires effort to resume where you left off.
I don't suppose it's a problem that can be fully solved; just an ongoing arms race.
The hardest part is not deterring genuine users at such a decisive consideration stage.
A bit of a curveball I spotted was professional skill marketplaces like https://www.bark.com/en/gb/software-development/ which, when on the platform, you'll find people posting their esoteric software dev requests which could lead to some interesting gigs.
Without knowing the security measures in place, it strikes me as a ripe vulnerability to any determined nefarious actor to destroy or infiltrate this submersible data centre.
