@clacke What do you think about the sorted bar stacks, with the longer bar at the top for decreasing and the longer bar at the bottom for increasing?

I personally have had trouble with arrows when the column is a date field. For me the decreasing date field is actually increasing age, so like USB sticks I need to try both directions before finally settling on the one I need.

During my kid’s student-led parent-teacher videoconference, the teacher suggested adult supervision for homework, to which my kid responded: “So, not you, Dad”.

I consulted with the referee (my partner) and apparently the tackle was valid. Ouch.

I've wondered about that at least once.

@silverwizard I must admit that I haven't read much AI criticism that I don't also share myself. The working theory I outlined earlier is based on a single poll that showed 40% of the responders were considering AI features at least somewhat negatively in new products.

When I learned about the poll, it went against my preconceived notion that the general public was more receptive to AI features, which would have partially explained the rush to implement it into anything and everything.

@silverwizard Oh I know I and the people I surrounded myself with don't want this privacy invasion. Beyond that, it becomes unclear to me that it would be the main factor of rejection. My main guess is there is a general disconnect between the data harvesting for AI purposes and the AI tools themselves. Meaning that people may be receptive to the AI tools and at the same time reject high-profile cases of data harvesting like the Reddit debacle, Twitter's change of terms of service, Recall, etc...

This would also mean that the general contempt for the latest AI-everywhere products wouldn't be based on the underlying data harvesting, but rather because they are disappointing products by themselves, regardless of their externalities you and I strongly care about.
