Evolving Design Language in the AI Era: From Good to Great
Explore how the AI era reshapes design language, emphasizing objective critique over subjective opinions for successful outcomes.
Popmelt — Design copilots for AI agents
Our Taste models encode design expertise and philosophy, giving AI agents instant access to a curated catalog of aesthetic knowledge. Unlike traditional templates and design systems, our imprints are AI-native and guided by universal principles. This means agents can apply them to any interface scenario, not just predefined layouts and elements. They're also customizable and extensible, letting you build quickly without falling into the cookie-cutter UI library trap.
Care at the Edge of Automation – Topos Institute
Technologies don’t just solve problems, they change us. We invent technologies, and they invent us in turn, shaping our lives and worlds. This is the phenomenon that Terry Winograd and Fernando Flores, in Understanding Computers and Cognition (1986), called “ontological design.” It matters now more than ever—along with a second lesson they saw clearly. Technological research is always guided (and sometimes misguided) by deep ontological assumptions about, e.g., the nature of cognition, agency, and communication. If we are to create technologies that truly serve human flourishing and care, we must bring these hidden assumptions into the open and question them at their roots.

A tale of two Agent Builders
What two competing solutions to the same design problem tell about the future of designing AI interfaces.

Big AI is accelerating the metacrisis: What can we do?
The world is in the grip of ecological, meaning, and language crises that are converging into a metacrisis. Big AI is accelerating them all. LLM engineering sits at the core. Despite the public good motives of language engineers and the promise of LLMs, this work is being leveraged to create unprecedented wealth and power for a handful of individuals and corporations while causing existential harm to life on earth. As a profession, we urgently need to come together to explore alternatives and to design a life-affirming future for our field of natural language processing that is centered on human flourishing on a living planet.
