An ad interrupted my video today, it was Tom Hanks in a podcast talking about his prostate. The ad was (not so obviously) AI generated; both an AI clone of his voice and an AI-generated face-swap/ lip replacement. This seemed pretty surprising because it was fairly convincing. He looks like he is saying the dialog of the ad. It's surprising because there's no way the creator of the ad got Hanks' approval to use his l…

3 times the page just scrolled to the top. Doesn’t seem like the UX team at google really knows anything about user experience but gradient colors keeps things fresh!

I literally can’t read this blog post because it keeps jumping to the top of the page to play the video again and again. Maybe take 10% of the time you spent dreaming up new colors to just make your blog function like a regular page instead of adding a million weird animations?

Same here. It took six designers to change the color of the YouTube logo, but the design department of a company that built its entire existence on the web can’t build a functioning website. Design is how it works. And your website doesn’t work.

They're professional designers, not HTML code monkeys, you insensitive clod!

Seriously, there are designers whose entire work output is PDFs or, more recently, stuff in L^HFigma, which lesser beings (read: developers) are expected to turn into functional HTML.

Make it windows 95 grey for all I care, just , for the love of whatever is sacred, improve the DOM to make it run smooth... I'm sure it is done to discourage you from using a browser and prefer their stupid app.

Amazing. Yet another overly specialized mobile website. Can't read the article because every few seconds it just scrolls back to the top.

I miss the days of html and little js.

CssZenGarden always had it right. That's where I learned early modern css during that transition from web1 to 2.

Whatever it's a new thing from Google that will make it more difficult to use whatever their product is.

Just disregard that millions of people know how to use things as-is, but to justify their jobs people need to change things that are working ok, instead of trying to do minor changes to improve the experience for the people on the edge.

> The ads lead users to a page on “thrivewithcuriosity.com,” where after confirming they are “40+” years old, they are shown a meandering and very explicit 40-minute long presentation about the miracle drug that is getting men including celebrities, strippers, and adult performers “rock hard.”

normalize the 40+ age check

> Notably, the ingredients do not include “midnight beetle powder,” which the long video pitching Prolong Power explains is the secret ingredient that gave the church bats their magnificent erections.

Reminds me of the infamous Pepsi logo redesign: https://www.goldennumber.net/wp-content/uploads/pepsi-arnell...

Thanks for the flashback! I forget when this was first leaked, but over the years, this has become my go-to example for premium artisanal marketing bullshit.

It was leaked in 2009 in this Reddit comment: https://www.reddit.com/r/funny/comments/7w0i2/comment/c07k9l...

Earlier quoted context omitted.

You just need to learn to embrace the Pepsi Universe: https://www.goldennumber.net/wp-content/uploads/pepsi-arnell... (For newcomers with limited time, scroll to the last 2 pages)

This is... genius, or parody? I can't tell.
