I suggest you change the demo.
1. Boys see girl
2. Boys fight over girl
Creator could have chosen literally anything else to represent their product but instead went with an animation of boy emojis fighting over a girl emoji.
- philipallstar 3mo agoYou could've commented literally anything else instead of this but instead went with a zero-content apparent criticism of the web page.
- praash 3mo ago> zero-content Changing the default demo is a reasonable and actionable suggestion.
- philipallstar 3mo agoBut not why.
- kreetx 3mo agoThe topic of the demo is just ..odd: it's negative in its nature, difficult to understand (is there a message or a joke in there?), the animation isn't aesthetically pleasing either.
- quietbritishjim 3mo agoYou just need to be older than 12 to understand what is problematic about the demo. Just pointing it out was sufficient.
- 9dev 3mo agoReproducing cringy sexist bullshit is a choice deserving of criticism.
- philipallstar 3mo agoNo-one's mentioned that anything's sexist, or how. You're filling in the blanks to create content where there wasn't any.
- nilirl 3mo agoThat's how conversation works. Things can be implied when it's obvious. And if it's not, the onus is on you to ask why.
- philipallstar 3mo ago> That's how conversation works. Things can be implied when it's obvious. That's how groupthink works. > And if it's not, the onus is on you to ask why. I have asked why. Note the lack of answers, but the surfeit of pearl-clutching replies.
- nilirl 3mo agoWhere's your argument, Braveheart? Why play coy? If people don't like this choice, where's your defense for it? The demo is not egregious by itself, it's the choice of the demo for this circumstance. Why boy-hits-boy-with-rock-for-girl for an animation DSL?
- oulipo2 3mo agoThe fact that EVERYBODY here sees it but you, tells you that perhaps you should take a step back and try to understand... it might be YOU who don't get it at all...
- csneeky 3mo agoI think the poster gets it. As do I. And I do not believe either of us care all that much about the vocal minority.

- oulipo2 3mo agoThe fact that people in the tech-world don't realize that they are embodying deeply ingrained sexist / toxic behavior is the reason why women aren't more present, and why people like Musk or other sociopaths have been celebrated by this community, while the rest of the world hate them...
- bckr 3mo agoYes. It’s astonishing how I see individuals with these enormous egos centered on their intellectual, technical achievements, who have such egregious blindspots surrounding their own unethical attitudes and behavior. Sirs, please turn the apparatus upon itself. Question yourself as a part of a larger system. What is your function among members of your own species? How can you falsify your hypotheses on this subject? Please don’t be so incurious.
- Garlef 3mo agoyeah... AI doesnt seem to make us more creative
- jappgar 3mo agoIronically I don't think AI is this tone deaf.
- anentropic 3mo agoSuch a weird and creepy choice
- bckr 3mo agoWhere I made up my mind is during “dance party” where the boys have faces and the girl has a dancing woman for a head. Overall the idea is creative, but also not at all what I hoped. Was hoping for diagrams of actors in the systems sense.
- upmostly 3mo agoIf you thought that was bad, whatever you do, do NOT click the play button for the 5th step-by-step example: Expressions & Limbs. I've never, EVER, in 18 years of being in this business, seen a software product demo of an emoji doing THAT before...
- bckr 3mo agoWow. That sure is something.
