A designer did make it! The process you undertook is called design!

AI slop landing page == not downloading or caring. I would much rather a much simpler and more minimal landing page designed by you with some intention, even if it looks less "professional"

I think Sam Altman has played a clever business move here, they can use this excuse immediately after the Hugging Face leaks and it's not going to be dismissed willy-nilly. Whereas long term they probably wanted to end their partnership with Cursor anyway. I bet Dario will be happy about this too, but maybe the compute deal prevents him from doing similar anytime soon.

Very interesting times we live in...

lovely

we live in a weird, wonderful, terrifying time

What a wonderful article (public radio!) and what wonderful work.

Heartening to see amidst a time of attacks on higher education.

very cool - it would be fun to load more detailed outlines at higher resolutions using map tiles or someing. at high zooms some of the shapes are quite blocky

This is incredible scrollytelling map work, especially for a student newspaper, I'm pretty amazed.

Great job using MapLibre too, glad it is getting more and more popular.

For others in the thread wondering about other examples of this kind of journalism/mapping/data work, to my knowledge the best term for it would be 'scrollytelling' or 'storymapping' (which is an ESRI term but is used generally as well).

There are a ton of examples out there, but I'm sad there isn't a central repository of really great ones. The NYT and The Pudding are two places that do pretty cool stuff like this.
