Today, I asked an AI tool where I could find support for it. It gave me three incorrect URLs in sequence. AI is not ready for us. #AI #AIhallucinations

A11y folk: How do you help your clients remember the basic rules of accessibility for content creators? I have provided a written guide and in-person online training. Retention is still poor. When your client is already committed to accessibility, how do you help them to embrace accessibility as an ongoing effort. #Accessibility #a11y

@alexhall@mastodon.social VS Code's keyboard navigation can be so annoying. Unfortunately, VS Code is not upholding the MS keyboard shortcut convention of providing Alt + underlined letter, underlined letter, etc. combos for every menu option. There are still many combos available, but it's not complete. At least they figured out how to add Ctrl+Tab to switch between files in the editor.

@carstingaxion @111 Yes, that is a huge number. It may be at the scale that WP uses Meetup that they get a better rate per meetup.

@carstingaxion @111 I also just checked out the new plugin screen and they do feature plugins with fewer installs and reviews. I can see about getting GP featured there too.
@AlSweigart@mastodon.social Depends what you want to emphasize. Give that the higher contrast of black on white. (I prefer the first to emphasize the goal.)

@mikemccaffrey@a11y.social @aardrian@toot.cafe @Kalamuna@mastodon.social Also, in the language modal, there is no change of state while tabbing onto the X.
While scanners can be helpful, nothing beats hiring an auditor to ensure accessibility.

@mhoye@cosocial.ca I love that. It wasn't till I looked it up that I found there were multiple versions.

@ahau@tribe.net To be fair, vague prompts increase the likelihood of hallucinations. In my case, It was a very clear prompt. How vague can a prompt be when you are asking for support for the product?

@ahau@tribe.net That's a good point. Scaling operations like AI is challenging and can cause unintended consequences. It reminds me a little of the Web 2.0 days. We had so much computing power plugged into an unprepared grid, San Francisco had regular blackouts. I think we can see similar growing pains in AI.
