English-speaking followers! WAIT! *STORY TIME* A few years ago, I met a producer who asked me if I was tempted by the idea of writing for TV, and offered to talk about it around a drink. I spent the whole week thinking about it, took some notes, played a thousand scenes in my head…

I think it’s important for anyone who (completely understandably) checked out on AI the second the crypto/nft/metaverse/snake oil chuds started pushing it to realize that, in at least the domain of software development, we are very much living in a scenario where the snake oil actually works

personally think if the line is going to be “no gen ai in anything” then the you might have to consider divesting from AAA games entirely because this is just what the industry is now, whether they admit it so publicly or not

Wrong answers only. My bet: thanks for all the fish.

Coding agents reduce software development to a simple matter of: * specifying requirements * verifying correctness and quality * maintaining and operating software you didn't write As we all know, those have always been the easiest, most well-understood parts of the craft, so everything is fine!

I knew about this and I love it, if you didn't please enjoy this thread. Also last I heard about it, it was maintained with funding from a yogurt company, which for some reason is hilarious to me.

If you think I would pass up this opportunity, you don't know me.

I'm looking forward to "stop writing code" and "stop reading code" to evolve into "stop running code" and we just revert back to an agrarian society.

Questa non l'avevo mai sentita, bellissima storia. Ricorda quel bellissimo racconto di Buzzati, "Paura alla Scala", che parrebbe ispirato dai fatti se non fosse stato scritto una ventina d'anni prima.

Proviamo, con la Macchina del Tempo, a ripercorrere una giornata politica di un giorno qualsiasi di molti anni fa. Per esempio il 22 ottobre del 1976. Il Governo ha un grosso problema da risolvere. L’inflazione a due cifre. Questa la cronaca di una giornata di paura. e.pcloud.link/publink/show...

Triplice fischio all'Olimpico 🔚 Nel primo tempo la doppietta di Kone per i giallorossi, nella ripresa quella di Lautaro per i nerazzurri

E' sempre la solita storia. Oggi come allora. Aprile 1985 – Tra poco ci sono le elezioni amministrative. E come sempre accade, c’è solo un modo per vincere le elezioni. Non badare a spese. e.pcloud.link/publink/show...

In our last thread, we discussed some general contexts of exploitation films and their relevance to “Bitch Planet.” Now we’re going to zero in on the comic’s engagement with the complex politics of a specific subgenre of exploitation: the women-in-prison” film. 1/12 #ComicsStudies #BitchPlanet

Quante sciocchezze. Meloni vanta d’aver respinto i dublinanti, ma così ha violato obblighi Ue. Rivendica il divieto di carne coltivata, ma con norme inapplicabili per contrasto col diritto Ue. Dice che l’Ue ha copiato i centri in Albania, ma il Patto Ue non li prevede. E tutti si bevono tutto.
