The novel PROCESS is the tragicomic story of an embittered failed tech entrepreneur in his own words. It’s published by Ireland-based independent press Tune & Fairweather. I even read the audiobook. You can listen to me. www.tuneandfairweather.com/collections/...

The irony is, even for most streamlined game dev learning platforms, Roblox has like, professionally speaking, shit for actual game ai tools. But now can I use an LLM to generate an FSM?

Lol this is in Los Olivos, the fanciest town in central coast CA wine country. It has one stop sign in the center of town, no traffic light. The winery Paul Giamatti chugs from the spit bucket is down the block. You ain't moving here unless your rich, the house is irrelevant.

The notion that you could use the term phD in marketing as a product this is laughable

Why are they they fighting Zohran harder than they’re fighting Trump

Zombies in movies have been metaphors for communism, xenophobia, post 9-11 terrorism, social media, etc, but have they ever been a metaphor for... Boomers? (re: Cuomo not giving up the race)
