Falling into the addiction for text-to-image models. This is a small piece I wrote, testing how a poem can be seen trhough the lenses of AI-assisted generative art.

Down on the shores of Africa
for some years now you’ve been asleep.
You don’t remember the lighthouse now
or the delicious Sunday sweet.

@JFPuget Can't agree more! The theoritical background , algorithms and known applications are spread among multiple math textbooks making really hard for someone to get familiar with the domain. Not even question about practical tutorials except the ones from the licenced softwares.

The mainstream rise of dogecoin really exemplifies this. You shill your token of choice because you want it to go up, and that's pretty much all there is to it. It's naked pump and dump, no longer backed by any fancy narrative that involves eventual adoption or value creation.

There are over 2 BILLION people in the world living with a disability.

And a significant percentage of them are struggling to play games. 🚫🎮

As part of the Global Accessibility Awareness Day #GAAD, this is a list of #gamedev resources to design more accessible games.

Stories is a great example of a feature that was designed to operate fully autonomous, out of the reach of any user driven control system. It is there to lurk people in. If it doesn't feels for ever we use a story. Flooding the system with more information about ourselves.

Stories are coming to Twitter. Disappointing.

1. This is a highly toxic mechanic.
2. It's sold to us with wrong assumptions (probably known to them, but this makes the new feature easier to swallow).
