Omd féar plé duit ! Tá sé sin thar a bheith impressive ar fad!! Déarfainn go raibh sé deacair é ar fad a chur le chéile. GRMA as cur leis an pobal acadúil leis chomh maith 😊

Could AI help you learn Gaeilge? Artificial intelligence could be the key to narrowing the language gap that locks aspiring Gaeilgeoirí out of learning the language

Táim thar a bheith bhuíoch chun a bheith foilsithe ag RTÉ! Labhraím faoi na deiseanna teicneolaíochta atá ann chun cumhacht a thabhairt do Ghaeilgeoirí.

I got to credit @kscanne.bsky.social, @kingdonncha1.bsky.social and @aonghusoha.bsky.social for their amazing work! 👏

Chruthaigh mé fotha nua a aimsíonn na postálacha ar fad scriofa i nGaeilge amháin! 🥳

It uses a little machine learning model to differenciate between posts tagged in Irish and posts that are actually written in Irish - love people using it on random posts 🤩

Bain triail as!

Labhair mé le Silicon Republic mar gheall ar mo thaighde le déanaí. Dar liomsa gur cheart do Ghaeilgeoirí a bheith in ann páirt a ghlacadh i gcursaí teicneolaíochta gan teorainn - agus táim tiomanta chun an cheart sin a chur i bhfeidhm.

Financial Times article on OpenAI's ChatGPT and DeepSeek.

OpenAI is concerned that DeepSeek might have trained models using their "proprietary" models...

They must be OUTRAGED! Imagine stealing content and using it to train AI models... 🙃 #TheyCouldNever

It isn't a proper game dev update without countless printlines and debug info being all over the place :)))

I'm so proud of how far I've come with my game dev project :)

This is a demo of some of the detective game mode features. I'm really happy with the "emotional dimension". Making everything fit a natural scale has taken some experimenting, hence the ugly white boxes :)

Twitch calling me out for not streaming by calling me grass-toucher of the year is pretty spot-on 💀☠️

Top 10% of game development though?! HUGE W

If you haven't read Swimming in the dark or Giovanni's Room then you're in luck because they are must-read books for gay people 💖
