SIMON: What? SHAPIRO: ...Or saying... SIMON: You imagine that? SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over. SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level. SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this. SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

I say thanks! Ye are doing great work and people like Boyne and Rowling and the rest of them have lost their humanity. I'm sure it's hard to ignore them, but a lot more people see the world the way ye do. Solidarity from Vienna :-)

Sheas sé i lár an aonaigh agus thiocfadh a rá nár chuir sé é féin ansin ach gur chuir an pobal ann é. Ina bhealach séimh féin, chuir sé i gcuimhne dúinn fán ról atá ag an teanga maidir le tuiscint níos doimhne a fháil ar an cheantar thart orainn agus orainn féin. Mairfidh a oidhreacht i meon fiosrach spreagúil na nGael agus iontu siúd a théann sa tóir ar shaol níos doimhne agus fíoraithe. Suaimhneas síoraí ar a anam Gaelach. 💚
Perhaps unwillingly, he was the foremost cultural ambassador for our generation and instrumental in the resurgence of Irish language and culture. He gently reminded us of the role the language has in understanding our surroundings, and knowing ourselves. His legacy will live on in the curious minds of the Irish and beyond, in those who seek a deeper and more fulfilling life. Suaimhneas síoraí ar a anam Gaelach 💚
