"A stack of Python scripts in a trenchcoat"
It's also an invitation to have fun with words!

I'd like to hear more ideas for "agent" ("probabilistic, unverified software manipulator" is precise but unwieldy)

I bet we could brainstorm some possibilities here

your criticisms of ai are outdated if you haven't updated your priors to the new capabilities of dicey scripts
My first thought is "dicey script" to invoke the sense of being a probabilistic and unreliable way to make a computer do things

Your colleague is booking tickets using dicey scripts
I am not installing dicey scripts on my computer
That guy lost a bunch of data when it was deleted by a dicey script

Now that we won against 🏒, I demand OFMD gets a physical release, a bts book with annotated scripts, a marathon cinema release, three seasons, and a movie. To start. 💯

This begs for spec scripts.
Obsessed with this right-wing AI slop threatening that Democrats will make everyone eat hummus

Also need to point out that @jamieflanagan.com co-wrote many of these episodes and the scripts are 🔥🔥🔥

Does anyone know where I can find comic scripts to read? I'm interested in writing comic scripts and I want to see how it's done.

The BBC points out that the UK Govt has, fascinatingly, published the scripts prepared by the chief medical officers to be delivered by radio in the event of a national power outage, which is one of the scenarios worrying Govt.

There are several things that Australia's ABC and the UK's BBC have in common.

Notably, the same scripts for providing cover to the genocidal apartheid rogue state.
Just astonishing, isn’t it?

Don't worry, James Gunn has prepared for this. He has 4 scripts about seemingly laughable superpeople who swear and do violence ready to have the names changed!

"Scripts written only by women give women 54% of the dialogue, more than double the 25% in scripts written only by men. Mixed teams sit in between at 39%."
Und das ist nur der Anfang.
Would movies treat women differently if more women wrote them?
I analysed every line of 2,607 screenplays to see how movies write women, and what changes when women do the writing.
