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

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.

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

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 :)

This is such wonderful news for the area. I'd love to go because like Cillian himself, my parents and their parents used to see films there. I remember walking past when it was closed thinking that it was so cool that there was a cinema in the Gaeltacht. 🥳

I am obsessed with final fantasy! I'm currently playing FFXVI. I am partial to some Overwatch and Dead By Daylight. The Harry Potter trilogy on PC was my childhood.
