@ploum I'm concerned that Julius is the same person that @ludicity calls Synergy Greg. Noone has ever seen Julius and Synergy Greg in the same room together... coincidence? I think not!

@jamesravey @ludicity : have you a link to that Synergy Greg piece ?

I’ve read ludic.mataroa.blog/blog/you-mu and can’t agree more. I’m even forcing my students to read one book during the semester and had the exact same experience : read books to get better. (before writing my last novel, I spent one year reading 10 books from various authors about "how to write a novel". I thought I didn’t need it. I was already a published author after all. But, wow, the effect on my writing was massive)

@ploum that's awesome! Generally I have to say I really love pretty much everything @ludicity has to say about AI and the tech industry and I heartily share his work with my colleagues - I also really enjoy a lot of your essays too 😍 before Julius I enjoyed "A society that lost focus"

Synergy Greg is a standalone poem: ludic.mataroa.blog/blog/synerg

But he is also referenced in "I will fucking piledrive you if you mention AI again" ludic.mataroa.blog/blog/i-will

@jamesravey @ludicity : thanks, another RSS feed to discover!

@ploum @ludicity no problem! For what it is worth I think I may have been mistaken. I think Synergy Greg is actually what happens when Julius gets promoted well above his capability to department head or something 😅

Enjoy feed diving!

@jamesravey @ludicity : that’s fine, that means that Julius and Synergy Greg can both have great and complementary careers ;-)

@ploum @jamesravey Someone just sent me the Julius piece, and I only realized it was you a few seconds ago because it mentioned sci-fi writing. It was absolutely amazing, and I cracked up at the very last line.
