Scritti pratici e sinceri su soft skill, comunicazione, sicurezza in sé, relazioni e modi sani di usare un compagno AI - dal team di Fellowi.
Six weeks after a layoff, one stage at a time: the evening it happened, the money loop, the voice that says it was your fault, the empty job board tab and the first interview.
One ten-slide deck, reviewed the night before the talk: the title slide, the section breaks, the slide that explains an idea, the data slide and the last one. A fix for each.
The details that make a face someone's are the first thing a model forgets. Five of them, ranked from the one that holds best to the one that drifts most, with a sentence to borrow for each.
Carers rarely open a chat with a question. Five sentences they type instead, and what an AI psychologist does with each, from the snap you regret to the care home question nobody can answer for you.
A year of cards made at one kitchen table: a grandmother's eightieth, a save-the-date, a winter set and thank-you notes for a market stall. One rule from each.
A mirror doubles the picture and doubles the ways it can fail. Five setups with glass in them, the sentence that makes each one hold, and the cheat that saves most of them.
A name on their screen, a reply that took too long, a story you have already finished in your head. One evening of jealousy, slowed down, and what a calm conversation can and cannot sort out.
Your show is judged at the size of a fingernail, in a grid of a hundred other squares. Five rejected drafts, what was wrong with each, and the rules they add up to.
A stylist packs the whole kit and puts one piece on. What to pack, how metal meets the palette, the signature piece that holds a character across a set, and why earrings come out mismatched.
The same sum at three in the morning, a debt nobody knows about, a talk you keep postponing. What a calm conversation can untangle, and what it must leave to real people.
Autumn specials, a poster for the new brunch, a picture of a dish you have not cooked yet. Where generated food images earn their place in a small kitchen, and the one place they must not go.
Six palette cards a colourist would recognise, the words that trigger each, and why skin tone is the colour to protect first. A painter's swatch board, not a prompt dump.
Eleven years of friendship, then nothing for two. A sample conversation, with notes in the margin on what the AI does, what it refuses to do, and why.
A script page, a shot list and a stack of frames before anyone books a camera. The pre-production routine, and why the board is a plan, not the film.
Leave the body unsaid and the model hands you the same one every time. Seven notes in the figure-drawing tradition: build, proportion, height, skin and the marks of an adult life.
Pick the right selfie, square the frame, change one thing at a time. And know before you start that it will look like a version of you, not a photograph of you.
The short answer is no, and that is on purpose. Two taps put it on your home screen, one more turns on notifications, and the lock screen never shows what she actually wrote.
A stylist works in order: hair, skin, eyes, lips, then a photo for continuity. The same order makes a better prompt. A prep sheet of the words that render and the ones that do nothing.
One photo of the room as it is, then a dozen versions of what it could be. How to take the photo, what to ask for, and why the picture is a mood board, not a floor plan.
Four small controls, and most people only ever use one of them. A short manual: what each button does, when it is the right move, and what none of them can do for you.
Nine days to answer a job offer in another country. Three evenings of talking it through, four piles on a notepad, and an AI that never once told her what to do.
A perfect face with a blank stare is a mannequin. Notes on writing the look: eyes, mouth, brows, a reason behind the smile, and the expressions image models still get wrong.
Dear, darling, tired, glad: in half our languages each of these words says whether you are a man or a woman. Here is how a companion decides, and why it stopped guessing.
A wallpaper is a picture with a clock, a dock and twenty icons on top of it. Screen by screen: the frame to pick, where to leave empty space, and what an AI generator still cannot do for you.
