I think OpenAI missed a trick by not releasing Sora months ago. Now Minimax Hailuo AI etc exist and most people don’t care about Sora.
Opportunity missed?

I first came here when bsky had less than 5k people. Couldn’t find my python, astronomy, web3, AI, or Star Trek tribes. I hear bsky now has 15 million people? 😃
Say hello 👋🏽 if you see this. I want to stick around this time 😇

Got access to Modular’s new programming language Mojo’s playground.
Forget the 35000x claimed speed increase over python the only thing my cartoon brain can think of rn is:
how cool that Mojo files can have an emoji as a file extension.
Hello.🔥 has way more energy than Hello.py imo.

A bit of an intro since I haven’t been on social media much the past 3 years. I’m a ~semi-recently laid off distributed engineer that is now working on 3D printing space things programmatically!
Are there any other 3D printing friends on here? 🖨️🙏

yes. there’s other ways to deal with even the worst actors. ignore, shun, humorously dismiss, refute. but “bullying” escalates cycles of confrontation that bring out the worst in people. i think bad actors sometimes thrive off the negativity too.
