Hey nerds 😎
I'm fundraising for my incredibly cool femme/queer electronics camp that's holding on by bloodied teeth this year. Find it in my bio and thread below.
BUT ALSO we take supplies. Specific tools, electronics, supplies. List in replies.
OpenAI is planning to discontinue the app for its Sora video platform, a product it released to great fanfare last year that has since fallen from public view, according to the company. The move is one of a number of steps OpenAI is taking to refocus on business and coding functions ahead of a potential initial public offering as soon as the fourth quarter of this year. CEO Sam Altman announced the changes to staff on Tuesday, writing that the company would wind down products that use its video models. In addition to the consumer app, OpenAI is also discontinuing a version of Sora for developers and won’t support video functionality inside ChatGPT, either.
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has relinquished direct oversight of the company’s safety and security teams so he can focus on raising capital, supply chains and “building datacenters at unprecedented scale,” he told staff on Tuesday. At the same time, he said the company had completed the initial development of its next major AI model, codenamed Spud, and would wind down the Sora AI video mobile app, which employees had complained was a drag on the company’s computing resources during a time of heightened competition with foes such as Anthropic and Google.
Both the Wall Street Journal and The Information confirming that OpenAI is killing Sora - both the app and *access to its video-generating model for developers*. This is a huge move that suggests things are a bit desperate

Don't worry, America. We foresaw every possible attack scenario from Iran except the most obvious one.

Many many many thanks to @alpenglow.bsky.social @architeuthisflux.bsky.social and @clomads.bsky.social for the current help with figuring out specifics, and @bhencke.bsky.social last year for supporting my winter of beginners research into a lot of this.

More progress on designing a soldering kit badge this year for my femme/queer electronics camp.
Compliments please, I'm very very tired and pushing super hard and could use them.
Blend in, back off. Give it all. Raise up others invisibly.
So many do. It's right there. Pointed at you. A skill everywhere around you. Be clever. Be soft. Be powerful. Learn it.
Confusingly, infuriatingly, I can't seem to get this idea to 95% of "actually nice" guys. No matter how I say it.
Sometimes what I'm asking of misogyny and men's role in it is so simple
Put other people first. When you really want credit and attention. When credit involves you. Give it up. Abdicate
Leave the spotlight. Truly, not performatively, point it elsewhere. Let go of "fair". And your own insecurities

Designing a new learn-to-solder PCB art badge for my electronics camp thereuglow.club.
The last four years we've used a glow bug design created by @drc3p0.bsky.social.
The new badge will have three LEDs. Pink, white, blue.
Trans guillotines ya'll.
Queers, design detail ideas please. ✨Audacity✨.

It's a mystery to me how sharing raw thoughts online went from a AuDHD need, basically medical, to being hugely off-putting in the last two years.
Of course I could pick apart why. But it's just so frustrating and painfully impactful. I don't have that community anymore. Structurally devastating.

This thread has the heavy hitting Anti-Ice projects. I've also gathered queers weekly for six years, I tirelessly run an all-femme/queer electronics camp, and much more. I am AuDHD and just can't bring myself to do otherwise. I scrape by solo, trying to make it make sense.
