I'm building a Twitter alternative.
Secured first $ commitments today.
Waitlist will be up in the next 36 hours.

Hoping I don't get thrown off Twitter before then.
- Excited to share that I've joined @OpenAI! The talent density here is incredible. Learning a lot already. Will share more about what I'm working on in due time.
- I finally finished @andrewchen's Cold Start Problem book that he graciously mailed to me a few weeks ago. What an amazing book - I nearly ran out of Hi-Liter and stickies. My top takeaways:

- .@OpenAI SORA vs @pika_labs vs @runwayml vs @StabilityAI Video. I gave the other models SORA's starting frame. I tried my best prompting and camera motion techniques to get the other models to output something similar to SORA. SORA's just much better at longer scenes.
- I'm building a Twitter alternative. We all deserve a better public square. Waitlist is here: t2.social
- Big T2 news today! We raised $1.1M in funding from a group of amazing investors. This will allow us to keep building out the product and traction.
