Thomas Ricouard is joining OpenAI. Thomas worked on the Medium iOS app, Ice Cubes for Mastodon (written in SwiftUI), and Codex Monitor. From a thread on Twitter / X:

I also can’t wait to bring my iOS and macOS expertise to help shape the Codex experience around those platforms.

He appears to have stopped posting to the fediverse. It’s too bad the AI community is so entrenched on Twitter / X.

@mindofaaronw Me too. The more developers with native app experience, the better.

@oliverandrich @IceCubesApp es wäre schade, wenn sie auf der Strecke bleibt. Sie hat eigentlich alles* was ich brauche auf eine Art, die ich sehr angenehm zu benutzen finde.

*alles bis auf den Sync der Feedposition über Gerätegrenzen hinweg.

@manton Pretty obvious why the AI community is entrenched on Twitter -- the kind of moral bankruptcy that allows you to work on AI also allows you to keep using the nazi/pedo social network without a second thought.

@manton

the AI community is on twitter because the fediverse is hostile to AI

just for clarification: i'm glad the fediverse is hostile to AI

@manton I think it's great. Fuck AI. Stay away.
