Maybe RIP another client?

@paul I supported him for awhile as there was a Vision Pro version but the bugs were not being addressed, so I stopped.

@paul please please do not join OpenAI

[mergesort@macaw.social]

@yiningkarlli @paul I see OpenAI people post all the time, in fact they spend an inordinate amount of time online. Also Member of Technical Staff is the actual title.

@paul It’s too bad if Ice Cubes loses updates. It sucks to see the Mastodon client variety lessen over time.

@paul I got really bad vibes about this guy when his app came out and he didn’t take too kindly to feedback and bug reports. Probably a good fit for OpenAI.

@sknob @paul Just the other day he was bragging that there is no point in practicing your coding skills because “AI is too good now, you can’t compete with it.” Ouf.

[sknob@mamot.fr]

@_elena @paul why am I not surprised?

[paul@tapbots.social]

@_elena @sknob on another network? Don't think I've seen him post here lately.

[_elena@mastodon.social]

@paul on Bluesky. I had been testing Ice Cubes’ local timeline and I was wondering what he was up to… he has been posting there a lot about AI.

(Ivory is still my favorite app that I use daily - multiple times a day that is - so taking this opportunity to thank you and the Tapbots team for your amazing work on it)

@_elena @paul same. Wouldn’t have used Twitter as long as I did if it weren’t for Tweetbot. Come to think of it, I guess that’s a double-edged compliment

[_elena@mastodon.social]

@sknob @paul aw Tweetbot! RIP. I was recently cleaning up my old Mac and I had to reluctantly delete it from there (the MacOS version). Longtime fan of Tapbots 🥲

@paul The Toot! guy went to Apple but then became more active with his app for a bit at least

[grork@mastodon.social]

@stroughtonsmith @paul i mean, openai is mostly a bunch of meta execs, so checks out…

[sanguish@iosdev.space]

@paul he’s been all in on AI for a while

[tad@fedi.sndr.uk]

@paul I’m torn between “loss of diversity is bad” and “Ice Cubes was a steaming pile of manure anyway”.
Ricouard himself however was an unpleasant character so I can see him as a good fit for the company. Good luck and goodbye.
