OpenAI is considering buying Pinterest. Do you see this acquisition as promising?

Today, I read in the news that OpenAI is considering "expanding its data footprint" and possibly buying Pinterest, as there is a lot of data on it just for the sake of users finding inspiration (which can be key for purchase decision making and understanding personas Pinterest has 600M+ users).

I also take into account how Pinterest started to resent the proliferation of AI content there users do not like it so much (as far as I know, OpenAI also wants to have its own social network, and Sora curation is a bit reminiscent of that)

The Butterfly social media hits 40 M users

Do you remember that social media (decentralised) platform that experienced such a boom one year ago?
Yeah, Bluesky as for today, hit 40 M users (I understood that "accounts") and is trying to improve experience, such as:

adding downvoting system  dislikes,
 moderation tools (e.g. detecting toxic comments),

 enhancing UX/UI.

Which of your projects are you the proudest?

I don't usually dwell on what I've done, but sometimes I should probably be happy about everything I do (even if it's not the most successful).

Because I forget to enjoy the completion of something, and that can lead to burnout.
