Not using Threads, but does anyone know if it requires a distinct new or account, or if you can login via your Instagram account? I'd imagine if the latter is the case, then this explain the high usage, if the barrier to entry is low (provided you already use Instagram). Also, I would be curious to see how many of the users remain active on the platform in the coming months.

>Typescript lets me write the complex logic

What is it about Go that prevents you from writing this complex logic?

I consider the advent of this technology as whole, with the current state of Hollywood, to be concerning. It will ultimately lead to a world where actors will have their autonomy stripped away from them, even more so than they do now. Consider the status quo, whereby an actor's autonomy is somewhat determined by their start power. If you're trying to break into the industry then you have to put up and shut up with what you're given.

With the advent of motion-capture like this, actors will be reduced to a marionette of flesh to be puppeted around as the producers see fit. Perhaps Hollywood will be going towards a future where actors no longer act in movies, instead their likeness is simply licensed to a studio for a certain number of movies. Anyway, I'm a cynic when it comes to this, the industry itself is already plenty abusive and exploitive, and this could further that.

It's something the Academy has always engaged in, is with cutting of the microphone of the VFX artists. Other people are not treated like this.

>I'm not saying it is this way for everyone, but part of life is deciding if you want to work hard, have impact on things that matter, work on cool stuff, earn a lot of money, etc.

VFX people in Hollywoord are some of the most underpaid workers in the industry. Sure, it's cool that you can be a part of a team that helps make a movie. No doubt it must be pretty cool to see your work on the big screen, or even the small screen, and know that you played a part in bringing it there. But I think something the workers would also value is having some autonomy over their work, and being paid for it.

I'm not easily convinced by the argument of, "you get to work on cool stuff", working on cool stuff doesn't make up for risking povery, debt, or unemployment when you're underpaid. Furthermore, there's a difference between hard work, and exhausting working. And being put under crunch is exhausting work, not hard work.
