> "I was born into a poor family but am relatively intelligent and good at learning things, therefore I can find success"
Nicely put, unconsciously this was my mindset in my 20s. In my 30s, I started questioning myself how come so many stupid people achieve great success. There must be more to success than just being relatively intelligent (just look into politicians - forgive generalization).
Once a nagging thought, now I find some comfort in it.
My GF was a photographer at a Secret Cinema event with Laura Marling that took place in London. She had to take some promo pictures, so they met in one of the event rooms [1] for the photoshoot. After just a few pictures they were done and instead of wrapping up, Laura started to perform one of her songs.
Not the same scale as Bob Dylan concert, but still a concert for one. A kind gesture, unconditional, free, ephemeral, but leaving a life lasting memory.
The Lagos video (https://openai.com/sora?video=lagos) is very much how my dreams unfold. One moment, I'm with my friends in a bustling marketplace, then suddenly we are no longer at the marketplace, but rather overlooking a sunset and a highway. I wonder if there are some conceptual similarities how dreams and AI video models work.
Sedition Art | CTO | Full-time | Remote or Onsite | London
Hi HN! After 10 years at Sedition I'm moving on to some other ventures and looking for a replacement for my role. It's a great job at a small company that has been selling digital limited editions by World renowned artists since 2010. With advent of NFTs the digital ownership is becoming a new norm and Sedition can be at the very centre of this. It's all in your hands.
As a CTO you will work closely with CEO and lead the technical evolution of the product. We are 6 technical people so the role does not involve much management work but rather planning and hands on coding.
We expect the CTO to be a technical generalist with previous experience in a similar role.
We started Sedition with a mission to create a platform for publishing and collecting digital artworks. This was in 2011 well before the advent of NFTs. Since then we have published more than 4000 artworks from 1000 artists. Including Blue Chip represented artists like Tracey Emin, Jenny Holzer, Mat Collishaw.
We're now working on our integration with NFTs on Ethereum blockchain. It's going to be an interesting transition with a lot of challenging tasks in the pipeline. Our stack is Ruby / React / React Native / TypeScript / Solidity.
Compensation: $90K - $120K + bonuses. Timezone: We're in EU but we're flexible. More info: https://www.seditionart.com/jobs (other positions available). Apply via email: [email protected] - please mention HN.
