Men and women aren’t the same.
In Nigeria, guys give funny nicknames to fat friends. Something Biggy, Large, Fatty, Ele (elephant), Over (oversize) and the name just sticks.
I had a friend we called Ele; eventually his family started calling him Ele too.
Ladies, try this.
THIS DEVELOPER JUST KILLED THE VOICE CLONING INDUSTRY WITH ONE GITHUB REPO.
Claude can now speak in your own voice across 23 languages through a single MCP call.
Free. Local. Offline.
What used to cost $22 to $330/month with ElevenLabs is now open source under the MIT license.
Jamie Pine just dropped voicebox on GitHub, and it already has over 41k stars.
It clones any voice from just 10 seconds of audio, lets you choose from seven different TTS engines, and runs entirely on your own machine, so your voice and recordings never leave your computer.
Connect it to Claude Code, Cursor, Cline, or any MCP compatible agent with a single voicebox.speak call, and your AI can start replying in your cloned voice.
It also adds global voice dictation that works in any app with one hotkey and can generate speech in 23 languages, including Arabic, Japanese, and Polish.
One open source app now replaces both ElevenLabs and Wispr Flow.
If you’ve been waiting to give your AI agent a voice, this is it.

“You have the library in the National Assembly being renamed after the president.”
“You have immigration renaming one of the infrastructure after the president.”
“You have roads in Abuja being renamed by the minister of the FCT after the president.”
“If you are a president that believe that you have really served the Nigerian public, you shall allow history to judge you.”

It's becoming clearer and clearer that China's AI open source strategy may end up being seen as one of the greatest strategic masterstrokes of all time.
They started with a clear resource and technological disadvantage - mainly due to the US semiconductor export controls - and have managed to change the rules of engagement in such a way that the US's own tech leaders and officials are now publicly siding with China's approach against their own companies. Which is pretty extraordinary.
When you can't fight symmetrically, make the adversary's way of fighting obsolete and self-defeating.
And the greatest irony in all this is - had the US not done the export controls - there's a decent chance that not only China wouldn't have gone for the open-source approach but the US would have made an enormous amount of money selling compute to them.
Now they're getting neither the money nor the containment.

Banning Chinese models is the most un-American thing we could do.
Stop complaining and start competing.
People won't use Chinese models if American companies build something better.
Jensen Huang explained how blocking China from Nvidia does not anymore means blocking China from AI.
If you don’t give your competitor the best chips, they will lag behind. This is how export control stories go.
China is not waiting at the door of American computer systems anymore.
Huawei’s rise is an example of a ban becoming an economic boost. It creates a market and teaches domestic suppliers how to get stronger, grow and export.
Now the real battle is over who controls the chips, the talent, the energy, the infrastructure, the models, the apps and the whole intelligence stack.
Thinking of chip policy as a valve that can be opened and closed is wrong.
Each barrier slows down one flow while speeding up another. In the long run, the threat may be to a world in which American technology is absent from the systems that the US wishes to change.

From what I've seen so far, one of the major issue they have with most locals is that, network school is in Malaysia but somehow registered in Singapore and branding as a Singaporean company. Refer to Malaysia as "an island near Singapore".

A snake sighting almost anywhere can trigger panic, often fuelled by fear, myths and spiritual beliefs. But these reptiles are so misunderstood.
Despite being called "a witch", herpetologist Taiwo Okikiola continues to use social media to raise awareness about snake conservation.
