@fortworthchris@mcuban@mhp_guy I still think of AI as a calculator.
If you never learned calculus, the limits of what you can do with a calculator are basic.
But the greater your mathematical knowledge, the greater the potential a calculator offers. It becomes an intelligence amplifier.
Google's "AI Overview" has been annoying me lately so I went to Chrome Web Store to get an extension to hide them. Look at this review! Cracked me up so hard 😂😂😂😂
There's an ongoing silent battle over music royalties in Nigeria.
ReLPI, a non-profit trade organisation comprising major Nigerian record labels, is accusing the Nigerian Copyright Commission of flouting the law by insisting on paying royalties due to its members to an unrecognised Collective Management Organisation.
This should be a matter of interest to all stakeholders and players in the Nigerian music industry.

Chale Accra will finish us oo 🤣🤣 Went to Accra mall to check the price of a macbook, saw the 13’ M4 Macbook Air for Gh¢17500 💀 it’s 9k on amazon wai 🤣 shipping with @GollyExpress would be around 2k or less saving almost Gh¢6k
@theprincetagoe@graderunai In their last minute learning moments, there are places they frequent, WhatsApp groups they join, "sharp students" they gather around to learn from and that will be our opportunity to spread the platform.
@theprincetagoe@graderunai There are two types of students: Those who study all semester and those who learn only when exam approaches.
The latter group is a bigger market as most students fall into this category.
With this insight, I'll market @graderunai to students in desperate need to pass.
I don’t care what you have to say or who you are the Nigerian creative industry will remain stuck until we understand economics. Dynamic pricing is not a luxury. It’s the foundation of sustainable creative economies.
Netflix is $16 - $20 in the US
Netflix is N5,000 in Nigeria
Spotify is $12 in the US
Spotify is N900 - N1,200 in Nigeria
Apple Music, YouTube Premium all the same pattern. Why? Because the biggest global tech companies understand purchasing power parity. They understand market elasticity.
They respect the consumer and build scale before greed. But here, we want to charge people N150k - N400k for a single concert ticket in a country where minimum wage is 70k. Then we turn around and wonder why:
No major venue infrastructure has been built in Lagos in 20 years everytime Eko hotel
Investors don’t take the industry seriously, We’re always “struggling”
We can’t scale festivals beyond hype
Promoters rarely break even, Artists depend on brand money instead of fan money and have become brand puppets
You can’t insult consumers and expect industry growth. Dynamic pricing is not “cheapening the brand.” It’s the global standard. It is what makes industries sustainable. It is why the platforms that power your music and media Netflix, Spotify, YouTube keep growing while we keep complaining. Until the Nigerian/African creative industry adopts this mindset, we will remain exactly where we’ve been:
No infrastructure.
No development.
No scalability.
Just vibes, clout, and stress.
If you like, argue with your calculator.
For someone who’s intelligent enough to build successful products, you didn’t have the slightest curiosity to inquire into the technical aspect DJing?
You reduced the skill and intelligence of moving rooms filled with diverse people into hitting next on a Spotify playlist.
Tech bros can be obnoxious snubs but this post is just shameful.
What a pity.
