When Lee Kuan Yew moved Singaporeans from huts to high rises, people were urinating in the elevators. Instead of saying it was a problem of indiscipline, he installed hidden cameras, urine detectors, fines and community service penalties. Make of that what you will
Let me trace the timeline here because nobody's connecting it.
Step 1: Scrape the entire internet. Every book, every article, every conversation, every piece of art, every forum post. Do it without asking. Do it without paying.
Step 2: Train a model on all of it. Call it "artificial intelligence."
Step 3: Go to BlackRock's Infrastructure Summit and announce: "We see a future where intelligence is a utility, like electricity or water, and people buy it from us on a meter."
Step 3 is where you sell people's own knowledge back to them. On a meter.
They took the collective output of human thought, compressed it into a model, and now they want to charge you by the token to access a version of what you and everyone you know already created.
One Reddit user put it perfectly: "They stole all this data from us, the people, our life's work, creativity, art, by devouring the internet and blowing through all copyright laws. Now they want to sell it back to us in the form of a utility."
Imagine if someone photocopied every book in the public library, burned the library down, and then opened a subscription service for the copies.
That's the metered intelligence business model.
And they're pitching it to infrastructure investors as though they invented water.
@Amegaxi My magnet had a key chain loop so I keep it on me at all times. So long as he can't reach the magnet, you should be okay. Hope it works but if your boy is Hercules dierr 😂

I'm trying to remember the exact brand I got. Worked on drawers as well. Will share when I find my package. I think I have like 6 left in there
It is getting harder to find literature in Ghanaian languages, and that's scary
Apart from the Bible, most people can't name one book written in their language
Our local languages have evolved, and we don't have books recording modern usage
We need to remedy this urgently
It’s unfortunate that you’ve chosen to center yourself instead of acknowledging my lived experience and the very real trauma I have faced. Your discomfort over being stopped from taking a video of ME pales in comparison to what I was carrying in that moment. If you still do not understand that, then I doubt you ever will.
What is also troubling is how calculated this feels, posting this video and once again inviting attacks and vitriol toward me. Do you see what you’re doing? Rather than responding with empathy, you’ve chosen to make yourself the focus of a moment that was never about you. You have no idea what I was going through in that moment. My reaction did not come from nowhere. It came from years of experiences that have made me cautious and protective of myself. The least you could have done was meet that with some understanding.
You are clearly entitled to your feelings, but that same grace should extend to me. If you can hold space for your discomfort, then you should be able to understand my right to my reaction.
Cheers. 🙏🏾

Ghanaians and their damn misogyny and ageism. Turn 25 and they start watching your uterus and calling you names. Gain power and they will slut shame you. Allow women to breathe. She hasn't declared herself a paragon of virtue
Modesty demanded from the same culture that practices dipo. Y'all just hate women and will shove your misogyny down our throats. Let the woman be. Her brain isn't in her cleavage.
She's 50, Acting CEO of the Petroleum Commission, someone who should uphold the highest moral standards and serve as a mentor and role model for young Ghanaian girls. Yet she appeared before Parliament with noticeable cleavage on full display. The reaction? Grown men and others shamelessly hyping it up, showering her with “queen” and “slay mama” praise as if it were some kind of victory.
This isn't elitism; it's a direct slap in the face of our cultural values, modesty, and the dignity we expect from public figures in such solemn settings. Are we still making even the tiniest deposits of real values into the national consciousness bank, or has the account long been declared bankrupt and abandoned?
No wonder someone said, “Uncontrolled lust will sink NDC.” He was right!
