Youโve seen #ThePolygamist and saw how Jonasi went outโฆ just know, that is not just TV drama, it is real life consequences.
Multiple partners without protection increase your risk of STIs and HIV. Ignoring treatment does not make it go away, it makes it worse.
Knowing your status is power. Using protection is responsibility. Taking your treatment is survival.
If you stopped treatment, come back, reinitiate and stay on it to achieve an undetectable viral load. This means living a healthier life with zero risk of passing HIV on to others.
Remember, prevention options such as PrEP and Lenacapavir can help protect against HIV, but condoms are still essential to protect against STIs like gonorrhoea, syphilis, herpes, chlamydia and more, as well as unwanted pregnancies.

Marc Cucurella has completed a permanent transfer to Spanish La Liga side Real Madrid.
Everyone at Chelsea FC would like to thank Marc for his efforts during his time at the club and for the role he played in our recent achievements.
Going to leave you with this tonight:
The best thing you can do for yourself is actively increase your surface area for luck to hit you. Go outside, travel more, go to new cates, museums, events, take a new route home, go for hikes, see cities, countrysides, take your notebook, speak to people, ask questions, start businesses - go on more side quests. You can literally just do things, and the more you do, the more serendipity and synchronicity will find you.
Bought these alcohol sachets for R10 each at the bottle store. These have a 43% alcohol content. The target market is poor people & youth who cant afford expensive liquor. These sachets are banned in 10 African countries. Not in SA though because we have regulation in name only.
Anthropic is making a ton of money from this ban, right?
So many people signed up just to use Fable over the past week, and now Anthropic gets the subscription income without having to spend on the inference at all.
What timeline are we on man.
Thereโs a $60 million UFC cage on the White House lawn for the presidentโs 80th birthday. 125,000 guests. 494 port-a-potties. He compared it to the Eiffel Tower and said maybe theyโll never take it down.
The worldโs first trillionaire was minted yesterday. SpaceX IPO. One person now holds more wealth than the GDP of most countries.
The government is negotiating to own a piece of OpenAI. The CEO walked into the White House and pitched it himself. Theyโre calling it a Public Wealth Fund.
That same government killed OpenAIโs biggest competitorโs models on a Friday night. The reason? A verbal jailbreak claim from an unnamed company. The same jailbreak works on OpenAIโs models. Nobody touched them.
The competitor got blacklisted by the Pentagon four months ago. Their crime? Refusing to let the military use their AI for mass surveillance of American citizens. A judge called it retaliation. The Pentagon did it anyway.
Both AI companies filed to go public in the same two-week window. Both targeting trillion-dollar valuations. One has a government equity deal in progress. The other canโt keep its products online.
The engineers who built the banned models canโt use them anymore. Because of their passports.
And an AI company that spent thousands of hours cooperating with government safety testing got punished harder than any company that didnโt bother.
UFC on the White House lawn. A trillionaire. Government-owned AI. Export controls based on phone calls. Cage fights and trillion-dollar IPOs in the same news cycle.
Watch the film titled Idiocracy. Thatโs the timeline weโre on.

The takeaway from Fable 5 being BANNED by the government: GET GOOD AT LOCAL MODELS SO YOU HAVE 100% CONTROL.
My entire weekend was going to be building my craziest ideas with Fable 5. That's now cancelled.
So instead of building with Fable this weekend, I've decided I'll go deep on local models:
1. Start with the runtime. Download Ollama or LM Studio first. This is the thing that actually runs models on your machine.
2. Match the model to your hardware. A model's size is measured in billions of parameters (7B, 32B, 70B). Bigger is smarter but needs more memory. Rule of thumb: a 7B model runs on almost any laptop, a 32B needs a good Mac with 32GB+ RAM, a 70B needs serious hardware like a DGX Spark or a maxed-out Mac Studio.
3. Know which model for which job. Qwen 3 is the best all-around choice for most tasks. DeepSeek for reasoning and coding. Gemma 4 when you need something tiny that runs on a phone. Llama when you want the biggest community and the most fine-tunes.
4. Quantization. You can shrink a model to run on weaker hardware with barely any quality loss. Look for versions labeled Q4 or Q5. This is how a model that "needs" a server runs on your laptop. Learning this one concept changes everything.
5. Connect it to your agent. Point Hermes or your agent stack at a local model.
6. Context window is your real constraint locally. Cloud models give you huge context for free. Local models make you pay for it in memory. A bigger context window eats RAM fast. Keep your sessions tight and your prompts lean or your machine chokes.
7. Learn to give local models tools. A smaller local model with web search, file access, and code execution beats a giant model with none. The capability gap closes fast when you wire up the right tools. The model is the engine but the tools are the wheels.
8. Fine-tuning is more accessible than you think. You don't need this on day one, but know it exists. You can take an open model and train it on your own data so it gets good at your specific domain.
I'll probably do a breakdown at some point on this @startupideaspod if people are into it.
The lesson from this ban is basically don't build your entire workflow on something that can disappear with a single letter. Own part of your stack. Local models are insurance.
It reminds me when people realized they don't own social media accounts. And then you saw people build email lists etc.
I remember running a startup and my biggest traffic source was organic FB. All of a sudden, algo changed, and I lost 99% of my traffic.
Same sorta moment (but bigger) for AI.
This is a wake up call.
Fable 5 has been live for 72 hours. The US government just pulled it offline. This is not marketing.
Mythos-class models can do more than write code. Both Fable 5 and Mythos 5 can scan networks for weaknesses, find exploitable software bugs, and launch cyberattacks on their own, without a human guiding each step. Anthropic built a set of separate AI systems to screen those requests out. When a risky query arrives, Fable 5 quietly routes the user to the older, weaker Claude Opus 4.8 instead of answering.
On June 10, one day after launch, a researcher going by "Pliny the Liberator" claimed a working jailbreak using Unicode tricks, swapped Russian-alphabet characters, and burying harmful requests deep inside long conversations to fool the screening systems. The Commerce Department saw this and sent a letter to CEO Dario Amodei by 5:21 PM on June 12. Both models went dark for every customer that evening. Anthropic has no reliable way to filter out foreign nationals in real time, so a blanket shutdown was the only compliant option.
Anthropic disputes the severity. The jailbreak, they say, unlocks only one specific attack pathway, not the full capability set. Anthropic also says the same technique works on OpenAI's GPT-5.5, which faces no export restrictions.
The financial stakes are concrete. Anthropic filed for a public listing twelve days ago targeting a $965 billion valuation. Run-rate revenue was $30 billion annualized in April 2026, up from $9 billion at the start of the year. It serves over 300,000 business customers worldwide. Suspending the two most capable models, the ones already driving enterprise adoption, is not a brand moment. It is a direct cost landing on an active IPO clock.
This is also not the first time the US government has moved against Anthropic. In February 2026, the Pentagon labeled Anthropic a supply chain risk to national security after the company refused to let Claude be used for autonomous lethal weapons. Anthropic sued and that litigation is still running.
No company kills its two flagship products eleven days before a near-trillion-dollar public offering for marketing purposes. The government moved first. Anthropic complied. The bill is being paid right now.
This is your wakeup call.
Anthropic just took down Fable 5. It's over.
Here's the thing tho: no company or government will EVER be able to take away your local models.
There are Opus level models you can run right now on your home GPUs, and nobody can ever stop you from using them
This is only the beginning of events like this. Day 1. More government overreach will happen. This will only keep happening more and more as models get closer to AGI
Become sovereign. Buy your own compute. Before even that becomes illegal
The US government, citing national security authorities, has issued an export control directive to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether inside or outside the United States, including foreign national Anthropic employees.
The net effect of this order is that we must abruptly disable Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for all our customers to ensure compliance.
Access to all other Claude models is not affected.
We apologize for this disruption to our customers. We believe this is a misunderstanding and are working to restore access as soon as possible.

Just finished watching the match between Mexico and South Africa
I'm still sitting on the couch as I'm typing this let's dive in as I still post all I've learnt so far..
Chapter 3: Types of Networks
One of the things I learned early in my cybersecurity journey at Bloomy Technology was that not all networks are the same.
Before then, I thought a network was just "internet" and nothing more.
As I progressed through the networking module, I learned that networks are often grouped based on their size and coverage area.
The three that stood out to me were:
๐น LAN (Local Area Network)
A LAN connects devices within a small area such as a home, school, office, or cyber cafรฉ.
At the time, I realized that whenever my phone and laptop were connected to the same Wi-Fi, they were already part of a LAN.
๐น MAN (Metropolitan Area Network)
A MAN covers a larger area, usually a city.
An example would be an organization connecting multiple branches within the same city.
๐น WAN (Wide Area Network)
A WAN covers a much larger geographical area, connecting networks across states, countries, or continents.
The Internet itself is the most common example of a WAN.
What fascinated me back then was realizing that the Internet isn't one giant network.
It's actually a collection of smaller networks connected together.
Looking back now, this may seem basic, but understanding these concepts helped me appreciate why networking is often considered the foundation of cybersecurity.
You can't effectively secure a network if you don't understand how it works.
This was one of the lessons that stuck with me from my first networking classes.
