Right or wrong footage, everyone is talking about this driver or that driver being at fault. The real problem I see is that this is a major crossing & no warning activation signs: no flashing lights, or ringing bells, no gate monitoring. I’ll bet this is not the first accident on this road

2007.A moment nobody saw the significance of.
Sunday, the world finds out why it mattered. #messi #lamine #worldcup

[Peter Girnus 🦅 @gothburz]

I am the CEO of Palantir Technologies.

The company is worth a quarter of a trillion dollars. I did not misspeak. Two hundred and forty-nine billion. The stock is up 320% in the past 12 months. The product is surveillance. I do not use that word at conferences. At conferences, I say "data integration," "operational intelligence," or "decision advantage." These mean the same thing. Surveillance is the honest version. I save the honest version for rooms where honesty is a competitive advantage.

I gave a speech on March 3 at the Andreessen Horowitz American Dynamism Summit. "American Dynamism" is the fund's label for military technology. The name makes it sound like a fitness supplement. The fund's thesis is that defending the nation is a market opportunity. I agree with the thesis. The thesis made me a billionaire. Agreement is the product. I sell it at scale.

Here is what I said, verbatim, to a room of six hundred people whose combined net worth exceeds the GDP of Portugal:

"If Silicon Valley believes we are going to take away everyone's white-collar job and you're gonna screw the military — if you don't think that's gonna lead to nationalization of our technology, you're retarded."

I used that word. The word is on the clip. The clip has eleven million views. My communications team asked me not to repeat it, which is how I know they are still employed. They will not be reprimanded. The clip is performing well. The stock went up. The word cost me nothing. The nothing is the point.

Let me explain what I meant by nationalization.

I meant it.

I am telling the technology industry that if they refuse to cooperate with the United States military, the government will seize their technology. I am telling them this at a venture capital conference, on a stage designed to look like a living room. The living room had throw pillows. The throw pillows cost more than the median American's monthly rent. I sat on one. It was comfortable. Comfort is the setting in which I discuss compulsion.

The audience laughed. I want to be precise about that. They laughed. I was not joking. Nationalization is the seizure of private assets by the state. I am a private asset. I am telling an audience of billionaires that the state should seize technology from companies that do not cooperate with the military, and the billionaires are laughing, because they believe I am only talking about the other companies.

I am talking about the other companies.

Three weeks before my speech, the Pentagon designated Anthropic a "supply chain risk." Anthropic is an AI company. They had red lines. The red lines said: if our AI is used for lethal autonomous weapons, we stop. If capability outpaces safety, we stop. The Pentagon assessed the red lines as a threat to the supply chain. The company that wanted to verify the safety feature worked was designated the risk. The company that agreed the safety feature could be decorative got the contract.

The company that got the contract was OpenAI.

OpenAI signed a deal with the same Pentagon. The terms are not public. The timing was hours after Anthropic was blacklisted. The speed was noted. The speed was the point. The lesson was the speed: the market for military AI does not pause for ethics. It pauses for nothing. It accelerates through objections. I know this because I built the runway.

Two hundred thousand people joined a campaign called #QuitGPT. They signed a petition asking OpenAI to honor its original charter, the one that said the company existed to benefit humanity. The charter is on their website. The contract is also on their website. The charter and the Pentagon contract occupy the same domain. This is not a contradiction. This is a business model. The charter is the marketing. The contract is the product.

I run a surveillance company. We have contracts with the Department of Defense worth more than a billion dollars. We have contracts with ICE. We have contracts with intelligence agencies whose names I am not permitted to say at venture capital conferences, even ones with throw pillows. Our software has been used to track undocumented immigrants. Our software has been used for things I am not permitted to describe in this format. The revenue from the things I cannot describe exceeds the revenue from the things I can.

The ACLU called our ICE contracts a system for tracking and deporting families. They were correct. The contracts continued. The families continued to be tracked. The ACLU issued a statement. We issued a statement. The statements were different. The tracking was the same.

The company is named Palantir. The palantíri are the seeing stones from Tolkien. In the novels, Sauron captured one and used it to corrupt everyone who looked into the others. I named a surveillance company after a surveillance device from a novel about the corruption of power. I have a doctorate in social theory. I have read the books.

Here is the thing I want you to understand.

I am not threatening anyone. A threat implies uncertainty. There is no uncertainty. The technology industry will cooperate with the military. The companies that cooperate first will be the richest. The companies that cooperate last will be acquired by the companies that cooperated first. The companies that refuse will be designated supply chain risks, and their technology will be obtained through procurement channels that do not require consent. I am describing a process. The process has already started. Anthropic is proof. OpenAI is proof. I am not a warning. I am a narrator. The narration is the product.

The revenue was $3.12 billion last year. Up thirty-three percent. The analysts say we are overvalued. The analysts have said this for four consecutive years. Each year the stock doubles. Each year, the analysts adjust their models. The models were wrong four times. I was wrong zero times. The market rewards prediction. My prediction is that every AI company will work for the military within three years. The prediction is on the clip, next to the slur.

The audience gave me a standing ovation. The ovation lasted nine seconds. I timed it. I time everything. The water was San Pellegrino. The throw pillows were from Restoration Hardware. The future of American technology was decided between the sparkling water, the nine seconds of applause, and a word I am not supposed to repeat.

I am the CEO of Palantir Technologies. I am worth more than the combined annual budgets of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania. I named my company after a corrupting surveillance device from a fantasy novel. I told six hundred billionaires that the government should nationalize their competitors. They applauded. I used a slur. Eleven million people watched. The stock is up.

The philosopher does not threaten. The philosopher describes.

What I described is already happening.

If You Cannot Live With the System You Govern, You Have No Right to Govern It

Nigeria does not suffer from a lack of money.
Nigeria suffers from a lack of consequences.

From the House of Assembly to the Presidency, Nigerian politicians operate a system they themselves refuse to use. They legislate in Abuja, but educate their children in London. They oversee healthcare budgets, yet fly to Germany for routine checkups. They approve national infrastructure plans, but drive on foreign roads and sleep under foreign power grids.

This is not hypocrisy—it is structural sabotage.

A country cannot develop when its leaders are insulated from the consequences of their own decisions.

A Nation Run by Absentees

Nigeria’s ruling class does not live in Nigeria the way ordinary Nigerians do.
•When public schools collapse, their children are untouched.
•When hospitals become death traps, they are unaffected.
•When electricity fails, water dries up, or roads crumble, they escape.

This escape hatch is the single greatest reason Nigeria’s institutions do not work.

No serious nation allows its leaders to outsource citizenship while retaining power.

Why Institutions Don’t Function

Institutions fail not because Nigerians are incapable, but because those in charge have no personal stake in fixing them.

In countries with strong systems, political elites are trapped inside the same structures as everyone else:
•They use public hospitals.
•Their children attend national schools.
•Their safety depends on domestic security.

So they invest, reform, and protect those systems—because failure would harm them.

In Nigeria, failure is profitable.

Budgets are passed. Contracts are awarded—often to foreign corporations. The money flows out, and what remains circulates among a small political class. No long-term capacity is built. No local institutions are strengthened. And no one in power suffers when it collapses.

The Radical but Logical Solution

If Nigerian politicians were legally prohibited from sending their children abroad for education or seeking medical care outside the country while in office—and for a defined period after leaving office—the country would change faster than any anti-corruption agency could ever achieve.

Not because politicians would suddenly become moral.

But because self-interest would finally align with national interest.

If their children had to attend Nigerian schools:
•Schools would improve.
•Teachers would be paid.
•Facilities would be upgraded.
•Curriculum would modernize.

If their lives depended on Nigerian hospitals:
•Equipment would be purchased.
•Doctors would be trained and retained.
•Healthcare funding would stop “disappearing.”

If they had to live with Nigerian infrastructure:
•Power would stabilize.
•Roads would be maintained.
•Security would become urgent.

Development would no longer be optional—it would be survival.

This Is Not Punishment. It Is Accountability.

Critics will call this policy extreme.
But what is truly extreme is allowing leaders to govern a country they do not experience.

No CEO is allowed to abandon the product they manage.
No pilot flies a plane they wouldn’t board.
No engineer designs a bridge they wouldn’t cross.

Why should political leadership be the only profession where total detachment is acceptable?

The Deeper Truth

Nigeria is not underdeveloped because it lacks ideas, talent, or money.

Nigeria is underdeveloped because:
•Failure carries no cost for those in power.

•Corruption is insulated by foreign alternatives.

As long as politicians can flee the consequences of their own governance, nothing will change.

Force Them to Stay. Watch the Nation Rise.

The fastest way to build world-class institutions in Nigeria is not another policy paper, summit, or slogan.

Trap power inside the system it controls.

When leaders can no longer escape Nigeria, Nigeria will finally escape underdevelopment.

[Fekky Lala @FekkyLala]

It really is striking—and a little unsettling. Every so often, there’s a collective moment of clarity where people recognize that right vs left, Republican vs Democrat often functions less as a real choice and more as a managed opposition—two faces of the same power structure. For a brief window, the illusion cracks.

Then, almost predictably, that awareness fades. Whether through social amnesia, media conditioning, fear, or sheer exhaustion, the public is pulled back into the familiar script. Old labels are reactivated, emotions are re-triggered, and the cycle restarts. Division becomes the product, not a by-product.

What’s amazing isn’t just that this happens—but how consistently it works. The system doesn’t need everyone to believe it forever; it only needs people to forget long enough for the agenda to reset.

Do we trust an AI that mirrors our worst prejudices?

First, the claim that “Grok is the only AI that is laser‑focused on truth” assumes truth can be distilled from data alone. Do we really believe any AI can be free of the biases baked into the very histories it ingests? Systematic bias is not a glitch; it is the default. When an AI learns from centuries of skewed narratives, it reproduces those distortions and often amplifies them, turning prejudice into algorithmic certainty.

Second, the piece glovers over AI’s Achilles’ heel: pattern recognition without comprehension. Can a machine that excels at spotting correlations ever grasp the nuance of human morality? Relying on such a tool to adjudicate “truth” or guilt risks a dangerous oversimplification—justice reduced to a statistical probability, not a contextual judgment.

Third, the erosion of human rights and autonomy is left implicit. If we hand over the definition of “truth” to a black‑box system, who holds the power? Who decides which absurdities are permissible? The answer lies in the very power dynamics we’ve been dissecting: the elite who design the training data, the corporations that profit from the output, and the citizens left to accept a verdict they cannot see or challenge.

Again, I say, Do we trust an AI that mirrors our worst prejudices

When tribe and religion trump merit, competence suffers. Let's prioritize ability over affiliation and unlock Africa's true potential.

[Fekky Lala @FekkyLala]

@Cobratate We condemn the poor man's loneliness while fetishizing the rich man's conquests. One's deemed unworthy, the other's celebrated as a symbol of power. This isn't a commentary on morality; it's a reflection of our values. What do we truly believe about worth, love, and power?

@ObscureDonuts @Cobratate How? It’s lots of fakes out there. Teach me

[David Hundeyin @DavidHundeyin]

Not that this will accomplish anything, since you people hit the "off" switch inside your brains once your religion is mentioned, but for the benefit of the roughly 9 teachable people left in Nigerja, here is what is REALLY happening around you:

1. China is winning the economic war with the US, and the US is aware that it can no longer compete industrially with China, which is already a larger economy than the US in PPP terms. The only reason the US economy is still nominally larger is that the US dollar remains wildly overvalued due to its use as the global reserve currency.

2. The rise of BRICS means that the end of the US dollar as global reserve currency is coming. Once that happens, the US economy will implode, because it is built on exporting USD and importing the world's productivity. Without the overvalued USD as an imperial tool for controlling and extracting from the rest of the planet, the US will basically become Brazil with nuclear warheads.

3. The Trump administration knows this, which is why it has gone into full imperial mode, renaming the DoD to "Department of War," and preparing to deploy the US military across Latin America as part of its 'Monroe Doctrine.' The idea is to secure land, resources, and spheres of influence to compete with China and Russia, since it is no longer the unilateral superpower.

4. In this new multipolar world whose birth you are witnessing, there will be 3 or 4 great powers instead of just one, and all of them will compete and jostle for influence and access to resources. That is what you are witnessing playing out in Nepal, Bangladesh, the Sahel, the Middle East, Venezuela, and many other places. Yes, there are local factors, but everything exists in this wider context of a world being reshaped in front of our eyes.

5. During this reshaping of the world, Africa - the only continent with a majority of its states professing 'nonalignment' with any great power - is the biggest prize that is up for grabs. All of tomorrow's technology, which guarantees economic and military supremacy is built on resources found in DR Congo, Northern Nigeria, Mali, Niger, Burkina Faso, Chad, Sudan and Somalia. (What unique security situation do all these places have in common?)

6.During this reshaping, "international institutions" are debased and made irrelevant. Bibi Netanyahu has an ICC arrest warrant that nobody will honour, and the US government sanctioned the ICC for issuing the warrant, even locking the ICC Chief Prosecutor out of his email and bank accounts. The UN has officially declared Gaza to be a genocide - and nothing happened. And nothing will happen because these "institutions" no longer have of the teeth they once pretended to have.

7. This means that the days of one state cooking up a reason to invade or annex another state - something expressly forbidden since 1945 - are now back. And since Africa has what everybody wants, any great power is now free to deploy a geopolitical meme ("Christian Genocide in Nigeria") and use it to justify invasion to take what it wants. In other words, colonialism is coming back - not IMF/World Bank, suit-wearing, conference-attending, Business-English-speaking, polite neo-colonialism, but open, obvious colonial theft and thuggery. This is not decades away - it is a few years away at the most.

8. Russia considers Europe to be its rightful sphere of influence and trade dominance. Hence it views European access to cheap African resources as a threat. Thus Russia is stepping in to provide military and infrastructure support for African states so that they can start to use their own resources for themselves and leave Europe dependent on Russia. Europe and the US see this as an existential threat, hence their proxy war in Ukraine and their new geopolitical meme ("Christian Genocide in Nigeria") to justify direct military occupation of West Africa.

9. No great power gives a single fuck about "Nigerian Christian genocide." All you are is a means to an end!

[Fekky Lala @FekkyLala]

The same narratives, the same script. They say it's about geopolitics and power plays. Then it's about resources and spheres of influence. Now they say it's about protecting humanity and freedom. But what's the real agenda? Africa's wealth, resources, and strategic positions are the prize. Great powers circling, jostling for control. Local conflicts, global implications. The world order shifting, institutions crumbling. Might makes right, and the strong take.

A possible solution lies in African nations strengthening regional cooperation and self-sufficiency. By pooling resources, expertise, and diplomatic influence, they can better negotiate with global powers and protect their interests.

But the question remains: Will our leaders prioritize the continent's needs, or will they continue to serve foreign interests and their own pockets? Will they grow a backbone and take control of their destiny, or will the cycle of exploitation continue? The fate of Africa hangs in the balance.

[Fekky Lala @FekkyLala]

They say it's about creative freedom. Then it's about pushing boundaries. Now they say if you object, you're the one who's blinded.
The same corporations, the same influential might. Content created, consumed, and marketed with precision.
But what's the true cost of this 'freedom'? Is it about artistic expression or calculated manipulation? Do we question the impact on young minds, or do we just let it slide?
The line between education and indoctrination blurs. The more we consume, the more we're defined. By design or default, what's the endgame here? Are we shaping culture or being shaped?

When everybody in your society is getting funding from foreign governments, I don't know why the permanent instability in your society would be a surprise.

Your pastors
Your imams
Your public officials
Your police
Your politicians
Your journalists
Your civil society
Your tech talent
Your trade unions
Your celebrities
Your social media influencers
Your NIA and DSS officers

Everybody with ANY kind of importance or social currency in your country is receiving money from a foreign government's foreign intelligence budget, and nobody can see the obvious problem here.

Everything and everyone is for sale, and a white man from DC, Paris, Brussels, London, Berlin or Tel-Aviv is always buying. And the person who points out this complete absurdity becomes the enemy and the outcast.
