Really sad that former Wits politics lecturer Dr Stephen Louw @Stephen_Louw has passed away. Stephen was a kind and affable colleague that made a mark on a generation of students at Wits. Stephen dedicated over three decades to @Witspolitics and will be fondly remembered by many.

Bongi alone in the locker room, crying after the win against England 🥹

The coaches coming to console him and hug him 💚

What was your favourite moment from episode four of #ChasingTheSun2?

[Brandon Portnoy @BrandonPortnoy]

Bongi cried those tears with 60million of us. Imagine the chaos going around that stadium and the pure emotion and relief in that changeroom, alone. Mike Tyson 💛🥊 #ChasingTheSun2

Reddit user made an Adidas advert with Midjourney and Runway.

Here's my prediction: AI will unlock hidden Christopher Nolans.

Social media removed the gatekeepers of fame. The biggest talk show hosts aren't on TV -- they are now on YouTube and Spotify.

AI will remove the gatekeepers for directors: There's so much creative talent that wants to be behind the camera.

They want to be what Joe Rogan was to TV hosts -- but for movies and commercials.

In 2023, to make award-winning movies or commercials -- you still need the infrastructure of major studios behind you.

But for how long?

My prediction: We are going to see a huge influx of Hidden Cristopher Nolans, creative people who don't want to be famous, but want to create incredible stories.

---

Note: This isn't a great advert.

However, it's great when you take into consideration the context: A solo Reddit user made this on their coffee break.

It's like staring at the first banner ads in 1994.

The future of advertising and content creation is going to be fascinating.

New Christopher Nolans will be born. Their movies and commercials will reach billions of people -- and most people will have no clue who they are.

Springbok defensive pushes were incredible

[GabrielShamu @GabrielShamu]

😂😂😂😂

[A-P @rugby_ap]

Pioneered the best defensive system in rugby, one no other team has been able or daring enough to emulate.

Was visionary enough to see the potential of Fourie at hooker, Grant and Cobus on the wing, Faf at flyhalf and Moodie at 13 - and was brave enough to pick them there.

Responsible for 7/1 splits; the most talked about innovation in the game for years.

Jacques Nienaber is a legend.

At this rate Sancho will out last ETH😓
