2 important dots to connect:
1986: IMF Structural Adjustment Program in Nigeria mandates Babangida to liberalise Nigeria's news media and information space. Foreign ownership and funding of mass media is permitted in Nigeria for the first time.
2026: 40 years later, after 2 generations of post-SAP Nigerians have been marinated in American-funded news, "education" and entertainment media for their entire lives, most Nigerians now believe they are Deputy Americans, and hold their primary allegiance to a country they have never been to on another continent. They now support openly imperialist actions by the US and would happily grind their own mothers into paste if the US president tells them to.
Bonus point: The US government owns 17% of the IMF, which requires an 85% voting majority to take decisions. This means the US holds veto power in the IMF, and the IMF is functionally an extension of US foreign policy.
I think possibly the best thing about Elon Musk becoming a trillionaire is how angry it makes a bunch of losers who've never built a thing in their lives.
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.

@Sundiatakeite@FinPlanKaluAja1@SenSanders Let's say I buy into your socialist beliefs, what are your plans to achieve this perfect society you speak of if the wealth you claim is hoarded is released to you? Before you answer I need you to hold onto this thought, how many socialist nations have eliminated poverty?
@Sundiatakeite@FinPlanKaluAja1@SenSanders You're sounding like a pro-socialist, jysk there is no one definition of bettering ourselves. Who is defining what that means?
MKO Abiola died for a mandate that was stolen.
We named a holiday after him.
The people who stole the mandate named the holiday.
Let that sit with you.
