@BlackAndNative1 Very traumatic! It was the first time we saw Blackthought without his dreadlocks. That plus the soft music.... - We thought we'd lost him.

Growing up in South Africa, coding always felt like it belonged to someone else's language.

So I built my own.

Mexico vs South Africa:

If we support south Africa they'll say we are taking their jobs.

Africa stays losing!! 💔💔

on average, Super Group (Betway) now generates $6.8m (R113m) in revenue every single day (read that again) 💰💰

the company crushed ANOTHER record breaking quarter with revenue, deposits & bets at all time highs

that's R10bn in revenue & R2.5bn in EBITDA in just three months (with a juicy 25% profit margin)

they also broke 6.5 million monthly active gamblers in March (another record)

44% of net revenue comes from Africa, their single largest region 🎰🎰

[uMpumelelo @Mpumi_C]

@iamkoshiek @SizweLo But they pay local sports stars to smile on their billboards & say things like " winners know when to stop" & "gamble responsibly" .. doesn't that count?

[uMpumelelo @Mpumi_C]

Agreed!💯

ChatGPT diagnosed 40 million people with a disease that was invented as a joke.

Not a real disease. Not a misunderstood disease. A completely fictional condition with a fake name, fake papers, and fake statistics.

And it told patients to see a specialist.

The disease is called Bixonimania. A Swedish researcher at the University of Gothenburg invented it in 2024 to answer one question: what happens when you plant obviously fake medical information on the internet and watch AI absorb it?

She deliberately chose the name bixonimania because it sounded ridiculous — bixon is a nonsense word, and mania is a psychiatric term that no legitimate eye condition would ever use. She uploaded two papers to a preprint server. Both were obviously fraudulent. AI-generated images of patients with dark circles gave the fake research a veneer of plausibility.

Then she waited.

She did not have to wait long.

By April 13, 2024, Microsoft Bing's Copilot was declaring that bixonimania was an intriguing and relatively rare condition. On the same day, Google's Gemini was informing users that bixonimania was caused by excessive blue light exposure and advising them to visit an ophthalmologist. Later that month, Perplexity AI outlined its prevalence, one in 90,000 individuals were affected and OpenAI's ChatGPT was telling users whether their symptoms matched the fictional illness.

One in 90,000. A precise statistic. For a disease that does not exist.

Every red flag was visible. The name was absurd. The papers were crude. The condition made no scientific sense. None of the AI systems flagged any of it.

They read the fake papers. They absorbed the fake statistics. They presented both to patients with clinical authority and zero hesitation.

Then it got worse.

Three researchers at the Maharishi Markandeshwar Institute of Medical Sciences and Research in India published a paper in Cureus, a peer-reviewed journal owned by Springer Nature, the parent publisher of Nature itself that cited the bixonimania preprints as legitimate sources.

A real peer-reviewed paper. In a Springer Nature journal. Citing a fictional disease as established medical fact. Passing editorial review. Entering the permanent scientific record.

It was only retracted after the hoax became public.

Nature published a full investigation of the experiment. Alex Ruani, a health-misinformation researcher at University College London, called it a masterclass in how misinformation operates.

Here is the scale of what this means.

More than 40 million people turn to ChatGPT every day for health information, according to OpenAI's own analysis. ECRI, a US patient-safety nonprofit has named chatbot misuse the number-one health technology hazard of 2026. ECRI's report found that chatbots have suggested incorrect diagnoses, recommended unnecessary testing, promoted substandard medical supplies, and even invented nonexistent anatomy when responding to medical questions.

Number one. Out of every health technology hazard that exists in 2026.

An April 2026 study published in BMJ Open found that nearly half of the answers provided by leading AI chatbots to common health questions contain misleading or problematic information.

Nearly half. Of all health answers. From the tools 40 million people use every day.

Here is the line from the researcher that cuts through everything.

The Bixonimania case is striking precisely because it was engineered to be so obviously fake. The real question it raises is: what is passing through the same systems that is not nearly so easy to spot?

The experiment used a ridiculous name. Fraudulent papers. Visible red flags at every level.

It was designed to be caught.

It was not caught.

The AI that told patients about Bixonimania is the same AI they asked about their chest pain, their medication, their child's symptoms, and their cancer screening schedule.

40 million people. Every day.

And nobody is telling them that nearly half of what comes back may be wrong.

Minister, believe it or not, we actually want you to succeed. Not because we support you, but because the youth of this country are DESPERATE for jobs and dignity.

So when we ask for accountability, it's not an attack.

Now that we got that preview out of the way, Minister, can you update us on the “Spaza Shop” fund?

1. How much was deployed?
2. To whom?
3. Which asset management company was given the mandate to manage that fund?
4. How were they selected?
5. What's the performance of the fund thus far?
6. Where are the Spaza shops & the underlying Spaza shop owners that your fund has assisted?

Asilwi. Siyabuza.

We will wait in the comments for feedback.

HIS LAST SONA

Mr. Speaker, in accordance with the Constitution, I will leave the leadership of our country to His Honour the Vice President – a patriot, who I am sure will carry the mantle of leadership with distinction, as he has previously done. I do not take sole credit for the substantial achievements I have just outlined, as no individual, however determined, can develop a country without the support of Cabinet colleagues, one’s party, other political parties, traditional leadership, religious organizations, the private sector, Non- Governmental Organisations, civil society, worker organizations, the media, academia and a vibrant citizenry.
