I am always right😇

If you block me here, you conceded that I was right.

They got black Americans paying to give themselves diabetes and pay for diabetes treatment. CIA please it's enough you won.

I have heard this sentiment before, but are we not judging Meta as if they are trying to sell us a $20/month consumer subscription to compete with ChatGPT, cos they aren't.
Meta is fundamentally an advertising coy. 98% revenue comes from ads.
I don't think Zuck cares if you use Meta AI to write a poem or code. Their real AI is running silently in the background, fundamentally restructuring how global digital marketing operates and spends their ad budgets
The way I see it, Mark Zuckerberg is looking at a back-end ad server and realising he is about to dethrone Google.

You gonna be rich forever once you figure out how to sell status to middle class Black people.

Running a business is just realizing how dumb you were 6 months ago every 6 months

I wish Africans in the diaspora would stop building specifically for Africa. Why limit your ambitions to a small market with almost zero ability to pay?

Build for the world, and Africa will use your product too.

John Maynard Keynes: if you owe your bank a hundred pounds, you have a problem, but if you owe a million, it is the bank that has a problem.

Mega-debtors use the sheer size of their debt as an absolute shield.

[Everest @novieverest]

Obijackson, the owner of Nestoil is a terrible debtor. Anyone in the oil and gas industry is aware of this. When I first graduated and was seeking a job, people with experience said no matter the amount, don't work there.
You can work for 6 months without pay.

My question is this - Unless banks have targets or something else, why give him loans to that amount?
Banks are more informed than the ordinary man.
Why use an ex parte order when you can get it through the right channel?

@NGSuperEagles we conceded late goals . we need to work on that

Compute inflation is the silent startup killer. While the cost per transistor has historically dropped due to Moore's Law, the parameter count of frontier models has scaled so aggressively that net operational costs for applications are actually rising, fundamentally altering SaaS economics.

This $15K figure is terrifyingly realistic. At premium tier pricing for top-end models, processing a billion input tokens and generating high-quality outputs can easily run into the tens of thousands.
AI is the first software revolution in which the marginal cost of serving a user does not immediately trend toward zero.

I 🩷 how Rolls-Royce takes a different approach from the usual EV competition. Instead of just focusing on aerodynamics, it leverages its impressive weight to glide smoothly over the road.

This vehicle lets the elite showcase their modern eco-awareness while maintaining a substantial presence, similar to an armored Cybertruck.

Even though the marketing highlights a quick 28-minute fast-charging feature, behavioral data reveals that HNIs rarely use public charging stations, preferring customized multi-phase home charging setups. so I see that part of the marketing being reduced in thr future

[Sawyer Merritt @SawyerMerritt]

A PhD is supposed to be the beginning of a massive intellectual pursuit, not the crowning achievement.

You are there to invent new algorithms, push the boundaries of AI, or solve complex computational problems.

When you immediately pivot to selling an eBook about how you got in, you are signaling to the world that the admission itself was your actual goal.

You are no longer focused on the science; you are focused on the status. You have become the guy who managed to sneak into the VIP room, but instead of networking with the billionaires inside, you are busy posting selfies to IG.
SHAME!

[Balewa @aprilbox]

Many Nigerians do not view themselves as part of the oppressed class; instead, they view themselves as future members of the elite.

​By defending the government and the status quo, they are psychologically defending the very system they hope to one day benefit from and exploit.
