Had the privilege of interacting @JeffDean, one of the most respected Computer Scientists of our time. Computer Science Dept., UG collaborating with Google AI is the first step towards an exciting future..... Don’t be left out...

[Agbo Tettey Soli (PhD) @codeoverdoze]

@Yaw_Ridwan And what worries me even more is how often some of our supposed experts speak as though AI begins and ends with LLMs. We have a lot of people speaking on a subject they understand next to nothing about.

[Agbo Tettey Soli (PhD) @codeoverdoze]

@Yaw_Ridwan I think we should be careful not to let our opinions of the person overshadow the substance of what they’re saying.

The data sovereignty argument being used to advance the case for an AI compute data centre has its limits.

[Agbo Tettey Soli (PhD) @codeoverdoze]

@Yaw_Ridwan My concern is that we are championing the data centre without demonstrating that the groundwork needed to make it useful and sustainable has been done. Education, Capacity Building, Clear roadmap.

[Agbo Tettey Soli (PhD) @codeoverdoze]

@Yaw_Ridwan Look at the low-hanging fruit: much of the enterprise software and many of the consumer applications we use are foreign-owned and controlled. Who will operate and manage this centre? Have we developed the local talent? Where will the datasets for training our AI models come from?

[Agbo Tettey Soli (PhD) @codeoverdoze]

@Yaw_Ridwan That is not to say having our own AI compute data centre has no benefits. It certainly does. But at what cost, and are our priorities in the right order?

[Agbo Tettey Soli (PhD) @codeoverdoze]

@Yaw_Ridwan Even the US–China technology rivalry exposes the limitations of sovereignty built on technology controlled elsewhere. From hardware to software and security components.

Hosting that infrastructure locally does not, by itself, make us independent of foreign technological control.

Let not a fool behold your work before it has become what you intended.

[Agbo Tettey Soli (PhD) @codeoverdoze]

Can we agree that, as Ghanaians, we are already well aware of our challenges? Repeating these issues over and over seems unproductive. Whenever there’s a platform for engagement, the focus is always on discussing the problems rather than exploring solutions. Why is this the case?

[Agbo Tettey Soli (PhD) @codeoverdoze]

@donkorBN Definitely not easy and that’s why it requires bold, contrarian thinking 💭

[Agbo Tettey Soli (PhD) @codeoverdoze]

The goal isn’t just to compete; it’s to transcend competition. Build something so unique and extraordinary that the world can’t help but take notice. That’s how you create lasting success.

[Agbo Tettey Soli (PhD) @codeoverdoze]

Have you ever read a book that felt like it was articulating thoughts you couldn’t quite put into words? That’s exactly how I felt after reading Zero to One by Peter Thiel.

[Agbo Tettey Soli (PhD) @codeoverdoze]

When you discover one of these secrets and act on it, you don’t just compete—you create a monopoly, a space where you’re the sole player. And that’s the key: success isn’t about playing the same game better—it’s about redefining the game entirely.

@oniicode Time to think of an antivirus because, ei!

[Agbo Tettey Soli (PhD) @codeoverdoze]

Am I the only one disappointed by how people think these days? Where did all those hours of Logic lessons in school go? Or maybe my expectations are just too high 🤔. Complaints aside, what’s the next step? How do we move forward?

[Agbo Tettey Soli (PhD) @codeoverdoze]

@BaffourBoampong Chale… The stories dierrr plenty oo. We for hold “spaces” discuss am.
