US Government is Creating AI Apartheid https://t.co/lVsE4NWzSf I discuss briefly here the recent ban on Anthropic releasing its Fable AI model to non-Americans, especially in the light of Fable being already a dumbed down version of Mythos (previously released only to corporations and the American government). I relate this to the recent freezing of Starlink by the Indian government, emphasizing that there is no cutting edge technology divorced from geopolitics and competition among world powers.
Vibe coders are getting sued.
People are launching apps with real users but skipping the boring stuff that can actually kill the product.
A developer with 20+ years of experience just shared the pre-launch checklist every AI builder should run:
→ privacy policy if you collect user data
→ know where user data is stored
→ check security headers
→ scan against OWASP basics
→ look for SQL injection / XSS / auth issues
→ make sure .env values are not leaking
→ check API responses for sensitive data
→ remove secrets from logs
→ never expose API keys in frontend code
→ move keys server-side or behind a proxy
→ add rate limits before someone burns your API bill
This is what most vibe coders are missing.
AI can help you build the app.
But if you launch without security, privacy, and abuse checks...
you didn't ship a product.
you shipped a liability.
@heyblake Criei o EazyAL porque estava cansado de perder horas com burocracia.
SIBA, INE, taxas turísticas… tudo manual.
Hoje faço tudo em minutos.
Agora qualquer anfitrião pode fazer o mesmo.
Anuncie. Receba. Simplifique.

Superb analysis! Quote: Imagine you could go back to 1870 and buy American farmland. Not because you predicted the railroad or the dollar or the Constitution, but because you understood that a continent-sized democracy with the richest soil on earth, more fresh water than it could ever use, and a young population hungry to build would, over the long arc of time, become the most valuable territory in human history. You wouldn't need to predict anything about policy. You'd just need to understand the physics of the endowment.
That is the position Brazil occupies today. And the fracturing of the old world order is compressing a thesis that might have played out over twenty years into something that demands attention now.
This is not a bull case built on GDP forecasts, reform optimism, or election outcomes. Those are noise. This is a case built on geology, hydrology, biology, and demography. Forces that operate on timescales measured in decades and centuries, not congressional terms and central bank meetings. The thesis is simple: Brazil possesses a combination of irreplaceable natural advantages that no other nation on earth can replicate, and those advantages are being dramatically mispriced by a global investment community that is overexposed to the same handful of crowded trades and structurally blind to the Southern Hemisphere.

@ThabisoGoba2 Point being, the “material” used for comparison / competition between Cape Town’s governance and Joburgs governance should be :
a city vs city comparison ( Cape Town CBD vs Joburg CBD)
or
informal settlement vs informal settlement
The most underrated SaaS skill in 2026: knowing when to say no to a paying customer.
Last month a user offered to upgrade to our highest plan if we added a specific integration. Sounded great on paper.
But the integration would have added complexity for every other user. More settings, more edge cases, more support load.
So I said no. Politely. Offered an alternative. They stayed anyway.
Every feature request from a paying customer feels urgent. But if you say yes to all of them, you end up building a product for 50 different people instead of one clear audience.
The products I admire most are the ones that are really good at one thing and completely ignore everything else.
Today’s health tip.
Hit the pavement.
Walking is one of the most underrated forms of medicine.
It improves heart health, lowers stress, supports fat loss, boosts mood, and even helps regulate blood sugar, all without needing a gym.
You don’t need perfect conditions. You just need to start.
10–20 minutes a day adds up more than you think. Stay consistent and let the small wins compound.
Just had a lead tell me they found me through ChatGPT 🤯
SEO is changing. Distribution is changing.
People aren’t just googling anymore — they’re asking AI.

As a front-end developer, Codex has been a game changer. Try out the front end skill!! Insane with Flutter
On a Pro plan, it just works — fast, consistent, and I rarely hit limits.
Tried Claude Pro too, but the usage caps + friction make it hard to rely on daily.
@Leon_Schreib went to @CapitecBankSA table bay mall to change to new ID card. System wouldn't take any of my finger prints. Lady said it's because I'm a naturalized citizen and have to go to @HomeAffairsSA Is the system only available for people born in SA?
Most “overnight success” stories aren’t about the product — they’re about distribution.
If you don’t have:
• an audience
• a community
• or a place people already trust you
…your “great tool” is basically invisible.
Build access first.
