I’ve spent the past couple of weeks building Looters: a public archive of Nigerian political corruption since the 1990s.
Governors, ministers, shell companies, Swiss accounts, the Jersey trusts, — one searchable graph.

My "Roman Empire is the realization that my life is a lottery win. Somewhere in Sudan, Pålestine, iran, Afghanistan, Iraq or Congo, there is a boy smarter than me. He is more disciplined, more resilient, and holds more potential in his single finger than I do in my entire career.
The only difference? I am siting in a train and he is sting in the rubble of his dreams.
My "bad days" are his wildest dreams.
My "burnout" is a luxury he can't afford because his only job is staying alive.
It's geographical luck and it's a haunting injustice that we all refuse to acknowledge and look away
@mattepstein Bruh 😂 I almost blocked you and said let me read through first I hate these over the top we are so cooked tweets these days, big fan of your launch videos
@MessiEnjoyer96 Google did have first movers advantage from a foundational perspective of modelling, OAI only had first movers consumer facing advantage
i found a way to make AI videos that don't sound like AI...
example below....
sora 2, veo 3.1, kling 2.6 are decent but they all have that robotic AI accent that everyone can detect immediately
and when people try replacing the voices with elevenlabs, it always sounds way too professional
like it's recorded on a professional mic in a studio
but if i'm making a UGC video of someone in their room, i don't want studio quality
it should sound like it's actually in that room
the workflow i use completely removes that fake AI voice sound
why this matters:
when your AI voices sound too polished or robotic, people notice. their guard goes up. they disengage.
but when your voices sound like they're coming from a real person in a real room, that's when they work the best
i created a guide breaking down exactly how:
> to create voiceovers that sound completely real
> to replace fake-sounding voices in AI videos (not elevenlabs)
> to make voices sound like they're in the actual environment, not a studio
RT + reply "VOICE" and i'll send you the FULL guide (must follow so i can DM)
@MartinGTobias@TheRobKennedy If it’s an image Google vision might be a good option then passing to llm, if pdf then that’s even easier you can download it and then do a backend upload lmk if you need any insight into this particular process I am building something that use url uploads and I found some ideas
@Philo01@sab8a Wow this is awesome any ideas for good realistic script to audio applications, intersting stack to spin up dirt cheap UGC videos for app show cases
It like ai dropped and the idea of under promising and over delivering got thrown out the window, 80% of things this year have over promised and under delivered #different
@corbin_braun I feel like the AI disillusion by a lot of people in the "Old Guard of software" mirrors blockbusters stuborness to evolve when Netflix first came out. It was right there in their faces but it was easier to make excuses for their inability to adapt. Agentic programming is here.
Looking for a cracked UI/UX designer with experience with creating progressive UI and focus on IOS initially. My focus is minimalist but still very functional, our app is detail heavy but with real world use cases that need to be the customer action outside the app we drive to.
