Yesterday, I had the honour of performing the groundbreaking ceremony for the construction of 1,200 housing units under the Federal Housing Authority’s Renewed Hope Housing Project in Umuahia.
This landmark project, made possible through the collaboration between the Federal Government and the Abia State Government, makes Abia the first state in the South East, and among the first five states in Nigeria, to partner with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s administration on this initiative.
I sincerely thank His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, for approving the project and commend the MD/CEO of the Federal Housing Authority, Hon. Oyetunde Oladimeji Ojo, and his team for their commitment. Together, we are expanding access to affordable housing and improving the welfare of our people.
Before authorising the groundbreaking, we ensured that verified landowners among the host communities were duly compensated. Out of about 900 claimants, over 800 have already been settled in full, while the remaining are encouraged to resolve bank or ownership issues so they can access their payments, which are already deposited in the bank.
As I emphasized during the ceremony, our focus remains on people-oriented projects that uplift lives, beyond the distractions of politics, ethnicity, or religion. The welfare of Abians will continue to be our priority.
Why did Anthropic hold back Mythos?
@DavidSacks:
“ Marc Andreessen pointed out that one of the reasons why Anthropic might've wanted to hold back Mythos, is they simply didn't have the compute to serve it.
The model was huge and very expensive to serve, something like 10 or 20x the token cost of, say, Opus.
They knew Opus 4.7 was coming out, right?
So they hold it back knowing that they don't have the compute to serve it anyway, and they save their compute for the next iteration of Opus.
And then by holding it back, they create this impression of scarcity and altruism, and it turns into this gigantic marketing event for their product, because everyone in the government's like, 'Oh wow, they're holding it back because it's so amazing.'
Now look, I think it may have been genuinely altruistic as well in the sense that Mythos does reveal coding vulnerabilities that people didn't know about before.
And it does make sense to give time to companies with large code bases to patch these dormant bugs and vulnerabilities.
But, it's looking more and more like Anthropic could not have offered that model commercially anyway, because it was just too big and expensive, and they needed to create space for Opus 4.7.
So it's an interesting theory on what actually happened there.”
My Input:
What stands out here is the balance. He didn’t say do this or else, and he didn’t ignore the issue either. He addressed it without pressure but still made his expectations clear. That’s maturity. Because at the end of the day, you can’t build anything solid with someone who only does the right thing when they’re told. It has to come from understanding what you’re protecting.
Because real love isn’t about forcing someone to behave right, it’s about both people choosing to move with sense even when nobody is watching. A lot of relationships struggle not because of lack of love, but lack of responsibility and good communication like this.
