Please include trigger warnings in the news of injustices and violence. I am deeply emotionally affected when I see information like this, as I don’t believe in God; all my comfort and hope to live comes from civil justice and consequences.
My weekend is effectively ruined.
I borrowed 1.2M from OPay to change my phone and get some wigs in 100 level and I deleted the app when the interest was piling up too much and they kept disturbing me to pay back, I installed the app back now and y’all won’t believe how much my loan has become 😭

Not cheering for Cape Verde sha. Until they change their visa/entrance policies towards Nigerian passport holders. But that’s just me. I keep malice.
Argentina also collects. So I was hate watching both ways.
So in February I started disputing every case where cancellation had been deliberately obstructed. $758 recovered so far, after a lot of teeth-gritting back and forth. Aluta continua. We die here. Awon ole buruku.
I found almost $2,000 in subscriptions I was paying for and not using. The wasted money wasn’t even the worst part. It was realising how many of these companies engineer cancellation to be nearly impossible.
acknowledged it in writing, and refunded. Very convenient accident. By the time I had pulled every dead email and buried charge into one place, cross-checking their useless terms with Copilot, Excel and Claude, I was seeing RED.
Boycotting immoral corporations is the only thing that will make this strategy work. Otherwise, competition will drive everyone to cut costs by laying people off. Most humans perform jobs requiring low intellectual effort; what type of human capital could be useful in such a landscape?
Also, as time progresses, models will keep getting better and better due to the accumulation of knowledge in the human-AI loop. The need for human labor will progressively decrease until all that remains are human feelings and experiences. These might even feel inferior to those of machines, since machines will be doing the glorious jobs of unraveling the secrets of the universe and reaching ultimate power!
The economy is a concept of the past—or it soon will be. We should start exploring how humans can build an existence without the concept of an economy! This is an unsolved problem; China's system is a legacy, self-rotting one, and while the US system is not self-rotting, it depends on capitalism and free markets to survive—things that will not exist soon.
This is an open problem that needs to be solved! The US relies on how much money you have to gain power, but such a medium will soon be meaningless. Communism is a self-rotting system; it is not the answer!
We need AGI/ASI. Jobs are stressful and full of misery for most, so we need to eradicate them! Who will solve this issue by eliminating the trade-offs so we can have both? This is the ultimate question!
Students finish AI-friendly math problems faster, but they seem to learn less from them.
The researchers studied 3.2 million ALEKS math learning records across 10 years to see what changed after ChatGPT became available.
Finishing faster is not automatically learning more efficiently, because math practice builds knowledge through the friction of choosing a representation, testing a step, making an error, and correcting it.
When a chatbot supplies the path, the student may still submit the answer, but the mind has skipped the work that turns exposure into memory.
They compare word problems, which students can easily paste into an AI chatbot, with graph problems, which are harder to hand off because they require visual work inside the platform.
After ChatGPT, high school and college students spent much less time on the AI-friendly word problems, while younger students showed smaller or no change.
This time drop disappeared when tests were proctored, which suggests the faster work was not just students getting better or the platform changing.
The learning cost showed up later: on proctored retention questions, students became about 25% less likely to answer AI-friendly items correctly, even though they looked better on non-proctored items where AI could still help.

Rich Nigerians brought an elderly woman from Nigeria and forced her to be a slave for 10 years. They didn't even pay her £1. This cruelty is unmatched.
