@OrtodoxMD Blindly following the Anti-Abiy mob is a sign of low IQ akin to saying the star in the EPRDF-era Ethiopian flag is a sign of the Illuminati.
@timnitGebru I repeat. Don’t listen to Timnit, especially if you are from an underprivileged community. We can’t afford to bother about the kind of AI “ethics” she rants about. Use AI as aggressively as possible.
@timnitGebru Don’t listen to Timnit. She’s clueless. One day, she says LLMs are stupid and useless, and the next, she says they’re too powerful and can cause great damage.
If you’re from an underprivileged background, AI is a great tool to help you compete with those with more privileges.
@darwintojesus Incredible! Someone intelligent has invested a significant amount of time in creating this for our enjoyment. Thank you, creator, for this.
Ethiopian labor productivity is very low. Hence, companies overemploy and underpay. Let me give you an example, Gaea hires 44 individuals. A rental commercial building has 80 employees. Do we really need that many people around the clock? No. Can the job be done with half? YES!
@JeffDean@S_OhEigeartaigh I truly love Jeff Dean. I’m immensely grateful for his support of Africa. I’m hoping for a long and more impactful leadership for him.
The job of software developers has changed significantly. I don’t write code anymore. I prompt Claude code all day. Agent steering is our job now. There is no reason to write code by hand at all. Even the small one two liners are easier done via prompting than actually writing them. It’s a much more enjoyable experience than the high level of focus and precision that writing code by hand requires. You don’t worry about spelling. You don’t worry about syntax.

Stop the War: Save the Youth!
The "deaf" political and military leadership of Tigray is currently on a path of madness. The destruction unfolding over the past four days is a clear sign that they are forcing the people of Tigray to pay a price even heavier than what we have paid before.
The "engineers of failure" who claim to provide political leadership have long since turned "falling into traps without any preparation" into a profession. Let’s set aside the mockery of their claims over the last few days—such as, "We entered because the Federal government allowed us; we didn't expect gunfire." This force has made it clear that it is determined to let the people perish. To date, countless youth have been exposed to martyrdom and injury. Through this leadership, there will be no victory—not even a "dignified death."
A Critique of Military Tactics
The group of henchmen known as the "high military leadership" blindly follows everything the organization says. They repeatedly use failed military styles, expecting a different result. They attempt to secure victory by sacrificing waves of human power; they have no desire to learn from the past.
To the Generals and Colonels: the war tactics you follow would not be sustainable even if you had half the population of China, let alone the population of Tigray. Try to rid yourselves of the ignorance that says, "It doesn't matter if the youth are finished." The side you are facing has already countered almost all of your tactics.
By the path you are taking, you are going to make Tigray "youthless"—even worse than the Eritrea led by Isaias, whom you currently claim as your rival. In these last three or four days, we are witnessing a shameful approach, contrary to our old culture, where even the wounded are being abandoned. It is painful.
The Path Forward
With this current destructive path, I fear we will not only fail to return our displaced people to their homes or ensure the constitutional jurisdiction of Tigray, but we will also lose the little we have left. To achieve our desires, the only thing that will benefit us is pursuing peace and peaceful means, no matter how long it takes.
If war is your "daily bread," at least take the time to prepare properly. But above all, allow the youth to decide their own future.
A Call to the Tigray Fighter
To the Tigray fighter: You have shown through repeated sacrifice that the suffering and hardship of your people pain you, and that you have a deep desire for Tigray to achieve its full right to self-determination. Do not allow the political-military leadership—which has made your sacrifices go in vain—to push you off a cliff once again. Be the master of your own destiny.
Conclusion
Finally, to those of you calling yourselves leaders: whether your goals are "holy" or "evil," you are using the blood of the youth as a gambling chip. Stop this started war immediately. Put aside the issue of your own "skin" (personal safety/interest) and choose only the path of peace. Accept that the existence of our people is greater than your own honor.
