NSSF says a cyberattack slowed its systems, leading to a drop in benefits paid to exiting members.
Payouts fell to Sh8.7 billion from Sh9.7 billion in the year ended June 2025.
Block just confirmed 4,000 layoffs but I'm hearing the real number is closer to 4,800 when you count contractors and the "voluntary separation" packages pushed through yesterday
Sources inside are saying Jack Dorsey walked into the all-hands with a 47-slide deck titled "Building Tomorrow's Block"
Slide 23 showed current org chart: 10,200 people. Slide 24 showed target org: 5,900 people by July
The brutal part: they've been screen recording every engineering session for 6 months. Called it "knowledge capture for AI training"
Senior engineers thought they were helping build internal tools. They were actually training their replacements
I'm told the offshore team in Bangalore already has access to the entire codebase documentation, decision trees, and architectural reasoning - all extracted from those recordings
One L7 architect realized yesterday that his "AI pair programming" sessions were being fed directly into training data for automated code generation
The team that built their payment processing infrastructure? All gone. Replaced by 3 contractors with Claude Sonnet and the complete prompt library of the guy they just walked out
Word is they're planning to cut another 2,000 in Q2 once the AI agents can handle customer support escalations
But sure, keep telling people that AI will "augment" their jobs instead of erasing them
The knowledge extraction is complete

The World Bank is backing a plan to introduce a digital fare system for public transport in Nairobi.

@jaydwivedi_ Wrong—Sora is currently the most popular app for producing fake war videos.
Virtually every single one posted on X in the last 48 hours has Sora metadata. OpenAI has cornered the market in misinformation. Absolutely revolutionary technology.
🚨 UPDATE: Another Somali fraudster found and pleaded guilty to a $6 million “Autism Center” fraud scheme in Minnesota.
The Fraudster Yussuf started the “center” at just 22 and hired unqualified staff, billed impossible hours, and paid kickbacks to families to sign kids up.
He sent over $200,000 to Kenya bought a $100,000 semi-truck and admitted in court he didn’t even know anyone with autism — “investors” supplied fake clients while he handled the paperwork and fraud.
This is just one case in MN’s massive autism/Medicaid fraud crackdown — BILLIONS have been stolen statewide. Here is an example of these “autism centers”…
@GovTimWalz and @IlhanMN anything you’d like to say?
Please note: A prior version of this clarification was grammatically ambiguous. As a customer service measure, Kalshi will reimburse lost value due to trades made between these clarifications.
MARKET RULES CLARIFICATION: If Ali Khamenei dies, the market will resolve upon the confirmed reporting of the death, based on the last traded price prior to death. If that price is unclear, the Outcome Review Committee will determine a fair market value.
