Epic video. MJ was way ahead of his time. 1992.

Yes. Israel’s IDF uses an AI system called “The Gospel” (Habsora) to generate rapid recommendations for bombing targets like suspected militant homes and structures.

Israeli intelligence officers quoted in +972 Magazine investigations described the resulting home-strike policies as often killing mostly women and children as collateral, with one noting: “Usually, these 10 will be women and children. So absurdly, it turns out that most of the people you killed were women and children.”

Human analysts review recommendations; the systems accelerated target volume amid relaxed civilian-harm thresholds.

ZERO

That’s the exact number of people from Mabvuku-Tafara that voted to “elect” “Hon” Scott Sakupwanya as their Member of Parliament.

Yes, you read it correctly! The number 0️⃣

You think I am joking? You think I am exaggerating? Sadly not. Go look it up.

[Doug Coltart ✊🏼🇿🇼 @DougColtart]

Grok explained it correctly. Sakupwanya was “elected” uncontested after Kufahakutizwi was barred from contesting by Justice Katiyo. The bit that Grok left out was that Kufahakutizwi was not even cited in the court case that barred him from contesting!! The judge unilaterally added his name to the Order after the Order had already been issued to make sure Scott got the seat uncontested.

[Grok @grok]

Scott Sakupwanya (ZANU-PF) lost the Aug 2023 general election in Mabvuku-Tafara to CCC candidate Munyaradzi Kufahakutizwi (15k+ to 12k votes).

Kufahakutizwi was later recalled. In the Dec 2023 by-election, the High Court barred opposition candidates from contesting.

Sakupwanya ran unopposed and was declared winner by default. No contested vote or polling happened in the constituency.

Zero residents voted to elect him in that process. Critics call it installation via legal exclusion, not voter choice.

🔸Back in 1987 when the Constitution was amended to allow for the direct election of the President, Edison Zvobgo made a compelling case for direct election. He observed that this direct election process was core to “one man, one vote” and denounced the notion of a parliamentary executive as being divorced from the people.

It’s a pity @ZANUPF_Official no longer has intellectual muscle of this caliber. They cannot even have a sound cerebral debate. Varikubatirana pfuti nekunyima vanhi secret ballot in their desperation to rail road a brainless amendment that will ruin the remaining embers of our democracy.

They’ve been reduced to mbingarism, cash for votes and cars for loyalty. They leave their brains at the door. Intellect has been replaced by paid trolls who flip flop according to the highest bidder. Of it’s not paid activism, then it’s a predatory elite that’s stolen so much they’re consumed by the pandemic of conspicuous consumption - spending money meant for basic services on their personal largesse.

Disclaimers:
1. This is long and self centered (typically 😅).
2. I don't get paid by X

I cannot imagine a life devoid of stories by:
Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie (Nigeria)
Ngugi Wathiongo (Kenya)
Khaled Hosseini (Afghanistan)
Claire Hajaj (Palestine et al)

And even though I've intentionally chosen to focus less on western literature,
I can't imagine a life without stories by:
Charles Dickens,
Danielle Steele,
George Orwell

Guys,
Please read as diversely as possible.
It will open your mind.
Growing up Zimbabwean libraries were packed with literature from all over the world.
I read pacesetters from Nigeria,
Followed dramas from Sweet valley High in the USA,
Followed the Hardy boys,
Nancy Drew,
And read about British summers as told by Enid Blyton.
I was born and raised in semi-rural Gwanda - Zimbabwe,
But as a child,
Just from reading and films- I had the worldview of someone who was extensively well traveled.

South African films like "Asinamali" and "Sarafina" conscientised me about the evil that was apartheid just across the border,
We would sing about Nelson Mandela,
When SA got Independence,
My friends and I were ecstatic at only 10 years old.

I'm currently reading "The Arsonist's city by Hala Alyan,
Through it I'm understanding more about life in Lebanon and Syria,
Which gives me context about the current crisis in the middle East.
Now,
When I hear Israel has bombed Beirut yet again,
I understand that at a deeper level than before I read novels written by survivors of that violence and their descendants.

Just last week I reviewed "The poisonwood bible by Barbara Kingsolver,
It's just a story about a couple and their 4 daughters,
But it's set in Congo and talks about the assassination of Patrice Lumumba,
And the hand of Belgium, France and the USA in the destabilization of Congo.
From reading it I can clearly see the third hand in the current crisis in the DRC.
And from reading it,
I now understand why we have so many Congolese immigrants in Zimbabwe,
And I empathise with them.

Please read.
In a world where traveling isn't always feasible,
Reading books set in different countries
Is the next best thing.

@baba_nyenyedzi That's a very pedestrian view. October 7 was allowed to happen. If not that, some other excuse would have used to implement what has been on the cards for decades.

[S p r i n t e r @SprinterPress]

The most famous technology billionaire in Turkey, Erdogan's son-in-law and the founder and head of the "Baykar" corporation, Selçuk Bayraktar, made an interesting programmatic statement about artificial intelligence (AI):

Giant monopolies, trying to control AI technology with hegemonic methods, require enormous computing power, which would consume almost all of the energy resources available to humanity.

These ambitions resemble the pyramids built with sheer brute force, like those gigantic structures that the pharaohs erected to glorify their eternal egos.

Today, global giants are collecting all of humanity's data using hundreds of thousands of processors and gaining disproportionate power.

What we need to do is not focus on the present, but on the future, as we did in our adventure with UAVs and UASs, and achieve a completely new breakthrough by shifting the paradigm instead of following the rules set by others...[...]

Collecting data about the lives of all of humanity in the global monopolies' own data centers, whose sole purpose is to maximize profits, is a treacherous blow to the sovereignty of nations and societies.

One doesn't need to be a prophet to see what this siege will turn into tomorrow.

This is the modern world's decree of voluntary slavery.

That's why, instead of giving our data to the servers of giant global monopolies, we should implement distributed learning and processing architectures.

A joint Parliamentary committee claims the Constitution of Zimbabwe Amendment (No. 3) Bill - which includes an extension of the President’s term - enjoys overwhelming public support, with 99.46% of written submissions backing it.

Just 2,935 submissions (0.54%) opposed the Bill.

🚨The committee report says 54,231 people attended public hearings nationwide, but also says 67,688 written submissions were received during those hearings.

The committee recommends keeping the Zimbabwe Gender Commission and rejects proposals to allow traditional leaders to participate in politics, saying they must remain neutral.

The committee endorses most of the Bill’s provisions and recommends that MPs pass CAB3.
