@ucheedwin20 Congratulations bro

[Micheal Adefioye @iam_mykelking]

Most of us can tell our phone battery percentage without looking. Ask the same people their account balance and everybody needs to open the app first

[Micheal Adefioye @iam_mykelking]

AI meeting summaries have got really good. Small problem... nobody was reading the minutes before, and nobody is reading the summary now either

[Micheal Adefioye @iam_mykelking]

Strange thing to want from software, but the AI answers I trust most are the ones that tell me which part they're guessing.

Confident and wrong costs me more than slow and honest

[Micheal Adefioye @iam_mykelking]

Buying foodstuff in bulk the day money lands, or buying small small through the month. Which one actually leaves you with more at the end?

I've heard people defend both like it's religion

[Micheal Adefioye @iam_mykelking]

Kids growing up now will never know a computer that can't explain something again, slower, a different way, as many times as they need. That's going to change how people learn more than any app

[Micheal Adefioye @iam_mykelking]

Lending money to a friend is the fastest way to find out whose memory is better, yours or theirs

[Micheal Adefioye @iam_mykelking]

People are putting "built with AI" on everything like it's a selling point. Customers don't care how it was built. They care that it still works when the network is bad

[Micheal Adefioye @iam_mykelking]

@Hey_Love05 Lol salary earners don turn celebrities this week. Everybody remembering our names till the 5th

[Micheal Adefioye @iam_mykelking]

@tumiszn_ lol and the bill will land on whoever is hiring in 2031, not the people cutting today. I keep wondering what a junior's first year even looks like now. Reviewing the AI's work with a senior sitting beside them?

[Micheal Adefioye @iam_mykelking]

@emollick Feels like it pushes everything into the brief too. If I can't steer it in the middle, the instructions have to be right before I hit enter. Wonder if the labs bring back a short version for people who actually review the work

[Micheal Adefioye @iam_mykelking]

@axiommathai The part where it found a counterexample in the published proof and then had to prove a new step is wild. Were the hundreds of errata mostly small slips or real gaps like that one?

[Micheal Adefioye @iam_mykelking]

So much business here happens in voice notes. Orders, complaints, directions, everything.

Whoever builds AI that properly understands a three minute Lagos voice note in English, Pidgin and Yoruba mixed together is going to do very well

[Micheal Adefioye @iam_mykelking]

Model prices keep dropping every few weeks. For a small business in Lagos that matters a lot.

What hasn't got any cheaper is knowing which problem is actually worth handing to it

[Micheal Adefioye @iam_mykelking]

Spending by transfer doesn't feel like spending. Counting cash out of your hand hurts small. Typing an account number and a PIN doesn't hurt at all lol

[Micheal Adefioye @iam_mykelking]

@drew_ponder Lol the numbers are exactly where it gets creative. Did you have to clean the sales export up first or does it handle it raw?

[Micheal Adefioye @iam_mykelking]

If you run a small business and hate writing the weekly report, try letting AI draft it from your rough notes. I still read every line after.

That's honestly how I found out what it's good at and where it makes things up

[Micheal Adefioye @iam_mykelking]

@huhufor Nice, that "done when" line is doing a lot of quiet work. Do you write it as a small checklist or just one sentence?

[Micheal Adefioye @iam_mykelking]

Weekend question for builders:

What's one small AI workflow you set up this year that quietly saves you time every week?

Not the flashy one. The boring one that works.

[Micheal Adefioye @iam_mykelking]

Funny how ajo still works for so many people when the savings apps don't. Somebody else is holding the money, and missing your turn means explaining yourself in front of everybody

[Micheal Adefioye @iam_mykelking]

The junior roles question keeps bothering me. If AI does the small tasks juniors used to learn on, where do the next seniors come from?

Genuinely asking people who are hiring right now

[Micheal Adefioye @iam_mykelking]

Half my timeline is talking about agent harnesses now. Memory, tools, checkpoints, something that checks the work.

Funny how the model became the easy part and everything around it became the actual job
