Please have hobbies in your 30s, so you don’t become overly focused on relationships, other people’s availability, or what’s missing in your life.
Run, dance, read, travel, try new things, make friends, and fall in love with your own life. There’s so much more to experience.
The way a good number of women romanticise the idea of meeting a complete stranger and marrying them within 3–6 months in the name of “men know what they want” will never sit well with me.
Not to be that person, but it’s strange. And the even crazier part is how much agency you’re willing to surrender in this whole narrative. Any random stranger can walk into your life, decide he wants to marry you within six months, and you interpret that as some grand validation of your worth. “He saw my worth, that’s why he married me so quickly.”
As opposed to questioning how strange it is that you’re willing to let someone you barely know make a lifelong commitment with you. Why is his willingness to marry you so quickly the ultimate measure of your worth? Where does your own judgment, discernment and decision-making come into all of this? Do you even like the person beyond the excitement of being chosen? So many questions, very few answers, but yeah…..it is what it is.
A Japanese man says he escaped a sinking car by remembering a tip from Detective Conan.
His car was hit and went into a river after another driver reversed near a cemetery.
For the first 20 seconds he thought he was going to die, then a scene from episode 1078 flashed through his mind.
He waited for the cabin to fill so the pressure equalized, pushed the door open, and swam out.
A nearby resident helped him onto the bank. He wrote that he “can’t thank the creator of Conan enough.”
It looks like the AI layoff boom has started to backfire.
I was just going through a Reuters investigation on Meta, and holy shit...
They drew up plans to cut some teams by as much as 60% and let AI agents do the work. THEN Zuckerberg called off the next round of layoffs hours before the first one even started.
And when you look at the numbers... they tell you why.
Engineers were pushing out 220% more code, BUT major technical and security incidents jumped 40%.
So people spent 70% more time putting out fires.
AI cranked out way more work, and humans spent way more time cleaning it up.
A different report I saw this week showed something similar.
32% of hiring managers said they brought back the exact jobs they cut for AI.
Think about how dumb that is. You fire people, pay a fortune for AI, then pay again to hire the same people back.
Look, I’m no AI bear. I use AI every single day.
It saves me a shit ton of time and I’m not going back. It’s an incredible tool.
But market forces are still market forces.
Every boom in history has been overhyped, and every CEO wanted to stand up and tell Wall Street he could do more with half the people.
Now from what I’m seeing, reality is kicking in.
It costs way more than they thought, it breaks shit, and you still need people who know what the hell they’re doing.
Even the AI companies are feeling it. Elon just cut Grok’s usage limits and admitted it costs more to run than it brings in.
I still think AI is a great bet, and I’m still buying the companies building the data centers. But you need balance, and the guys who went all in on firing everyone are learning that the hard way.
Be careful out there.
Followed a random convoy from Minna in Niger State all the way back to Abuja yesterday. When we got to Dei-dei, one of the security personnel in the Hilux gave me a thumbs up. 😂😂
The AI layoff gamble is backfiring.
Companies that rushed to replace workers with AI are now cleaning up the mess, per The Guardian.
Meta scaled back plans to cut staff and use more AI agents after employees spent growing time cleaning up the agents’ technical and security errors. It’s now rehiring managers.
Microsoft and McKinsey are limiting employee AI use as costs pile up.
Walmart workers say AI scheduling and task tools set impossible standards and generate false alerts.
The payoff isn’t showing up: 90% of executives say AI hasn’t yet boosted productivity at their companies, per an Atlanta Fed working paper.
Yet more than 112,000 US job cuts this year have cited AI, per Challenger, Gray & Christmas.
