You know the wild thing about the banditry and killings in Northern Nigeria?

ITS HEAVILY UNDER-REPORTED

[. @UcheKl]

And CAF banned them for missing the game they were heading to after they were shot and some of them killed.

Africans institutions have always been plagued by bad leadership.

[Conor @jconorgrogan]

TLDR:
1. Declare AI too dangerous for ordinary competition so you propose a regulatory regime where only the largest incumbents can survive
2. Warn about labor displacement while selling the product to executives as a labor-displacement tool
3. Warn about state overreach while asking the state to license and gatekeep frontier models
4. Warn about corporate power while sketching a corporate-state cartel over compute, release, security, export controls, and deployment

No one wants regulatory capture as much as Amodei.

Today I'm publishing a new essay, Policy on the AI Exponential. AI is progressing extremely fast—much faster than the policy process was built to handle. The essay lays out where I think the technology is now, and the action needed to close the gap: https://t.co/Lh6PWae178

@DarioAmodei As usual, fear mongering and hyper fear mongering

[Xin Eric Wang @xwang_lk]

If you really think about it, despite being mocked as “ClosedAI,” OpenAI has contributed enormously to the field: GPT, GPT-2, GPT-3, CLIP, the ChatGPT paper, the GPT-4 Technical Report, the Sora technical blog, and even open-sourced Codex.

Anthropic, meanwhile, has contributed far less to the public research ecosystem while increasingly promoting fear-based narratives and restricting access through heavy gatekeeping.

The world I least want to live in is one where the future of AI is controlled by companies that prioritize secrecy, gated access, and centralized control over openness, reproducibility, and scientific progress.

This is what the UK spyware proposal means.

There must be government spyware on every mobile device. It shall watch everything that happens, including always watching the screen, looking for things the government disapproves of.

When anything is flagged by the software as something the government doesn't like, the software must block it from being sent or displayed (in realtime).

The user of the device must not be able to shut this watching and blocking off. The only way to shut it off would be to ask the government or its proxies to do so for you, at their discretion.

Therefore the whole device must be locked down. Administrator rights and the decision of what software or operating system to run or not to run must be taken from the owner/user and handed to the government and its proxies.

Apple and Google are themselves working hard to lock down the devices they are involved in to shut out competition and establish a duopoly.

The UK government says it is "working closely" with Apple and Google and currently they synchronise and coordinate their communication on this subject.

The UK government is now proposing to mandate what would otherwise be illegal anti-competitive practices.

The scary part about Anthorpic's Fable nerf is not that it refuses to answer biology or cryptography. It's that it foreshadows what's coming. A world where a couple companies decide what you can and cannot do. They're building a new ruling class and you're not in it...

[iknowatchamacallit @justichidi]

NDC is a such joke. A clusterfuck of a party. No respect for the thing that makes them the main opposition to APC in 2027.

Omo, whatever man.

[iknowatchamacallit @justichidi]

dafuq rubbish is this one saying.

No, completely different, Theo was pure vitriol, portrayed him as a traitor, a divisive figure, a criminal and all that.

That's outside calling Obi's main base, his passionate supporters terrorists, idiots, criminals, etc.

[Cross˚ @Elkrosmediahub]

If you are going to be angry because NDC made Theo (that has insulted Peter Obi in the past) the party’s media Director. Then you should maintain same energy towards fact that after saying he was never going to step down and be PO’s running mate in 2023, because he is a PhD holder and Obi is a mere trader, Kwankwaso is today his running mate.

We need intentional people on board if we are going to fight the leading party to a win.

[KWEKU THE HUSTLER @Urchilla01]

On the other hand, while I understand the party has to reward its long-term members, I don't see how it makes any sense to appoint someone as director of new media who has said such horrible things in the past about your presidential candidate.

These are not just posts made merely to demarket a person; these are very vile and image damaging posts.

So he doesn't mind working with IPOB members now? Members of a proscribed terrorist group? Is this what @NigeriaNDCHQ stands for?

[NEFERTITI @firstladyship]

To the @NigeriaNDCHQ

I have been silent on your internal affairs I decided to give you the benefit of the doubt.

But you’ve taken much for granted. Far too much! My silence ends now! Theo Abu & Brian Dennis are misfits. There are far more decent Nigerians out there who can run your media.

Appointing the duo already puts you at the short end of the stick. You leave yourselves exposed to attacks from every quarter.

I am no politician; what I am is Obidient—an ardent supporter, no less. I see your disdain for My People. Your war against us is far from subtle. Your handwriting is clear enough for all to read. I see you aren’t out to win minds & hearts; you are out for vendetta. Perhaps to settle scores you made up in your heads.

Who appoints political jobbers to run their Media? Boys without a modicum of reputation. Whose minds can those boys change? Almost everyone has them on a blocked list. They are pariahs as far Political Twitter is concerned.

Both cannot win their polling units. They are errand boys to Abuja politicians; they have zero electoral values. To add salt to injury, both are anti-Peter Obi. The NDC is unthinking & unyielding, brash even! I can’t believe what my eyes have seen. I have been holding back. I had hoped to see a sharp departure from others.

But I was wrong, SO WRONG! So I take back all the reviews. You’ve shown me who you are, & I believe you! Who appoints notorious charlatans @TheoAbuAgada & @XBrianDennis to head their Media Communications Department?

It’s obvious the NDC as a party is out to shut the Obidients out. It’s obvious they are out of touch with the realities out there on the streets.

Perhaps, you’ve overestimated yourselves?

Both boys are on my blocked list. I have them nestled in there since 2023. Worse still, your party is enmeshed in allegations of corruption across almost all 36 states & the FCT.

What kind of party are you running? Are you that hungry? Are you that cheap? Your mess is rubbing off on upstanding citizens like us.

Each time you mess up, Peter Obi is the one that bears much of the brunt. He is now in the line of fire. Your house is on fire. How many fires are you going to put out? I am drama free, but I don’t like what I hate. I am opinionated, I have strong opinions. If others have chosen to be silent, I WON’T! I hate injustice of any kind!

I have never asked anyone for anything, NEVER!

As far as Twitter goes, I have no rap sheet. I have my own money. YES! I am no political jobber. I have never been paid to tweet, NEVER!

I am not on anyone’s payroll. Peter Obi remains the only presidential candidate I have ever campaigned for, at least since 2017. I DO IT FREE OF CHARGE! And yet, I’ve never met him.

We have no relationship, no connection whatsoever. He doesn’t have any of my contacts, except perhaps Twitter (otherwise X).

For a party that is supposed to be different from others, the NDC is already being accused of selling its tickets to the highest bidders.

How do you reconcile that with your body language & what you preach? You are in the eye of the storm. Sadly, you don’t know that!

I did not build my reputation for you to come & tarnish it. I have a reputation to protect. I will call a spade what it is. The NDC must come clean & clear their name. Who got what? Who paid who? I won’t be part of what I criticize.

You know me to be unhinged. I was mad long before I was born. I may be wrong, but I don’t think you are out to win the 2027 election.

You are playing the long game—to arrive at a predetermined outcome. I won’t tell Seriake Dickson what to do. But I will do what I’m supposed to do! What I’m compelled to do!

Morals & values must return in Nigeria. We must restore the throne of good men.

You have time to course correct; if you so wish. At the end of the day, I will leave you with no doubt whatsoever. My name is Nefertiti, I remain your First Lady. I will say no more! ✌️

[iknowatchamacallit @justichidi]

@TheoAbuAgada Don't be a fucking idiot, resign from that NDC role, you shouldn't be trying to make Obi succeed in his plan to be president, go support Atiku or Tinubu or something,

[iknowatchamacallit @justichidi]

@XBrianDennis @IfeanyiDeclan @Bishophate See the retard that's handling media for NDC boasting about blocking obidients he pretends to represent, fucking mole

[iknowatchamacallit @justichidi]

@XBrianDennis Obidients don't matter, Dickson is who matters. Nice one.

[iknowatchamacallit @justichidi]

Only need I can see for open looping workflows like this is for learning, like looking for unknown failure modes, finding risky areas, etc.

For changes, work inside a closed loop if that is what they call it now because its actually so last year

[iknowatchamacallit @justichidi]

Don't loop

Goal should be to get into a setting that lets you develop with a closed loop setup, otherwise you are working with an expensive AI slop machine

Think risk tiering, context selection, budget limits, stop conditions, proof obligations, rollback, manual triggers, etc

Basically, what is described in the article is too loose, too autonomous, and lacks the rigorous guardrails required for actual software engineering and how teams work, even small teams

[iknowatchamacallit @justichidi]

@addyosmani "Now you build a small system that finds the work, hands it out, checks it, writes down what is done and then decides the next thing, and you let that system poke the agents instead of you."

If you have to do this, you have a project management problem.
