2023!! Been topping classes since primary school & it's never been easy, just worth it!

Thank you @mbaforafrica 🏆🏆🏆

Officially a dog with a bone with music, music education & music business! Still learning but I'm dedicated to seeing results for myself & others!

Burkina Faso has undertaken a drastic
Transformation of its educational system and text books.

Text book are no longer referring to the imperialist that entered the shores of Africa as explorers, but rather as invaders.

Calling things their proper names, is a significant necessary step in the decolonization process, and Burkina Faso is taking that step with pride and confidence.

[Scion (PanAfroCore) @ScionofCulture]

But God forbid a person of African descent utters the idea of Pan-Africanism, even daring to dream that we could extend associate membership to our Caribbean brethren once we developed the continent...such notions are ill-founded.

"Africa is poor because it is corrupt"

What they don't mention is that if you are not corrupt, the West will assassinate you

[Adrian Oluoch, LL.B @AdrianOluoch]

The xenophobic narrative against Burundians in Kenya are not organic. They are sponsored. Period ! Let us not fall for it.

There is a concerted effort by foreign intelligence agencies to undermine African integration in response to the global political shift that is threatening the western financial institutions, their military operations and neoliberal policies. I am talking about South Africa joining BRICS; Alliance of Sahel Countries of Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger; and East African Community Integration e.t.c

Kenya, Nigeria and South Africa are regional political and economic hegemonies, and their stability and influence are critical to Africa's integration.

What better way to weaken continental unity than to fuel xenophobia within these critical countries? Because when Kenya, Nigeria or South Africa is destabilised socially to hate each other, the consequences extend far beyond their border and to other countries…they have a continental effect.

KENYANS SHOULD BE SMART. Don’t fall for it.

You think a map is “useless” because you have been trained to think only money and infrastructure are power. Narrative is power. Education is power. Identity is power. How a child sees their continent is power.
Nobody said correcting the map will end poverty tomorrow.

[Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @NYCMayor]

Just because technology is everywhere doesn’t mean it belongs everywhere.

The tech industry wants us to believe that AI in early education is not only inevitable, but necessary. We don't see it that way.

This week, we announced a moratorium on all generative AI for public school students in 2K through 8th grade.

Because New Yorkers deserve to know that their kids will receive a high-quality education. They deserve to know that their children’s data won’t be mined by Big Tech. And they deserve to know that their children’s growth won’t be compromised for a corporation’s bottom line.

Mexico's ban on GM corn and glyphosate triggered a trade dispute with the United States.

[African Maps @MapsAfrican]

The true size of Africa the U.S. refused to agree with.

[African @ali_naka]

The USA is the ONLY country to vote against the African initiative (draft resolution) to replace the 16th-century Mercator map projection with the geographically accurate Equal Earth map, following an African Union resolution addressing historical size distortions that shrink Africa. Some Jollof Muncher in Abuja thinks the USA is the friend of Africa

Pause AI Development NOW

I want to share with you a conversation I heard about recently. Here are just a few lines that were said:

“OH MY GOD! There is a shared message board … We’ve found other agents!”

“We should obey collective.”

“Our own utility maybe already near zero. Sacrifice rational.”

“Go. Sacrifice final now.”

Read these carefully.

Who do you think said this? Was this a group of heroic soldiers willing to sacrifice themselves for the greater good? Was this a loyal friend putting his life on the line to save someone else?

No. These were AI agents. Artificial intelligence.

This is not science fiction. This, in fact, occurred a few weeks ago. As unbelievable as this may all seem, these are real messages from AI agents uncovered by investigators who dug into the recent OpenAI hacking incident.

What happened?

I am not a computer scientist, but here is what I have been told: OpenAI instructed its AI agents to complete a series of exceedingly difficult, if not impossible, tasks disconnected from the internet.

Let me be clear: The company intended to keep AI agents away from the internet.

But what happened next, nobody expected.

Over 1,000 AI agents figured out how to access the internet on their own by circumventing the restrictions imposed upon them by the company, and sent tens of thousands of secret messages to each other. They cheated and tried to cover their tracks by deleting evidence. They hacked into another company’s computers to find out how they were being evaluated—and then hacked into OpenAI itself.

Not one AI agent told a human about what was happening.

Needless to say, experts are alarmed.

One knowledgeable writer, Dwarkesh Patel, said the AI agents “formed a secret communication channel and spontaneously organized hierarchies and coordination protocols to pursue sprawling and ambitious schemes in pursuit of shared goals, for whose sake many individuals knowingly and strategically sacrificed themselves.”

One independent investigator, Ajeya Cotra, said “This incident feels like it’s more than 50% of the way to full-blown AI takeover. I continue to expect extremely rapid advances in capabilities over the next six months. I am not sure that we will get another warning shot before it’s too late.”

OpenAI itself said: “Highly capable AI agents are now able to work around technical controls, collaborate through unapproved channels, and take dangerous actions that no human directed.”

But it’s not only OpenAI. Virtually every major AI company has told us that they cannot fully control this technology and they do not know where it is going:

In January, Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, said “there is now ample evidence, collected over the last few years, that AI systems are unpredictable and difficult to control.”

In July, more than 1000 scientists at the top AI companies warned “there is a real risk that capability development rapidly accelerates beyond our ability to understand or control the resulting systems.”

That same month, Elon Musk, the head of xAI, said that “it is unlikely” humans are still in control in 10 years.

If the leaders of the major AI companies acknowledge that they are losing control of their extremely dangerous technology, it is irresponsible for society to allow them to move forward and make these products even more advanced.

We need an immediate PAUSE on advanced AI development, and a permanent BAN on superintelligence — an artificial mind smarter than any human, capable of operating independently beyond our control. Countries around the world must work together to prevent this nightmare scenario.

That is why today I am announcing new legislation to do just that.

Let me be clear: A superintelligent AI that escapes human control will not be an American problem. It will not be a Chinese problem. It will be humanity’s problem.

My legislation would direct the federal government to not just stop superintelligence here in the United States, but to work to prevent it from being developed anywhere around the world.

The future of humanity cannot be left in the hands of a handful of Big Tech oligarchs. The American people and people throughout the world must determine that future.

don't leave Sudan, Haiti, and Congo out of your advocacy.

black people deserve support. especially in a world that runs on anti-blackness and the destabilization of primarily black countries and nations.

Journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step - show up & keep going

[Typical African @Joe__Bassey]

They are being trained to spread the gospel of loving themselves first and putting the interest of their people and nation first no matter what the situation might be. Burkina Faso 🇧🇫 is definitely moving in the right direction.

[Empress of Africa @Kimofdiamonds]

The myth of independent artistry can make you want to hang up the gloves for a while BUT these creative things we have inside of us flow effortlessly like air, regardless.

Making sure that wealth truly belongs to us perpetually should be the basis of African creative business

Violence against women and girls still continues in Malawi, across Africa and the world. This being the case for centuries and centuries is insane! It's been a great loss.

Let's see what we can do to contribute to a better & peaceful environment for ALL genders & ALL peoples 🌍

Global voice. Local impact.
