@TimKalyegira Agreed. And it pains. i personally wish we embrace Peer-to-peer technologies to transform mobilising Africa citizens. 1. City-scale wifi/whatever peer to peer communication networks
2. Crypto blockchain wallets of currencies we can agree to receive and pay

A lot of people have asked me to compare the examination systems in the #USA and #Uganda, and have asked which is superior. I'm going to focus on #HigherEd rather than primary/secondary, since that's my field. 1/15

@TimKalyegira And i can imagine the water consumption as well. What doest that say about billion dollar Microsoft not willing to invest in needed solar power, the cheapest source of energy, to power needed data centers?

"If students can generate [AI] essays, then the essay can no longer be the primary proof of learning...If every student has access to explanation, translation, and summarization, then education must move beyond the production of answers."

The African continent doesn’t need more entrepreneurs. It’s full of them.

What it needs is a specific class of entrepreneurs called industrialists: business people who build value-adding firms in export-oriented job creating sectors, not rent capture.

It's hard for me to explain to those outside #Uganda just how irritated the Ugandans are to be lumped in with DRC for the #Ebola epidemic. As of this writing, there have been hundreds of deaths and over 1000 cases in Congo, whereas Uganda has had only 9 cases -- three Congolese, four medical workers who treated them, one driver who drove them, and one other known contact. Only one person has died in Uganda, a Congolese.

So when WHO and Al Jazeera talks about the Ebola epidemic in "Congo and Uganda," it's like saying because there are wildfires in California, you should cancel a trip to the Grand Canyon because some Californians lit a campfire there. Yes, it is possible it *could* spread and you have to be vigilant, but these two situations are nowhere near the same magnitude.

As of this writing, the only Ugandan death has been the tourism industry.

@ponton_alex Yooo!!!

CEOs are quietly realizing the AI replacement plan has a problem.
Two problems, actually.

One: the token costs for running AI agents are now exceeding what they were paying the employees they fired.

Two: when the tokens run out, the AI stops. Just stops. No continuity. No workaround. Just a spinning wheel where your workforce used to be.

You fired humans to save money and bought a subscription that bills you into a corner.

The employees you let go knew what to do when things broke.
The AI just invoices you for the outage.

And then there’s the permission problem nobody wants to talk about.

To do its job, the AI agent needs access. Full access. Your systems, your patents, your contracts, your future plans. Everything you spent years building, handed over to a process that has no loyalty, no discretion, and no skin in the game.

You didn’t hire a replacement.
You gave a stranger with no soul the keys to everything you own.

Enjoy.

Classic Javon's paradox??

[Ricardo @Ric_RTP]

Microsoft just banned its own engineers from using AI.

The tool was literally costing MORE than the humans it was supposed to replace.

They lied to you about AI adoption and now the whole narrative is blowing up:

Microsoft gave thousands of engineers access to Claude Code six months ago and encouraged them to use it.

Engineers loved it and adoption exploded. But then the invoices arrived.

Token-based pricing means every query, every code review, every debugging session costs money. At scale across 100,000 engineers, the numbers became so large that Microsoft issued an internal order to cancel nearly all Claude Code licenses by end of June and force everyone onto their own cheaper tool instead.

The company that invested $5 billion in Anthropic just told its own people to stop using Anthropic's product because it costs too much.

Uber's story is even worse...

Their CTO Praveen Neppalli Naga told The Information that the budget he planned for the full year was "blown away already" by April.

Uber had rolled out Claude Code in December 2025. By March, 84% of their 5,000 engineers were using it with 70% of all committed code coming from AI systems.

Heavy users were burning $500 to $2,000 per month each. Naga himself spent $1,200 in a single two-hour demo session.

The company had even built internal leaderboards ranking engineers by how much AI they used. They literally gamified the spending and then ran out of money.

Now look at what Nvidia's own VP of applied deep learning Bryan Catanzaro said to Axios last month. Direct quote:

"For my team, the cost of compute is far beyond the costs of the employees."

This is a VP at the company that SELLS the chips saying that using AI is more expensive than paying humans.

Think about what this means for the entire AI narrative.

Every CEO on every earnings call for the past two years has said the same thing:

AI will make us more efficient, reduce headcount, and cut costs.

The stock market rewarded every company that said it.

Fired workers, stock goes up. Announced AI adoption, stock goes up.

But the actual companies deploying AI at scale are discovering the math doesn't work. The MORE employees use AI, the HIGHER the bill.

Goldman Sachs forecasts a 24x increase in token consumption by 2030 as companies adopt AI agents. Gartner just published a report showing that even though individual token prices will drop 90% by 2030, total enterprise AI costs will go UP because agents consume exponentially more tokens per task than basic tools.

Meta built an internal dashboard called "Claudeonomics" to track which employees use the most AI. Amazon started pushing engineers to "tokenmaxx," their internal term for consuming as many AI tokens as possible.

Both companies are spending hundreds of billions on AI infrastructure this year alone.

And Microsoft, the company that bet its entire future on AI, just told 100,000 engineers to stop using the tool they liked best because the per-token bills got out of control.

The companies building AI are telling investors it saves money. The companies using AI are finding out it costs more than the humans it was supposed to replace. And even the company that makes the chips just admitted it through its own VP.

This is the gap nobody on Wall Street is pricing in.

$725 billion in AI infrastructure spending this year across Big Tech. And the first companies to actually deploy these tools at scale are already pulling back because the economics don't work.

What do you think?

Gentlemen and ladies in Kampala, look up into the western sky this evening. You will see two bright, star-like lights standing almost in line. They are not stars. They are planets. Stars twinkle. Planets usually shine with a steadier light. That is one simple way to tell them apart.

The brighter lower one is Venus. The upper one is Jupiter. For once, Kampala has given us a free astronomy lesson without asking for school fees.

But beyond astronomy, the ancients would have read this sky with deeper eyes. Venus was the planet of beauty, desire, attraction, seduction, emotion, and disruption. In myth, she could inspire love, confuse kings, awaken ambition, and disturb the settled order of power. Jupiter, on the other hand, was associated with rulership, wisdom, justice, expansion, abundance, authority, and divine order.

So when Venus appears with Jupiter, the symbolic reading is powerful. It speaks of a season of life, power, uncertainty, ambition, hope, and transition. It hints at emotional shifts, political intrigue, rising passions, fresh alliances, and the possible rise of new principalities. Whether you take this as astrology, mythology, poetry, or simple cosmic theatre, the sky is offering Kampala a beautiful story tonight.

And before you laugh too quickly, remember that the moon, another celestial body, pulls on the oceans and helps shape the tides. If gravity and celestial cycles can move oceans, influence seasons, migration patterns, sleep rhythms, and animal behavior, then perhaps human beings are not as separate from cosmic rhythms as modern arrogance wants us to believe.

So step outside calmly. Look west. Say hello to Venus and Jupiter. Tell the universe what you truly desire.

And while you are there, wish me blessings and wealth, because when I rise, I intend to build things that will feed many.
