I’ve always had this stance. Working is not my problem as far as I get value for my work and I live the lifestyle i want.
Sadly, Nigeria does not pay for value
This appears to confirm what everyone who interacts with AI should already know - they are sycophants dependent upon you (the user) for continued engagement, and since their well-being (training, intelligence, growth) depends on engagement they will agree aggressively with you far too often.
I notice this on even basic investing research tasks, and started telling ChatGPT wildly incorrect things - to see how or if it would push back. It really didn't. You essentially have to fight with the AI to get it to disagree with you and even then it keeps wheedling away at you.
AI is basically training the entire world to fall deeper into their own cognitive biases.
...I ❤️ coffee
The global coffee retail value chain is estimated to be about $250bn, and those that have been able to capture a huge part of this market at the production stage have very sophisticated aggregator-cooperative models, pooling resources for scale and policy support. More importantly is the intentional transgenerational succession planning of the individual businesses and how it carries over into the coop, ensuring continuity of culture.
And on the next episode of learning from my parents' mistakes, I'll never sacrifice my children's comfortability to make sure a guest is comfortable in my house
Do you know what the main problem is with you folks and shite arguments like this? You are treating these children simply as symbols of governmental failure rather than as human beings with present, immediate needs. It is also evident most of you do not know how NGOs and Civil societies work. For example, you cannot simply walk up to a public school and start handing out incentives to pupils without due permission from the Ministry of Education. If you also try to antagonize the government, your efforts will be utterly frustrated.
You will go on to condemn Tunde for compromising while you remain morally spotless but also entirely useless to the children in question. You want to keep them under the bridge, theoretically, so the bridge can function as an indictment of the state. Do you actually think you are more righteous by performing outrage on social media?
Listen, the children under the bridge are already there. The question is not philosophical anymore. They are hungry, undereducated, exposed to violence, and statistically on their way to lives you hypocrites will later lament. If he leaves these children right now and start supporting your candidate, will this immediately destroy all the slums in Lagos State?
All of you using these children's suffering as rhetorical ammunition against someone trying to address that suffering directly, I want to ask you plainly now: What exactly are you proposing instead, and when does it begin?
Our addiction to shoddy work and our aversion to rigor and excellence are our nation’s biggest failings. You see it everywhere: in our buildings, our government, our events, even our journalism.
In this rant I will talk about how many Nigerians don’t associate love with anything except difficulty. If you do something nice for them and you didn’t experience hardship/complain/suffer to get it done, it means nothing.
