There was ultra processed food…

Now we have ultra processed information …

Leading to ultra processed minds.

AI and is gradually edging out humanity one chat at a time.

[Jack Wiz @iamjackwiz]

My biggest challenge right now: balancing building vs marketing.

[Mulutu Jackson @mulutu]

Is AI taking away the value of struggle? The very thing that helps humanity to grow, especially intellectually?

[Mulutu Jackson @mulutu]

Ai is not a differentiator - simply ‘having AI’ does not set a company apart.

The differentiator is how AI is applied and used, that is :

- Tuning AI for specific industries e.g. healthcare or education etc
- Embedding AI is business workflows e.g. enhancing customer experience and engagement
- Unique data insights (banking, research etc)

The sooner you realize that the world doesn't belong to high-intelligent people and IQ is a form of cope

It all clicks faster

The world belongs to high energy/risk takers that are not afraid to expose themselves in uncomfortable positions

This is becoming more obvious each day

The real tax is society forcing otherwise productive people to pay attention to politics.

If an investment accelerates growth, make it.

Go into debt if you have to.

Hype vs utility; utility wins always (in tech).

Over 15 years ago, I launched https://t.co/VkCmfLdknp—an online marketplace connecting Kenyan buyers and sellers.

The initial buzz was electric:

Despite the buzz, reality hit hard.

Navigating a still-growing tech & e-commerce scene was tougher than I’d imagined. Five years later—broke and burned out—I had to shut it down.

The arrival of big players like Jumia, Mocality, and BuynSell squeezed us out of the market. We could not compete on many fronts—technology, distribution, scalability, strategy...

Failure isn’t final—it's a masterclass. The lessons learned from Maduqa fueled smarter decisions, reminding me that progress often rises from the ashes of bold beginnings.

If a calculated risk can change your trajectory, take it.

Go into debt if you have to.

[Paul Graham @paulg]

A friend who's a former British military officer told me that when he was training soldiers in jungle warfare they were taught that if they got lost in the jungle, the first thing they should do was to brew a cup of tea and think about what to do next.

Overreliance on AI-generated suggestions can limit human creativity. We might lean too much on machine output instead of exploring our unique perspectives. Use AI as a thought partner, not a crutch—blend human intuition with AI insights for truly innovative results.
