@amenya_nelson Nelson, certainly politics is not your cup of tea, you're too elitist. In 2017, Miguna got only 0.6%. They asked for Barnabas, and they always will. Alternatives improve outcomes, but claiming “it’s over” the moment he joins is not believable.
@waluwande I'm in business too and we sell what people want not what is useful. Media primary product is attention (what keeps people watching) not truth and education.
@centregoals He deserves to be praised for his intelligence. With the benefit of hindsight, any rational person would have faked their COVID certificate.
Dear @Kenyans Trevor’s statement is not true. There was no such call from former DP Gachagua. Such a call would in any case not be worthwhile at RMS. I have asked Trevor about the remarks and he says it is ‘a mistake and I regret it’. Trevor has also told me he ‘didn’t think the remarks would be picked up.’
@Lightcasttvke Tell me why a candidate vying for a gubernatorial seat would be willing to go to war just to become a party leader. It’s to propel him into 2032 national politics. Sifuna has already been inherited even before he earns it.
@Lightcasttvke IT is Not NIS. Linda Mwananchi problem is infiltration by double-chance gamblers. They hope Sifuna has a chance, but they believe Ruto will win, or they are neutral about working with him. Theirs is a 2032 long game.
@makupa_ No evidence of insider trading. His stocks are based on the view that the shares are undervalued, and that information is publicly available. He has bought Kenya Airways shares as well, if it pays off, some will claim in retrospect that it was insider trading.
Co-op Bank and NCBA have joined other Kenyan banks cutting Pesalink charges.
Customers can now send up to Sh1,000 for free, while transfers above Sh1,000 and up to Sh999,999 cost a flat Sh20.
Long term, it might be a good thing. Political careers die at City Hall and removing him from national leadership contests is a good thing for the country.
AI is probably the biggest prisoner’s dilemma we’ve ever created. Everyone knows slowing down might be safer. But if OpenAI slows down and Anthropic doesn’t, OpenAI loses. If the US slows down and China doesn’t, the US loses. So nobody slows down.
That’s what makes this so insane. You don’t need some evil person trying to destroy the world. You just need a bunch of people making the rational decision for themselves over and over until collectively we’ve raced somewhere none of us actually wanted to go.
It’s a race to zero. Zero cost of intelligence. Zero time between thinking and doing. Maybe eventually zero need for us at all.
I resigned from Anthropic today. I spent the last three years doing pretraining research at both OpenAI and Anthropic. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing straight to self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives. More thoughts below.
@iamjoseh_ Kuna watu wengi hawaoni wanachezwa and they have recruited themselves into vigilantism. Ask yourself where the authorities have been until an election year to suddenly notice local jobs have been taken by foreigners.
