a 9-5 is basically living at work and sleeping at home

[Mhlongo da Herbalist 🍃 @Qokani]

Africans with highest Western education with zero problackness and lacking basic indigenous knowledge. 😩

[MiCHAEL_A @mykhails]

Nothing. Just the usual looting and trashing of property.

[KUTT THROAT⚔️ @Kgothatsoxo]

So what’s going to happen on the 30th if people don’t go back to their country?

[MiCHAEL_A @mykhails]

@BWGovernment @BDCLimited The OLD CITY has terrible potholes and non working street lights.

[MiCHAEL_A @mykhails]

@norinkicom @WOOLWORTHS_SA Never buy shoes at Woolworths.

[MiCHAEL_A @mykhails]

@Slax7529 Unfortunately yes. You can deny a citizen entry into their own country

[MiCHAEL_A @mykhails]

[MiCHAEL_A @mykhails]

Do you miss the days when you could just turn something on and it would work without needing an account setup, app download, QR code, or a ‘sign in to continue’?

[Finance & economics @Ndala_Momane]

South Korea passed a supplementary budget to support its citizens against high fuel prices.

South Africa via its central banks increase rates to make its citizens even more poorer.

Without intellectual pretence by SA educated, none of the nonsense would happen. Qha simuncu!

[MiCHAEL_A @mykhails]

A taxi boss can own 100 taxis mos🤷🏿‍♂️

[sandile swana @sandileswana]

If I am a capable native or indigenous South African, can I own 30 spaza shops in Soweto as part of the planned indigenisation program? Can I top that with 10 in Daveyton and 15 in Vosloorus as I have capacity and infrastructure to carry that?

[MiCHAEL_A @mykhails]

He used to cook motepa for us every morning before school 😭😂

[Muna @Munalozy]

Be honest, have you eaten food cooked by your father?

[MiCHAEL_A @mykhails]

@GaoneJuju @mr_snazz @becko_titaano They get that priority where?

[MiCHAEL_A @mykhails]

@WSJ Lazy ass academics who don’t want to do their job and teach.

[MiCHAEL_A @mykhails]

@Mr_LiverpoolX South Africa shares the largest border with Botswana, and there’s no Botswana problem in SA. So how much problem will the wall solve since Nigerians, Somalis and Chinese don’t come through that border?🤷🏿‍♂️

[The Green Lantern 💚 🇿🇦 @Mr_LiverpoolX]

Guys, if we can raise R500 000 for a coffee machine, can't we raise R100 million for a border wall for South Africa since the government doesn't want to do it? I'm sure some private donors will come too. We hire those men who wanted to guard the border plus a reputable company🤔

[MiCHAEL_A @mykhails]

Academics in the humanities are very dumb. 🤦🏿‍♂️

[Brandon Smith @brandon_d_smith]

I’ve been playing with ChatGPT and Claude every once in awhile as I write, not for my own sake or to apply to my work, but to understand it better given its proliferation among students and others.

And I have to say.

It’s worse than you think.

Every story you hear about making up quotes and sources, not being able to adjudicate good from bad research, writing in a reductive and generic idiom, “apologizing” for doing shabby work instead of doing it right the first time, etc. is not a bug but a feature.

As I keep telling students, your attempts at using it even “for research” is actually making your work worse. And it’s very best, it’s a supercharged Google, which isn’t saying much. An AI-produced paper, even with the best intentions and prompts, is C-level at best when compared to my expectations.

If you sneak it by me, shame on you. And maybe shame on me a little too.

Of course, the deeper issue is it’s robbing you of creative discovery, hard-won knowledge, and the ability to articulate thoughts—all sorely needed skills in ministry.

It just ain’t worth it.

[MiCHAEL_A @mykhails]

@brandon_d_smith That’s because you clearly don’t know what you’re doing hence you’re just playing with it and getting those mediocre outputs. Garbage in, garbage out 🤷🏿‍♂️
