The difference between a master and a beginner is time.

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

I was clearly wrong about Anthropic. They are obviously currently the leader in AI. No company has released a model as good as Mythos/Fable and they will undoubtedly have Mythos 2 ready soon.

And I would never cut them off in a way that hurt them badly, even as a competitor. That���s not my style.

Tesla open sourced its patents and we made the Supercharger network available to all competitors, even though we could have made it a walled garden.

SpaceX launches competing satellite systems with no increase in price or use of unfair terms.

Even my worst enemies can attack me on this platform.

You can’t force clarity.
Insight needs incubation time, not pressure.

A Zimbabwean AI researcher at University of Cape Town, Simbarashe Mawere, is part of a team who have developed a new specialised LLM called MzansiLM.

The LLM was trained specifically on South Africa’s 11 official written languages including Zulu, Ndebele, Sepedi, Sotho, with strong performance in Zulu and Xhosa.

Their goal is to solve the problem of popular LLMs like ChatGPT and Deepseek being quite poor at local African languages.

MzansiLM is not a general-purpose chatbot though. It's a base model designed for developers and researchers to create applications such as text summarization, annotation, and local-language technology.

The model was open sourced and is publicly available on Hugging Face to encourage further local-language tech development. You can access it yourself if you'd like to geek out!

Jesus teaches that our effort is simply a response

To being gifted life and forgiveness

Jesus becomes the prize

And growth becomes something you desire because of the grace we have received

Compete externally and you compare.

[Vitthal @vit_bhandari]

In 2024, I interviewed at Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Uber, Adobe, Twitter, American Express, a few YC startups, an AI Safety Fellowship, and a Bengaluru startup.

I am sharing my 5 key takeaways from this experience - but before that, I am sharing how I navigated a very tricky tech job market.

This job hunt challenged my notions of tech hiring after the ups and downs of the post-COVID industry slump. I went in thinking that hiring would be different, that it would still be employee-centric. That didn't turn out to be true. The job market is NOT the same as it looks like from the outside and most people don't know how to navigate it.

This is gonna be a long 🧵. Stay till the end and I hope you will take away something from my personal learning experience (1/n)

At first I thought it was just rumors.

@RobCyubahiro The 9th Sustainable Development Goal can be achieved within 12 months, not decades, given Rwanda's access to nearly 10 rivers that can significantly enhance the water supply.

@alexis_vacilli An exceptional masterpiece.
Kemo X Zo had really outdone themselves.

The 'cake baking' rule of emotions underscores a vital truth: our emotional world is malleable.

By mastering the art of mixing and balancing our emotional ingredients, we can craft a more fulfilling and controlled emotional life. https://t.co/50dmJ8CNDr
