Nigeria’s revenue surged 49% in the first five months of the year, exceeding government projections as an overhaul of the tax system and new levies on industries including petroleum and mining boosted collections. https://t.co/c0II3HRuJL

i'm obsessed with AI DIY projects.
my favorite one right now is this broccoli farmer in hokkaido, japan using Codex to run his 100-hectare farm
this guy never studied agriculture, never inherited land, started out as a civil servant.
but he wanted his farm to run better, and instead of paying an engineering firm he couldn't afford, he just built the tools himself.
here's what he's built on his own:
> remote control of his greenhouse vents from a chat app, wired up with an esp32 board, a motor driver, and cloudflare workers
> a bot that checks each greenhouse's temperature and opens the vents when it gets too hot
> satellite crop-health data laid over a map of his own fields
> an airtable base linking his plots, tasks, materials, and sensors
> wiring diagrams of his electrical panels, generated from a photo
stuff like this used to be locked behind machinery and engineers only the big agribusinesses could pay for.
but this legend just breezed past all of it with a laptop and Codex lol

❝My advice to everyone who still has a parent is this: whether your parent is useless or not, find time to reach out to them, no matter how busy you are. Celebrate them. Call them. Make them laugh.❞

Ken Griffin went home on a Friday "fairly depressed" after watching AI agents at Citadel do work that used to take teams of PhDs in finance months to complete. Done in days.
His words: "These are not mid-tier white collar jobs. These are extraordinarily high skilled jobs being automated by agentic AI."
This is the head of one of the most successful hedge funds in history saying the people he pays seven figures to analyze markets and structure deals are being replaced by software that works in hours instead of months. Not theoretically. In his own office. Right now.
The Coatue deck we covered earlier this week called agents "the biggest unlock" in AI. Griffin just confirmed it from the buy side. The shift from copilots to agents is not a future event. It is already happening at the highest levels of finance.
“Tonight, at my direction, brave American forces and the Armed Forces of Nigeria flawlessly executed a meticulously planned and very complex mission to eliminate the most active terrorist in the world from the battlefield. Abu-Bilal al-Minuki, second in command of ISIS…” - President Trump
For too long, Africa’s resources have been extracted, the value captured elsewhere, the environmental damage left behind.
No more exploitation. No more plundering.
The people of Africa must benefit - first & most - from the resources of Africa.

Personal conviction on cheating.
As a man, once you catch her, let her face the door. A cheating wife is a ticking time bomb. You can forgive her as God forgives us but that union must end. If you continue in that marriage, you are digging your own grave, your life is hanging in a balance.
A cheating wife is unimaginably dangerous. Whether your church supports divorce or not, ONCE YOU CATCH HER, SHE MUST GO, if you love your life.
The gospel of the... If you like listen. If you don't, when the head is off, the ear follows. Good night. 🚶
