This whole Obi/Tinubu matter may look like tribalism on the surface, but is actually a battle between good & evil people.

People tend to support those they see as an extension of themselves.

When you encounter a Tinubu supporter you actually need be wary/guarded. Like fr.

Researchers proved AI has deleted every reason universities exist.

Harvard University ran a controlled experiment pitting a custom AI against their own top-tier classrooms.

And the results are going to collapse the higher education bubble.

They took 194 undergraduates and split them up.

One group learned physics in one of Harvard’s best hands-on, active-learning physical classrooms. Group work. Instructor support. The premium university experience.

The other group went home and learned the exact same material with an AI tutor.

The AI didn't just win. It embarrassed the institution.

Students using the AI learned more than twice as much as the students in the elite Harvard classroom.

They scored 30% higher on the final assessment.

And they did it in less time.

Let that sink in.

A piece of software sitting on a laptop outperformed a world-class faculty in one of the most elite learning environments on Earth.

Universities have always justified their exorbitant tuition with two things: access to elite knowledge and the physical classroom experience.

This study just proved both of those moats are gone.

When software can teach you complex physics twice as well as a $60,000-a-year institution, the math of higher education breaks permanently.

The AI didn't just give the students answers. It used strict pedagogical guardrails. It guided. It questioned. It forced the students to do the cognitive work.

It offered perfect, one-to-one tutoring, personalized to the exact moment a student misunderstood a concept.

That level of attention is mathematically impossible to scale in a physical lecture hall.

For a thousand years, the university was the only place to get a premium education.

Now, it’s the bottleneck.

If AI can double your learning speed for a fraction of the cost, what exactly are students taking on decades of debt to pay for?

@owolabi_fareed @MDApieA2 @ikhanvbode One day you’ll learn that authoritarianism and nationalism aren’t opposites. An authoritarian can be a nationalist, just as a nationalist can be a thief. Labels matter less than character and purpose, and Nigeria needs rn the right combination of nationalism and authority.

[os @os931003]

@owolabi_fareed @MDApieA2 @ikhanvbode And how do you want to get the “better institutions”? By continuing to fool yourself with democracy? Lol. The system has been captured by kleptocrats since time immemorial.

Only a dictatorial nationalist can recapture it back. There is no other way.

Brutal but it’s the only way.

Nigeria needs a ruthless dictator who would cling to power for the next 20 years for a complete overhaul of the nation. Build it brick by brick, reengineer even human beings and their thinking. There’s just too much work to do.

[Andrew Torba @BasedTorba]

A lot of people are in for a rude awakening over the next few years.

Many people mistakenly still believe that AI is still just a novelty chat toy or a new type of Google search. Those of us on the frontlines are seeing what is possible and where things are going. You need to adapt. I beg you: please do not allow your ego to get in the way. Do not make your vocation your central identity. Things are going to change radically and quickly.

God gave you talents. You have a responsibility to cultivate them. AI doesn't replace your calling, your discernment, or your willingness to work. When used well AI can help you apply your gifts at a scale that was previously out of reach, but only if you don't let your ego get in the way and remain stuck in the past.

A small business can accomplish more without a massive budget. A parent can spend less time on busywork and more time with the children. Someone with an idea can build what they once could only imagine.

You don’t need to worship the technology, but you also don’t need to fear it either. You need to understand it and put it to work in service of things that matter.

Be humble enough to learn.

Be disciplined enough to practice.

The promise and vision that we have for AI is to get more of your life back and do something worthy with it.

Lean into that.

Today we announced the Claude-led discovery of a molecular machine that we suspect could represent a new gene editing mechanism. Its precise function, biotechnological utility (if any), or level of significance is not yet clear, but at minimum it is work I would have been proud to do as a PhD student. The work was done mostly, though not entirely, by Claude: our life sciences team suggested a broad area of research, Claude read through the literature and a bunch of genome data and discovered something interesting, then Claude proposed experiments to verify the discovery and our team carried them out.

It’s easy to dismiss this as a one-off or curiosity, but we’ve repeatedly seen a pattern where AI performance in new intellectual domains goes from weak to superhuman in a matter of a few years. In 2023 models struggled to do math at the level of an average high-school student. In 2024 they started to do well on math competitions for the best high-schoolers in the country, in 2025 they started to solve minor open problems, in early 2026 more significant open problems, and in late 2026 they are beginning to solve the top few open problems in all of mathematics. We believe AI for biology is on a similar exponential trend.

The main difference between biology and mathematics, of course, is that math can be done purely theoretically, while biology requires experimentation. Some have used this to draw the conclusion that AI’s utility in biology will be limited. We think this is wrong. As we’ve demonstrated today, humans can collaborate with AI to perform the experiments, validate key results in a few weeks and, if necessary, work with the AI to iterate on what they find. Eventually it may even be possible for Claude itself to safely perform the experiments by autonomously controlling lab equipment, with appropriate safeguards in place, but we aren’t doing that today (our lab is also a BSL1/BSL2 facility that doesn't handle materials dangerous to humans).

More broadly, biomedical advancement has many stages — from fundamental biology discoveries, to translational research, to drug discovery, clinical trials, and finally the actual delivery of medicines and health care to patients. We are also interested in these later stages, but even simply accelerating the first stage of fundamental biological discoveries has the potential to speed up and broaden the entire pipeline. Improving our understanding of biology and sharpening biologists’ tools can drive forward all of the later stages, for example by identifying new drug targets, finding new therapeutic modalities, allowing for more precise measurement, and speeding up the experimental loop which itself further accelerates our understanding of biology. This will not in itself speed up clinical trial times, but if it succeeds it could greatly increase the number of promising candidates that go into the pipeline — an increase in throughput even though latency remains.

In Machines of Loving Grace, I wrote about AI’s potential to “cure most diseases in 5-10 years” — a goal that sounds impossible, but one I believe is just barely possible if AI is applied to every stage of the pipeline. The first step is showing that AI can first help with, and then drive, biological discoveries.

Claude’s discovery is the latest in a line of related prior work that goes back decades, beginning with systems like CRISPR, and continuing with discoveries like the bridge recombinase and VIPR in the past few years. Recently, there has been heightened interest in systems based on reverse transcriptase (RT) enzymes, the enzyme underlying the system Claude identified. And most recently, a Stanford team working independently described a novel RT system with an associated non-coding array that is in some ways similar to the one Claude found, though they are distinct systems that evolved independently from each other. I believe that we’re at the very beginning of finding such systems and developing them into powerful tools for biotechnology.

I’m proud of the resources Anthropic has invested in accelerating the public benefits of AI through the life sciences, and we’re aiming both to grow our life sciences team and to work with other scientists to extend this approach to a broad range of problems. If you have a proposal for a research collaboration or are interested in joining our life sciences team, please reach out.

@Odogwu_Nomso @ChuksEricE Tribe is a small part of it. It’s mostly systemic dysfunction.

If Obi started playing the normal stealing/sharing money games the old cabals play today, this hatred will transform to love overnight and these idi*ts will start chanting Obi’s name all over the street.

[os @os931003]

@VasalinaX2 @ChuksEricE Facts. They rarely say bad things about people like Wike and Umahi (also Igbos) cos they belong to the same caucus.

Everytime Obi. Cos he has refused to steal. Refused to share money. And belongs to a tribe more inclined to take pride in the works of their hands than stealing.

Math now. Physics soon. Then biology (either after physics or at the same time).

When AI starts tearing through major open problems across all three, the scale of progress could become difficult to process in real time.

Entire fields will go from years between major breakthroughs to breakthroughs arriving every week.

People will be left speechless.

We will become an entirely new civilization.

@lorddrey @Ky0u5y4 Your frustration is understandable. I’m frustrated too. But it’s not an IQ problem. And there’s nothing inherently wrong with Nigerians.

Believe it or not, but it’s mostly a leadership problem. The current system just needs to be dismantled. But it can’t happen with democracy.

I have been building things since my days at FUT Owerri, where we launched the university’s first campus FM radio station. In industry, I served as a global lead ASIC design engineer, helping to develop the inertial sensors used in the early versions of the iPhone. I also invented a wafer-level chip-scale packaging technology for inertial sensors. Till today, the US Government has continued to honour royalties for using my PhD research and the patent that came out of it. I am a Nigerian and I build things!

Good People, when we engineered a native blockchain for Contisx Securities Exchange, we saw an opportunity to extend that operating system into a new category of secure communication.

I see some Nigerians defending China’s exploitation of Nigeria, and I laugh.

China will never build Nigeria for us. To the world, you are either an immigrant expected to remain grateful or a Nigerian expected to fix your own country.

The moment we understand this, we will stop complaining, stop making excuses and start building a nation that cannot be exploited.

No foreign power is coming to save Nigeria. We either build Nigeria or watch others take everything.
