@RugyendoQuotes Its mad out there

[Dr. Sserunjogi Emma @DrSerunjogiEmma]

If you're building with AI and your LLM API costs are high, I recommend moving to Deepseek for most of the tasks.
I switched to deepseek and the costs decreased by almost 90%.
Create a good API layer and redirect all simple tasks to deekseek and just hard ones to gpt-5.4-mini. All these have tool calling capabilities and reasoning.

YAY! The Musealised publication, a brainchild of the Art & Architecture Journalism Series programme, is OUT.

My piece, The Accents and Outfits of Makerere’s Architecture, is a love letter to a space that housed me for a semester. https://t.co/9wLNGlodoT

One in four travellers is now using #Augmented or #VirtualReality to explore hotels and attractions before they book! 🌐✈️

From AR pyramid tours in @Egypt to AI-powered planning tools, digital innovation is transforming every stage of the travel experience.

As technology like AI, IoT, and immersive tools becomes more mainstream, destinations that embrace them are set to offer smarter, more personalised, and sustainable tourism. 📱🌍

Ladies and gentlemen, I’m honored to be hosting the Bastille Day celebrations organized by the @FrenchEmbassyUg in Uganda 🇫🇷🇺🇬

Bastille Day, celebrated every 14th of July, marks a turning point in French history the storming of the Bastille prison in 1789, a powerful symbol of the fight for freedom, equality, and unity. Today, it stands as a global reminder of the importance of liberty and the strength of the people’s voice.

I look forward to a beautiful evening of culture, connection, and celebration. Vive la France!

Still at #POATE2025, our team—led by our head of office, Dr. @mmubangizi15, has been in vibrant conversation with everyone from @visitrwanda_now to tech innovators, faith leaders to the Tanzania Tourism Board. One clear message: digital tourism is no longer a future idea—it’s the now.
