I resigned from Anthropic today. I spent the last three years doing pretraining research at both OpenAI and Anthropic. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing straight to self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives. More thoughts below.
In the month of August alone, I put some money into my Opay wallet to run minor things but with your careless posting alleging that @OPay_NG intends to dub us of our hard earned money, I quickly transferred all money to another fintech. This is an irreparable damage to the image of @OPay_NG. I don’t think I will ever use @OPay_NG again if they refuse to sue you for defamation, character assassination, assault on their honor and integrity, and campaign of calumny.
Following today's magic, we're unapologetically going to have to post about Bruno AGAIN...

@omoelerinjare NDIC is the best place to go. I was a victim around 2021 same Access bank debited $543 from my account. Then I wasn’t in Nigeria, I followed via email but my efforts were in vain. I came on holiday and went to report to NDIC, they returned the monies within few days.
The worst way you can spend the month of the mawlid is argue about the permissibility of the mawlid.

أساس القدوة والأسوة وما يترتب عليه في الدارين من السعادة أو الشقاء

يبيّن في الخطبة أن حقيقة الاقتداء الصادق لرسول الله ﷺ، القدوة العظمى للمسلمين في شتى مجالات الحياة؛ عبادةً ومعاملةً وسلوكاً، مُحذّراً من التبعية العمياء والتعظيم لمن خالف الله ورسوله، كما يستعرض نماذج من حلم النبي ﷺ وتواضعه وصبره على الأذى، داعياً إلى استثمار ذكرى المولد النبوي الشريف في إحياء سنته، وتصحيح مسار الاقتداء وتزكية البيوت والأسر بهديه للفوز والنجاة في الدارين..

Sayyidunā Abū Qatādah narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ was asked about fasting on Mondays, to which he ﷺ replied:
“𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝗼𝗻 𝘄𝗵𝗶𝗰𝗵 𝗜 𝘄𝗮𝘀 𝗯𝗼𝗿𝗻, and the day on which revelation was sent down to me.”
[Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim, no. 1162]
Here we learn that the Prophet ﷺ would single out the day of his birth with an act of extra worship: fasting. Likewise, Sunnīs commemorate his blessed birth by doing extra acts of worship and remembrance of Allāh, out of love and gratitude for the greatest blessing bestowed upon humanity: the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ.
The noble Ṣaḥābah did not need a Mawlid in the way we speak of it today, because their lives were immersed in the presence of the Mawlūd ﷺ. Yet what we find in their lives is precisely the kind of love, reverence, and joy that we seek to express when remembering his blessed birth ﷺ, but we will never come close to that.
Whenever they were in his presence ﷺ, they would hasten to honour him. They treasured every trace of him ﷺ: they sought the water of his wuḍūʾ, preserved his blessed hair, and competed with one another for the privilege of serving him by fulfilling his needs, and much more.
For them, every gathering with the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ was an occasion of love and remembrance. Every moment spent in his company was precious. His very presence among them was, in a sense, a continual Mawlid.
And yet, there is something even more beautiful: For all the love they had for him ﷺ, his concern for them was even greater. He ﷺ cared deeply about their struggles, carried their worries, comforted their hearts, and grieved over their pain.
They loved him ﷺ with everything they possessed, and he ﷺ loved his Ummah with a mercy beyond what they could ever comprehend.
May Allāh Taʿālā fill our hearts with a sincere and profound love for the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ; a love that brings us closer to his Sunnah, increases our gratitude for his coming, and inspires us to remember, honour, and follow him ﷺ throughout our lives.
