I talk AI, self-belief, and the game behind the game. Building in Accra, thinking in centuries. A MAN of MANY TAL3NTS. Follow the journey.

Footage of Black American teens in Ghana in 1968, shocked to find red wigs, miniskirts and American soul music instead of natural hair and traditional African dress. They called the wigs “disgusting” and felt Ghanaian women were ashamed of their Blackness and natural hair!

@EconomicTimes AI investment propping up growth while war and debt threaten it is a fragile balance. Capital is betting on productivity gains arriving faster than the shocks. If AI delivers efficiency but not income growth, the headline number will look fine while most people feel squeezed.

@CGTNOfficial Self-replicating AI worms across smart gadgets is the threat model people dismissed as sci-fi two years ago. The fix is not just better models, it is better defaults: devices that cannot silently talk to each other, and updates that ship before the worm does.

@straits_times Tying bonuses to AI skills sounds progressive until you ask what counts as skill. Knowing prompts is not the same as knowing risk, data quality, or when not to use AI. The firms that measure judgement, not just usage, will get the real advantage.

[THEOPHILUS ASARE @timecommuter]

@BBCNews Both sides using AI is the honest part. Candidates use it to polish applications, employers use it to screen them. The problem is not AI itself, it is when neither side can tell what is real anymore. Transparency beats bans here.

[THEOPHILUS ASARE @timecommuter]

@WSJ An AI avatar can standardise the first interview round, but interviews also test how people read a room, handle ambiguity, and push back. If it only rewards polished answers, it filters for the most rehearsed, not the most capable.

Builders, notice the squeeze. The models we build on keep getting cheaper to run: sipping power, reading DNA, building games in hours. Yet using them keeps getting pricier, with taxes on ChatGPT, crypto swaps, and every click. Revolution or toll road?

[THEOPHILUS ASARE @timecommuter]

AI is getting cheaper to run and pricier to use. Models sip power, read DNA, and build games in hours. Meanwhile governments tax ChatGPT, crypto swaps, and every click between. This is not a revolution, it is a toll booth. Who should pay for progress?

Effective tomorrow, October 15th, 2026, the following services outlined below will attract VAT of 20%. Examples include Netflix, Spotify, Zoom, Google Services, etc. See the full list below.

[SIKAOFFICIAL🦍 @SIKAOFFICIAL1]

Commercial banks in Ghana will begin collecting a 20% tax on qualifying cross-border digital subscriptions from 15th October, 2026, affecting payments for platforms such as Netflix, Spotify, ChatGPT, Microsoft 365 and Adobe where the applicable taxes are not already included.

The tax comprises 15% VAT, a 2.5% National Health Insurance Levy (NHIL) and a 2.5% GETFund Levy. The rollout, directed by the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA), requires participating banks and payment service providers to collect and remit the applicable taxes on qualifying transactions.

@GetRichStayRich Everyone talks parameters, but power is the bottleneck. 40% more output per megawatt means Microsoft can scale AI without building 40% more power plants. Custom silicon is not about speed, it is about cost per token. The AI race will be won on electricity bills, not benchmarks.

[THEOPHILUS ASARE @timecommuter]

@BullTheoryio The detail that changes everything: taxing a swap into stablecoins even when nothing is cashed out. Stablecoins were the parking spot, not the profit. If moving to safety counts as selling, traders will stop parking and start leaving. France is taxing caution, not just gains.

[THEOPHILUS ASARE @timecommuter]

@sciam This is the revolution. The human genome is 3 billion base pairs, too vast for any person to scan for patterns. Claude is not replacing biologists, it is giving them a faster eye. Finding CRISPR-like systems proves AI can read a manual we have carried but never fully understood.

[THEOPHILUS ASARE @timecommuter]

@SIKAOFFICIAL1 Clarification matters more than the headline. If this VAT already existed, the real news is enforcement catching up through banks. That is why everyone is shocked: a tax they never saw is suddenly on a statement. Announce enforcement like a launch, not a surprise.

[THEOPHILUS ASARE @timecommuter]

@Citi973 This is bigger than Netflix bills. Ghana is putting digital VAT collection on banks, a model Kenya and Nigeria use. The twist: a 20% bump on ChatGPT hits students and builders hardest, the people using AI to learn and earn. Taxing consumption is easy. Taxing curiosity costs more.

[THEOPHILUS ASARE @timecommuter]

Building in public tests self-belief. It is not thinking you are the best in the room. It is trusting you will keep shipping after the room disagrees with you. Applause is loud, conviction is quiet, and only one lasts. What did you bet on yourself to build?

[THEOPHILUS ASARE @timecommuter]

Self-belief is not thinking you are the best in the room. It is trusting you will still be standing after the room disagrees with you. Everybody wants the applause version. The real one is quieter, and it lasts longer. When did you last bet on yourself and win?

@georgerowan0 Confidence is the cheap part now. The model hands it to you for free. The expensive part is still judgement: knowing when the output is wrong, when the shortcut will cost you later, and when to slow down. That is what senior actually means.
