Stats for Evals is now live, and we got a site, too: https://t.co/5FZNj9EF4I We'll be posting regular investigations across the summer. For now, we're starting with the basics: comparing models and prompts. Also has resources, principles, example code, and guidance for others:
Yes, I’m sure Opus 4.6 can head to Kenya to conduct a 4-month ethnographic study of intercultural collaboration in intro programming classes, in an afternoon. AI has certainly gotten better, wow
New paper alert 🚨
"Risk, Data, Alignment: Making Credit Scoring Work in Kenya" is conditionally accepted to #CHI2026
The paper is based on a recent 9-month ethnography of AI and data science practice in the financial worlds of Nairobi: https://t.co/LEu3suyUtZ
About this PhD debate:
1) Africa needs more not less PhDs, actually about 100k more in the next ten years by some estimates
2) Highly capacitated people are the engines that'll drive the continent's future. Those people need trainers, who in turn need trainers..PhD holders...
As someone who fundraises heavily, and has brought in a significant amount of money into this country, I'd bet that a 5-year election cycle causes much, much less capital flight than consistently broken systems, systemic corruption, citizen kidnaps and infrastructure dysfunction.
Just a girl, who got to debate brilliant scholars on a topic so relevant to our times.
It was truly a highlight of my year to have participated in the #DohaDebates.
Check out the debate featuring @yanisvaroufakis@evgenymorozov@danielsusskind and yours truly. 😊

The FIFA world cup 2026 ticket bidding process is such a sham! Ticket sales opened and within 2 minutes, 99% of tickets are gone -- probably acquired by bots. As if that's not enough, tickets are dynamically priced at 7x their price. Nope not gonna participate in this VISA heist
M-KOPA's growth and profitability is impressive and you've gotta give the team their flowers.
But make no mistake, this was built on millions and millions in equity and debt earmarked for climate / PAYGO solar. They've raised ~$600m in funding (debt/equity/grants).
Those assets (distro, backend, underwriting, debt facilities, human capital) were built over a decade by a company that was squarely trying to solve last mile energy in Africa. And for most of that time, the impact capital that backed M-KOPA also backed that mission.
Today, they are primarily a PAYGO smartphone platform. There's now very little solar footprint on their site.
We've gotta feel good for the team who've been able to pivot into a lucrative category with deep market pull. But we also need to ask ourselves what the last decade of impact investing has really yielded.
