Change Maker & Founder of V O R I Z, an economic ecosystem bridging human labor, smart technology, logistics & sustainable finance for communities.@KazipoaInc
I'm not a billionaire founder or a famous inventor. I'm a change-maker in progress, a tech optimist who believes the journey matters as much as the destination. Think of this as the 'making-of' documentary, not the final premiere. Let's see what we can create.
Every country is asking:
"How do we regulate AI?"
I think Kenya should ask:
"How do we build globally competitive Kenyan AI companies?"
That's the central idea behind the recommendations I submitted on Kenya's Draft AI Policy.
The future belongs to countries that build. 🇰🇪
@benniejamil@Kenyans Celebrating a leader for doing the bare minimum of basic decency like visiting and keeping an injured employee lowers the bar for leadership.
These days I rarely panic over government policy. Politicians eventually have to answer to reality. The most productive citizens don't sit around waiting - they adapt, work around the rules, and keep creating value.
I’m begging you, never quit as a founder.
It’s 0 for longer than you’ll ever expect. No momentum. Soul-crushing doubts. Nobody seems to care.
Even when it looks like it’s working, it’s not. You keep trying new things. You don’t lose hope.
Then it snaps to 100.
You find the one thing that resonates. You wake up with more customers than you can handle. Everything is breaking. Momentum builds even when you stop pushing.
You didn’t get lucky. You just didn’t leave.
For my first post, I’m sharing a letter @NVIDIA signed on why open models matter.
AI will transform every industry, power every company, and be built by every country.
Open models strengthen safety and cybersecurity, accelerate innovation and diffusion, and enable sovereignty.
The world needs both frontier closed models and frontier open models.

Chasing AGI may sound not to pleasing to Pope Leo, but Chinese AI Labs are doing it and it's not like China has any diplomatic relations with the Vatican. So the Pontiff needs to support AI development in the West even if he calls for certain restraints.
A startup doesn't have to be your life's work, but if it is, you become much harder to defeat. You play the long game and you outlast everyone. Because practically everyone else is an opportunist by comparison.
An important piece from Demis. We need more of this kind of thinking. A good reminder that the goal is a frontier ecosystem that promotes innovation and choice, while avoiding any one model drop that breaks the world!
so far at least, i'm pretty sure AI has been net job-creating.
this was not what i expected--although i was much less pessimistic than others, i thought by this level of capability we'd have seen some impact.
it is possible this direction keeps going!
Big fan of people who are “trying.”
Whoever you are, and wherever you are in your journey…hang in there, keep going, and I’m rooting for you.
Anyone who has built from nothing, knows how hard it is. LFG.
Calling Lionel Messi a fraud is definitely one way to advertise that you started watching football yesterday. The man literally has eight Ballon d'Ors, a World Cup, and more trophies than most clubs have in their entire history. Go ahead and delete this before the entire timeline cooks you.
If you want to start a startup, don't learn "entrepreneurship." Learn how to build things. The hard part of startups is not "entrepreneurship" but product: to know what to build, and to be able to build it.
The Open Source adoption shows we have entered the era of abundance in AI. Initially, we thought NVIDIA was the only player. OpenAI was the only monopoly. They will kill every industry, every applications, every other companies. The Open Source movement reflects a much bigger theme: the world is big enough for many things to co-exist: chips, models, applications, industries. We are seeing competition in every layer and that's great. Everyone can choose what they buy and there are always new opportunities for new companies to shine.
