I've been working on https://t.co/sJTsvBZDfF for some weeks now. It is a data-driven platform that provides information and insight into the African Startup Ecosystem.

Today, we’re excited to introduce Miso One, the most emotive voice model in the world.

Miso One is an 8-billion-parameter text-to-speech model for highly expressive speech generation. It emotes like a human and responds faster than a human, with just 110 milliseconds of latency.

We’ve open-sourced the model weights, with API access coming soon.

Hear how Miso One sounds in the thread below.

one of the quotes i find most inspiring on a hard day:

"Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might, for in the realm of the dead, where you are going, there is neither working nor planning nor knowledge nor wisdom"

Apparently ~160 people in Austin, TX may make $100M+ from the SpaceX IPO. 12 will clear $1B.

Don't sleep on Austin - that's a lot of capital formation, very quickly.

The cost of avoiding structure is that every day has to be renegotiated from scratch.

People are capable of far more than they think, on far shorter timelines. Problems expand to fill the time you give them.

Most of the updates from Claude are basically the same thing.

Classic keyword play.

[M Mohan @mukund]

@BrettFromDJ Same with Claude Code. Claude Cowork. Claude Design. Claude GTM (to be released soon) and Claude Build (also to be released soon).

Same stuff. Small tweaks in UI.

Same underlying model.

Same rate limits.

This is just a rehash

@Tesla_AI Looking forward to it!

[Mustafa @oprydai]

become a generalist.

specialization makes you efficient. generalization makes you dangerous.

what it actually means:
• learn across domains → math, physics, software, economics, biology. patterns repeat across fields.
• connect ideas → innovation happens at the intersection, not inside silos.
• adapt fast → when one field shifts, you don’t collapse, you pivot.
• see systems → specialists see parts, generalists see the whole
• build end-to-end → from idea → design → implementation → delivery

the world rewards specialists in stable environments.
it rewards generalists when things are changing.

right now, everything is changing.

don’t just go deep.
go wide, then stack depth where it matters.

Claude code source code has been leaked via a map file in their npm registry!

🚨 CRITICAL: Active supply chain attack on axios -- one of npm's most depended-on packages.

The latest [email protected] now pulls in [email protected], a package that did not exist before today. This is a live compromise.

This is textbook supply chain installer malware. axios has 100M+ weekly downloads. Every npm install pulling the latest version is potentially compromised right now.

Socket AI analysis confirms this is malware. plain-crypto-js is an obfuscated dropper/loader that:

• Deobfuscates embedded payloads and operational strings at runtime
• Dynamically loads fs, os, and execSync to evade static analysis
• Executes decoded shell commands
• Stages and copies payload files into OS temp and Windows ProgramData directories
• Deletes and renames artifacts post-execution to destroy forensic evidence

If you use axios, pin your version immediately and audit your lockfiles. Do not upgrade.

@asemota Nigerians are always happy to explore lol.

I have a theory about AI that nobody is talking about:

It’s going to make smart people way smarter and dumb people way dumber

Interesting move.

We’re saying goodbye to the Sora app. To everyone who created with Sora, shared it, and built community around it: thank you. What you made with Sora mattered, and we know this news is disappointing.

We’ll share more soon, including timelines for the app and API and details on preserving your work. – The Sora Team
