The Market God predicts that the 8-ball will say ‘Yes’. The 8-ball says ‘No’.

I think those tech moguls are really betting on the political power of AI. That it can overturn elections, hack powerful systems, change regimes, advance science incredibly.

All of which are social achievements. Except the moguls themselves and their projects are not social at all.

So they bet: “Our projects are so politically relevant the money won’t matter.”. And it ends up mattering, maybe. I don’t know, I’m no political scientist.

Africa has to decide for itself what’s is in its best interest in the UN. Some may say that the lack of democracy is a problem, but it is just as an human endeavour as any in the world.

Africa has to represent itself, to have a living voice in world matters. They sure know as best than anyone what is good for their destiny, for they are people just as any.

UN has a post world war 2 History, but that doesn’t mean it wasn’t built to bring peace and prosperity to the world, and this means giving voice and political power to decide on world matters to Africa.

A little bit scary.

You know, since we’re on this topic, I think a small LLM powered by tool use would be cool. But things need to be better. For example, will you rely forever on DuckDuckGo that for instance relies on Bing? That’s a bad idea. Someone needs to get CommonCrawl or make new datasets and power it using tool use. Tool use + a small LLM would be useful for many uses that people have for LLMs. That would cut energy use and the need for large DataCenters a lot. Isn’t that what you want?

I could’ve made a simple collage with a crowd and someone with open arms. That would be cute.

more like an infection really

Sorry, I rather use AI than a real person on a red carpet. I just don’t jive with Fame.

Edit: I could have put a picture with Robert Downey Jr. or something like that, but I really didn’t want to.

More democracy can’t be bad.

Brilliant reporting for a brilliant topic.
