They say all it takes to have a ‘trending’ podcast is…

Two microphones, a couple of cameras, some gossip, and access to alcohol.

But, how accurate is this statement? (2/15)

Well, why should I have two cameras, you may ask? Because in the podcasting world, symmetry is key. Two hosts, two mics, and a few cameras to capture every eyebrow raise and dramatic pause…

The Dark Side of AI: Bias, Discrimination and Manipulation twitter.com/i/web/status/1… (2/24)

AI has made great strides in recent years, offering many benefits and the potential to change our lives. But as we explore AI further, we need to confront the dark side that accompanies its development and deployment.

What is insane is the amount of abuse and trolling I endured for making this statement.

I believed it then.
And I stand by it still.

Notice how those that were angry at my comments are not as angry at the poorly state of Africa and Africans today.

The most talented Africans are leaving because Africa is being managed greed slaves still thinking and acting like slaves.

Data Harvesting: The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly.

Despite knowing there are various ways in which companies can track our information, do we really know what they are doing with it? (2/22)

While Facebook and other companies may claim to protect your privacy, they aren't going to need the personal information you provide to determine exactly who you are and what you'll do next.

The recent closure of the Mara Phones factory in South Africa opens up a wound that is hard for most entrepreneurs to deal with:

You are told to take the risk, risk your money and your career to start a business.
You are laughed at if things don't work out.

A thread ... The Mara Phones story is a reflection of the aspirations of Africa.

We gleefully proclaim that Africa is rising. The macro data & the conference PowerPoint presentations are littered with data on the economic potential of Africa.

But the question is, are Afri-CANS rising?

Did you know that the map of the world is incorrect?

But what I can't figure out, is this, "why can't African countries themselves start printing the correct dimensions of the world map?"

Or is my thinking simplistic?

Cred @SayginYalcin And by the way, I know about the history of the world map & how it was used to teach and justify the exploitation of Africa and Africans.

I know the history.

What I am asking is why must Africa wait for the world to "fix this"?

We are seeing another moment in technology history where smart money must distinguish the "leading edge" & the "bleeding edge."

The rate at which technology changes, means the incumbent can become the underdog in a half-sprint. When Snow's smash hit song "Informer" dropped in his 1992 debut album, it was as if the earth stood still. If only for a brief moment.

The flow & the beat caught the attention of contemporary culture and music critics across the globe. Yet, nobody really knew the lyrics.

The greatest fallacy of our modern economic times is that poor people are poor because they are lazy.

It implies that hard work is all that’s required to lift yourself from poverty.

Not true. Poverty is a function of an enabling environment, a lack of access to opportunities & a social malaise that sets in to communities that are homes to the poor.

And the worst of these is manifest in the savior syndrome: a favorite dietary requirement of corrupt politicians.
