@Ashirmeud Spanish Town is still grossly underpriced.
Many still have the fear of the now non-existent One Order vs Clansman Spanish Town of the nineties, early 2000s.
However, the fall in crime, the commercial development, and population growth are still lost on many.

@bumbuhklaattt Most “free” beaches in Jamaica have locals who request a “donation” to keep the beach clean.
In every Caribbean country I’ve visited, free public beaches have government-supported sanitation personnel. The only fee you might be asked to pay is for changing rooms or restrooms.

Please make this happen it would be so amazing 🤣🤣

Yeah…. Not having to find that 20k every month is an incredible relief.

Didn’t pay a penny for concerta for the first time and honestly, let the government cook. I’m seeing the vision

@renatonitta @marcgayle If you are afraid because "China". Ollama hosts many of the open Chinese models, and they are a US company.

@marcgayle @frazras So far I’ve only tested Codex 5.3 and Opus 4.6.

In a way I prefer the American AI companies because they're mostly public (Google etc) or will be public at some point by IPO (OpenAI, Anthropic) so the people can actually participate and profit from automating them out of their jobs
The Chinese models and companies are great and top the benchmarks but either they stay private forever or they go public on Chinese stock markets which don't really work like the ones in the US (it's more smoke and mirrors there) so you can't benefit from them so much as a stock holder
Having only private companies own the models that you can't invest in would be the true dystopia you don't want
American public stock markets where literally anyone can buy a stock in any public company are really the one of the most socially friendly and in a way communist (in a good way) things invented we should be grateful for existing

@Matt_Camps The ppl need an explanation, paid 21K at Fontana, so I need more info🥲

@everonegraham Pulling out my American Express credit card, aaahh, the sweet smell of the privilege of tax avoidance.

AI agents aren’t coming. They’re clocking in. 🤖⏱️
Inference costs just collapsed to nearly $1 per compute hour with Minimax 2.5 level pricing.
That changes everything.
At this price point, autonomous agent frameworks like OpenClaw can run continuously without enterprise budgets.

@marcgayle @renatonitta I'm a few weeks in, and my number one recommendation is to use a high-end, inexpensive models like the Chinese open source options: Kimi k2.5, Minimax 2.5, or Deepseek. Use a cheap, fast, but modern model for your HEARTBEAT, like Grok 4.5 fast.
It takes some getting used to.
English

@renatonitta Thanks for sharing this.
This mental model for OpenClaw is the first one that actually rings true to me.
I was never comfortable with giving it access to my entire world.
I love the idea of setting it up as its own sandbox and identity though.
That makes a lot of sense.

@HackingGavin @tonybwoii @yaneekpage @itsrhicol I see what you're saying. The onus is on the government to communicate it to the major players, Google, Amazon, Netflix, et al., and they would charge it as a VAT. Alternately, I've seen Trinidad charge "online shopping" tax through the local shipping companies, that would =banks
English

@tonybwoii @frazras @yaneekpage @itsrhicol @frazras fair, there is VAT but that is across the board for practically everything.
But when u are going to tax specific things only, someone has to track those specific things to trigger the tax.
English

@HackingGavin @tonybwoii @yaneekpage Taxes are standard practices by most of the large subscription companies. When you sign up, you see your subscription cost plus the tax. Then these companies remit the taxes back to your government.
This is standard for many countries, especially Europe. We have just been lucky.
English

@tonybwoii @yaneekpage Based on how much money they are budgeting to collect it looks like they will need the banks' help to track who is paying for a digital services and then the bank pays it over to the government.
English

@HackingGavin If you are European, this is standard for you. When you sign up for an online subscription, you see the cost of the subscription plus the tax. The service providers remit the tax back to Jamaica.
Not all people do this. Not all services. But definitely the big brands.

@frankyecom Are you willing to share your stack/formula for UGC creation?
English

@letdatsinkin Yeah! You're right, Guyana is really suffering. My thoughts and prayers are with them.
Wouldn't wish what happened to them on my worst enemy.
I'd, however, wish it on myself and my friends.

@d_NigerianWhale @IAMYENDI You forgot the rest of the verse - "but not my will but thine."
How about Solomon's prayer, he asked for wisdom, and God said no, you get wisdom AND riches AND fame because you only asked for wisdom. Or Jesus' parable of the wicked Judge, how we ought to pray and not faint.
English

@frazras @IAMYENDI Now ask yourself: when Jesus prayed so hard that his sweat turned or looked like blood, for this cup to pass over him, did the cup pass over him ? NO.
everything still happened as God as ordained.
If Jesus had not prayed, the cup still won’t have passed over him.
Unc is right.
