A question that I should ask myself more:
What is the obvious opportunity that I’m not seeing because I’m biased, focused on small details and far from reality?

They used to charge millions of $ for this. Traore purchased the equipment, trained the young people, now Burkina doesn’t have to pay anyone, and that money stays home to fuels the economy.
Oh, and when they are done in Burkina Faso, other colonized African countries can hire them at 1/5 the cost they used to pay France.

Pseudo–Pan-Africanists piss me off. Y’all may hate Ruto, but some of these summits are important. They put Kenya on the map. We need intelligence, infrastructure, nuclear energy, etc. Do you know how much donations Kenyan climate activists received after the climate conference?

@BasedProphetic @ayagamax Gotta let go and move forward..effects of isolation outweigh the benefits partnership comes wit
English
Ok then Burkina can just decide to trade with Russia India Iran and China (EU could potentially be strong enough but they are not smart enough).
Also Burkina did nothing that is comparable to Iran or North Korea. So the US are going to look insane and send a bad messaging across the board. Everyone will just want to de americanese. Which is what is currently happening with major powers. Smaller countries could follows in the next 5/10 years.
America doesn’t live in a vacuum

@BasedProphetic @truthonly001 @WithoutHistory that doesn't mean the US cant stop people from buying from burkina faso lol
"if you do business with burkina faso i will impose a 50% tariff on you"
and overnight the country will die

@truthonly001 @WithoutHistory Bro the west don’t even produce those equipment anymore it’s cooling from China one way or another
English
@WithoutHistory He should better start building the equipment bcos the West can sanction Burkina Faso and make it impossible for them to buy equipment and even drugs. That was what was done to Iran, North Korea and Iraq. He should learn from history

You can partner with people that are trustworthy, otherwise isolation is the best move.
Saudi, Brazil, Italy , Russia , Mexique , India, UAE, Turkey ….
They have more capital or better technology than France and are less predatory (none of them ask for military base or immunity)

@robinhanson People are generalizing something almost never happening to 54 countries… wild how CT is full of dumbfuck thinking they know better

They said capitalists can't build infrastructure in Africa as it is fixed, & govts there just confiscate. So capitalists made floating & therefore transferable infrastructure.

🇹🇷🇬🇭 A single Turkish ship anchored off Ghana's coast generates over a quarter of the country's electricity. The MV Karadeniz Powership Osman Khan is 299 meters long and pumps out up to 480 MW of power. It has been doing this since 2017. No power plant to build. No years of construction delays. Karpowership, the Turkish private company behind it, has quietly turned this model into a global business, deploying floating plants to countries with chronic energy deficits across Africa and beyond. Africa has an infrastructure gap that traditional investment has failed to close for decades. Turkey found a way to monetize that gap with engineering.

@tekinsaeko @odanga_r It really depends of the country Kenya or Nigeria probably yes …

You will never find a serious Pan-Africanist who is not critical about brain drain and who doesn’t understand and decry the very real reasons why Africans need to travel abroad for educational opportunities. This is sad.

Every loaf of bread sold in Morocco pays the king.
Every cement. Every phone bill.
Every insurance policy.
Every loan.
The conventional read on Morocco is the success story of North Africa. Stable monarchy, gradual reform, friendly to Europe. All true at the surface.
Also all beside the point.
Morocco is one of the cleanest captured states on the planet.
The captor is the man wearing the crown.
The royal family's holding company, Al Mada, controls Attijariwafa Bank, Marjane retail, Lafarge cement, Cosumar (the sugar monopoly), Lesieur (the cooking oil monopoly), Centrale Danone (dairy), Wafa Assurance, and a long tail of energy, mining, and real estate positions.
Forbes has estimated Mohammed VI's personal wealth at $5-8 billion. I think the real number is meaningfully higher, because the royal accounting structure is designed to be opaque.
The man supposed to fix the wealth distribution problem is the wealth distribution problem.
Morocco holds roughly 70% of the world's economically extractable phosphate reserves. Phosphate is the limiting input for global fertilizer. Without it the world cannot feed itself at current population levels.
OCP, the state phosphate company, has been progressively financialized over 20 years. Bonds issued into international markets, held by BlackRock and Vanguard and the rest.
Joint ventures with foreign fertilizer companies that capture a meaningful slice of the value chain.
Phosphate revenues that should fund rural healthcare and rural education are instead funding bond coupons paid into the global creditor class, dividends through the royal holding structure, and the next round of capex.
You don't expropriate. You don't nationalize.
You just bring the global financial architecture into the company and the country's share quietly drains through bond servicing, JV margin, and dividend repatriation, while the headline GDP number goes up and the per-capita reality stays still.
Youth unemployment is 25-30%. Rural poverty is at sub-Saharan levels. The Rif has been kept underdeveloped for 60 years as deliberate punishment for being where most of the historical resistance to the monarchy came from.
So why no revolution?
Several reasons I can see.
Religious legitimacy is one. The king is the commander of the faithful, claims direct descent from the Prophet, and carries theological authority no Arab Spring republic president ever had.
EU is another, acting as a migration valve. Spain is 14 kilometers away, France hosts a 4-million-strong Moroccan diaspora, and the young men who would organize a revolution leave instead.
Selective enforcement is third. The 2016-2018 Hirak Rif protests were crushed, Nasser Zefzafi is serving 20 years, the message landed.
And international cover, France, Spain, the US, Israel, and the Gulf all prefer Mohammed VI in place and will not back any alternative.
The king has spent 25 years removing every pathway by which Moroccan unhappiness could translate into a forcing function.
The country is not getting better for ordinary Moroccans.
The change, when it comes,
will not come from policies pushed down from Rabat.

Fact check: true!
Even if you were early-ish at a frontier AI company (or, ahem, sold your startup to a public company), you're just scraping by in the SF middle class as a wagie.
What those outside the tech bubble (or the newly-arrived SF hopefuls) don't realize is that the "only 1% are winning" power-law that describes tech vs. the regular economy is fractally true inside the tech economy as well.
There are a few dozen actual winners in every tech cycle, and you're either one of them or you're not. Something you don't quite get out of the PG essays and VC think-pieces.
But if you read your 19th-century Gold Rush history, you'll know this was true then too...

$TROLL has low-key pumped almost 8x in 10 days it went from crashing 96% from its $280m ATH to as low as $10m, a range it consolidated around for ~100 days while everyone declared it dead... then BOOM, it's up 14x off the lows and 7x in one week all of a sudden this reminds me of $FLOKI last cycle it crashed 99% from its $3.5 billion ATH in late 2021 to lows of about $40 million in mid 2022 off the back of the most aggressive FUD i've ever seen directed at a memecoin + the bear market, and many called it dead for good then all of a sudden, it ripped from $40m to $800m, pulled back and consolidated for a while, and then ripped back to its $3.5 billion ATH (a ~117x increase) that's memecoins for you! memecoins have this habit of pumping super hard when they first come out, crashing 90%+ and then consolidating for months as everyone deems them dead, only to erupt from the lows all of a sudden and make new ATHs when no one expects it every single time, we see people come out of the woodwork to say 'this time is different, memecoins are dead for good for XYZ reason'... then we see the same thing play out again i've been trading memecoins for three cycles, so trust me when i say i see this play out every single time if you find a strong, high-potential memecoin i.e. • strong narrative • solid normie appeal • solid distribution (i.e. CEX listings) that allows easy access and liquidity • strong volume and on-chain fundamentals even during the worst of times • strong community + critic combo during its lows (i.e. people keep talking about it) then you should be aggressively bidding it during the lows, even if a lot of vocal critics are calling it dead and there is no memecoin in the market that hits all of these points more perfectly than $USELESS right now it is the most normie-friendly memecoin, and the best bet to pull a $DOGE-like rally in the market today IMO on-chain indicators also point to aggressive and consistent whale + smart money accumulation ongoing right now, which usually precedes a major move in the early days, Dogecoin emerged as the first real memecoin to make a mockery of Bitcoin, and it resonated with a lot of people today, USELESS is doing the same thing, but to the entire cryptocurrency sector and soon USELESS is going to pull a face-melting rally to new ATHs first, and then to multi-billions it's going to happen very suddenly and very aggressively, and many will be left sidelined are you positioned? i am!

The nation that arranged the poisoning of Toussaint Louverture of St Domingue ( Haïti) for demanding the end of slavery and the liberation of his people in 1803; that assassinated Ruben Um Nyobe, the Cameroonian independence leader hunted down and killed in 1958 by French forces before independence was even formally granted, that had Felix Moumie of Cameroon, poisoned in Geneva by his intelligence in 1960, that orchestrated the assassination of Sylvanus Olympio of Togo by soldiers of his colonial army in 1963, that armed and protected the man who murdered Thomas Sankara in 1987 and sheltered him for decades, that supported the destabilisation that led to the overthrow and death of Modibo Keita of Mali, that printed millions of fake currency to destroy the Guinean Franc after 8 failed assassination attempts at Sekou Toure because he stood his grounds and demanded independence, that stood behind the forces that removed and destroyed Patrice Lumumba, coordinating with Belgium and the CIA to ensure Congo’s most visionary independence leader did not survive his own government, that massacred at least 100,000 Malagasy people, 250,000 Cameroonians, 1.2 million Algerians between 1955 and 1962 simply because they demanded their independence.
The president of that nation, less than half a century after committing such atrocities stood before a room full of African heads of state in 2026 and declared itself the true Pan-Africanist. And not one of them stood up. Not one said: you cannot use that word: not here, not with that history on this continent. Not a single one had the dignity to say what any person with an elementary knowledge of what Pan-Africanism means and what France has done to those who practiced it would have said immediately and without hesitation.
It is the equivalent of a Nazi leader standing before a Jewish assembly and announcing that Germany is the true defender of the Jewish people. There are words that carry such historical mass that no political convenience, no diplomatic ambition, no funding arrangement justifies allowing them to be stolen and worn by those who spent generations trying to destroy what those words represent; Pan-Africanism is one of those words. And it was surrendered in that room without a fight, by men who were supposed to be there representing us.
France is not even a formidable power anymore. It cannot impose its will on its own European neighbourhood. Its economy is strained, its global influence is null, its African military presence has been expelled. It intimidates no one who has chosen not to be intimidated. And yet these boneless, prideless, senseless humans we call Africa leaders sat and applauded this humiliation ritual.
What breaks me is knowing that every generation, without fail, produces its quota of leaders who will trade the dignity of their people for a photograph with a western head of state, for a seat at a table that was never set for them. They dress it up as pragmatism and call it diplomacy. But it is the oldest and most contemptible transaction in the postcolonial playbook: the surrender of collective dignity for personal visibility.
And these are days, I will not pretend otherwise, where I genuinely wonder if we will ever be free. Not because the struggle is not real or the people are not capable, but because freedom requires leaders at the decisive moment, and every decisive moment seems to find us represented by spineless, glory-hunting, photograph-chasing men who would sell the graves of their own predecessors for a handshake with those that tried to erase their people. Every generation inherits the fight for freedom but also produces the cowards who auction it.

China's Wuji Tech has confirmed that its highly dexterous Wuji Hands are featured in the French startup Genesis AI's new viral demo.
Paris-based Genesis AI, launched in 2025 with more than $100 million in seed funding, shared footage of a dual-arm manipulator robot autonomously performing a wide range of complex physical tasks with multiple steps using the same neural network. The robot in the demo is integrated with a pair of Wuji Hands that boast a reported 22 degrees of freedom (DoF) each.
“We believe GENE-26.5 is an early but important step toward human-level robotic manipulation,” the startup said in a blog post. “Manipulation capability does not emerge from model training alone. It requires a coherent system: hardware that can express rich contact, data collection that preserves human interaction, control that minimizes the gap between intention and execution, models that absorb multimodal supervision at scale, and evaluation infrastructure that makes iteration scalable and reproducible.”
The artificial intelligence is trained on data collected using high tech gloves that capture motion, force, and tactile feedback from real human hands at work. It’s combined with data from first person demonstration videos and large-scale simulation.
Genesis AI, which is led by former researchers from Mistrial AI and Carnegie Mellon University (CMU), says this helps the system better understand both the physical world and how humans interact with it. The startup says it’s developing a full stack robotics platform for use in factories, logistics hubs, laboratories, and eventually households.

a lot of the sentiment in crypto is caused by focusing exclusively on outputs rather than inputs
this makes sense as most participants are traders, and traders focus on outputs (chart, price)
but you have no control over outputs, only inputs
and from an ingredient/construction POV, the inputs are as high quality as I've seen so far
sol was an obvious example of high quality inputs in 2021 (and still is), zcash is another (though it took a while for people to take notice)
I have full conviction we're going to see crypto only get more important and widespread from here
but you must watch the future, not the present, or you'll miss out
