Uncle Ebo Whyte writes: I once worked with a pharmaceutical company, and one of the surest ways to meet sales targets was to sell to major hospitals because they bought in large quantities and paid on time. But to do that, you first had to register as a supplier and then wait to be invited to bid whenever the hospital needed items. After months of trying, I finally met the chief pharmacist of one big hospital. He was one of the most decent and honest men I had ever met, and he helped us register as a supplier. A week later, we received an invitation to submit our bid, and we worked hard to meet the deadline. Completed bids were to be dropped into a secure box, and no one was supposed to access them until the official opening day. But about a week before the bids were to be opened, I received a call from a member of the procurement committee. He asked if I had “factored the committee into my pricing.” I said I thought the committee was simply looking for the best deal for the hospital. He laughed and said, “The chief pharmacist who helped you register doesn’t like money. But the rest of us do.” He then explained that each member of the committee controlled a category of items and chose which supplier would win it. When he mentioned the items I had bid for, I asked how he knew, since the bid box had not been opened. He laughed and said, “Really, Mr. Whyte? This is Ghana.” Then he said, “Your prices will win you every item you bid for this time. But because you did not factor us into your pricing, this will be the last time you will ever be invited to bid.” I thought he was joking. But I never received another invitation from that hospital until I left the pharmaceutical sector. The second thing that must change if Ghana is to realize her fullest potential is what I call the ‘Non-System System’ (NSS). The official system at that hospital was simple and transparent. But sitting on top of that efficient system was the Non-System System, where committee members had devised ways of manipulating the process to favour their preferred suppliers. If you operate in Ghana, it is easy to conclude that there is no system here, that nothing works as it should. But that would be wrong. Ghana is actually a very structured country. The problem is that we run two systems at the same time: the beautiful, well-thought-out official system that public servants will outline to you, and above it, another system that we as a people have created, the Non-System System (NSS). It is not official. Those who operate it will deny its existence. And yet it has become our default operating system in Ghana. And if you do not play by its rules, you will be very frustrated, because nothing will work for you. Take the filling station, for example. The official system is simple: you buy GHS100 worth of fuel, and the attendant gives you a receipt for GHS100. End of story. But the Non-System System steps in. You buy GHS100 worth of fuel and the attendant asks, “How much should I write on the receipt?” So you say, “Make it GHS500.” He writes GHS500. You tip him GHS20. You go back to the office, submit the receipt, and collect a refund for fuel you never bought. The attendant is happy. You are happy. And somewhere a boss is wondering why the company’s vehicles consume so much fuel. Even in my own business, organising events, the Non-System System operates. It is so efficient that by the time you sell 10 tickets, the Non-System System has sold 50. The National Theatre can be full, yet the organizer can account for only 200 tickets in a 1,400-seater auditorium. The Non-System System allows people to benefit personally from the service they are paid to offer. And no matter how tight the official system is, the Non-System System will always find a way to rig it for personal profit. I do not know what it will take to dismantle it. But until we do, Ghana will remain a difficult country to operate in, especially for anyone who wants to play by the rules.

We are sending our kids to school to memorize facts that AI can retrieve in 0.3 seconds. We're grading them on essays that AI writes better than their teachers. We're preparing them for jobs that won't exist by the time they graduate. The entire education system is training humans to compete with machines at what machines do best. That's not education. That's sabotage. The schools that survive will teach thinking, not memorizing. Creating, not repeating. Discerning, not obeying. Every other school is a museum that doesn't know it yet.

David Sinclair says we’ll find out this year whether aging is reversible. His lab reversed biological age in animals by 75% in six weeks. The FDA has cleared the first human trial. Aging may be information loss. Information can be restored.

@ghonetv That's a country that protects its citizens. He may be penalised but he won't be betrayed. That's a country worth living and dying for. Not one that will sell you out at the least neck pressing.

A new scandal for American AI: A vulnerability has been discovered in Office M365. This vulnerability allows Copilot to access and read your emails, even confidential ones, without your consent. Therefore, if you have sensitive files, Microsoft's AI will recognize them, and your information could potentially fall into the hands of others. The issue isn't limited to email; Excel, Word, and other applications are also affected. Judging from the announcement, Microsoft seems to have been aware of the problem for at least the past month.

My 10-year-old nephew asked me today if robots are going to take everyone's jobs. I said probably not everyone's. Someone has to fix the robots. He said what if the robots fix themselves. That's when I realized I was having an existential crisis with a fourth grader. I've spent 15 years building a career in IT. Every few years the technology changes and I adapt. Servers to cloud. On-premise to SaaS. Manual to automated. But what happens when the automation automates itself? I'm not worried about next year or even five years from now. I'm worried about 15 years from now when my nephew is entering the workforce and half the jobs that exist today are just... gone. He asked what I would do if I wasn't working with computers. I genuinely don't know. This is all I've ever done. He said maybe I could be a teacher. Teach people about computers. I said maybe. But who needs teachers when AI can explain everything better than I can?He looked worried. I changed the subject. But the question is still sitting in my head. What do I actually do if this entire career path just evaporates?

microsoft just released a security patch that deletes your internet!!! the dhcp client service is functionally dead because they forgot how dll exports work. the os literally telling you it has lost the will to live the only way to save your pc from kb5077181 is to delete the catroot2 folder (unless you trust the 'pause updates' button) kb5077181 is the most stable release yet, provided you never actually want to log in to your account again neowin.net/news/windows-1…

You can now earn a PhD in China by creating a product instead of writing a 100-page dissertation! China has grown tired of PhD students writing research papers that no one reads and is now demanding that they build real products instead. This radical shift in the philosophy of higher education in China represents a formal transition from "textual academia" to "utilitarian academia," where the traditional doctoral dissertation is replaced by the creation of a tangible product. The brilliance of this idea lies in its direct approach to the scourge of "dead research" that consumes years of researchers' efforts only to remain locked away in drawers, thus transforming the university from an intellectual silo into a productive engine that feeds the market and fosters innovation immediately.

Apologies to Chez Amis. I just left Chez Amis’ place, and she has not been arrested or involved in any such incident. The rumor being spread about her arrest by WickedBlogger and others is false. My earlier post was misleading and inaccurate. I sincerely apologize to Chez Amis and her brand, and I kindly ask the public to disregard the information being circulated. Signed, Bongo Ideas.
