An AI model trained on only 2.5 hours of operator data ran a real excavator remotely over @Starlink. Two and a half hours of watching a human, and the machine can dig on its own. The labor economy is about to look very different, very fast.

The Starlink service that can revolutionise mobile connectivity in South Africa SpaceX provided new details about its Starlink Mobile service in its recent S-1 filing ahead of its planned initial public offering. mybroadband.co.za/news/telecoms/…

Internet access is no longer a luxury or entertainment service; it has become infrastructure for human progress.

Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.

South Africa doesn’t just need more internet — it needs meaningful broadband access where traditional infrastructure struggles to reach. Starlink could help bridge the gap through: 📚 Better education 💼 Remote work opportunities 🌾 Smarter agriculture 🚑 Improved emergency response 🦒 Stronger tourism 🌍 Greater digital inclusion The future isn’t only about faster cities. It’s about connecting everyone. #Starlink #SouthAfrica #DigitalInclusion #Broadband #Education #Innovation #FutureOfWork

Most organisations have no idea how many AI systems are running inside their environment. One enterprise asked their IT team. IT said: 12. The real number? 47. Unauthorised chatbots. Untracked ML models. Third-party AI APIs nobody approved. Zero governance. Zero visibility. Legal nearly shut everything down. This isn't an edge case. This is most enterprises right now. ───────────────────────────── The NIST AI Risk Management Framework gives you the blueprint to fix it. Four functions. ServiceNow AI Control Tower operationalises all four. ───────────────────────────── ① GOVERN Set the rules before the AI runs. Policies, roles, approvals — all in one system of record. Every AI use case registered before it touches production. ② MAP You can't govern what you can't see. Full discovery across cloud, on-prem, and hybrid. Every model, agent, and dataset connected to the services and people it touches — anchored by the CMDB. ③ MEASURE Continuous monitoring for bias, drift, and compliance gaps. Real-time dashboards aligned to NIST AI RMF and the EU AI Act — out of the box. Periodic audits are dead. Live tracking is the standard. ④ MANAGE This is where Knowledge 2026 changed everything. AI Control Tower now has enforcement authority. If an agent goes rogue or exceeds its permissions — shut it down. In real time. An actual kill switch for AI that goes off script. ───────────────────────────── The shift from "monitor and report" to "sense, decide, and act" is now live on ServiceNow. Microsoft chose AI Control Tower to govern all its own AI agents. That tells you everything. If your organisation is deploying AI — on ServiceNow or anywhere in the enterprise — you need to understand this framework. Not after your next deployment. Before it. #ServiceNow #AIGovernance #NIST #NowAssist #AIRiskManagement #ITSM #DigitalTransformation #AICompliance #Knowledge2026 #EnterpriseAI

If AI now accounts for 25% of corporate layoffs, but 275,000 'AI jobs' are open, what's the real problem? It's not that AI is killing jobs. It's that we're training people for careers that expired five years ago. The education system is the bottleneck—not the technology. Fix that, and abundance follows.

@brockpierson Cool new games

First thing that comes to your mind when you see this

Much respect for OpenAI on what they achieved with GenAI, but is ChatGPT really the best name they could come up with? Could they not use their LLM to come up with a better name?🤔

@MarioNawfal I have a painting of Baansky, the sheep who was Pigcasso’s successor and student. Sadly, he went missing.

🇿🇦 Pigcasso was a real pig in South Africa whose abstract works raised over $1 million for animal charities. One painting, sold to a German collector, fetched $25,000. Each piece was “signed” with a snout dip in beetroot ink.

@sciencegirl I had all the cd’s🤘

These were all released within 57 days of each other in 1991

@MacRumors Is there anyone out there using Apple Intelligence in any way?🤔

iOS 27 Will Let You Pick Claude or Gemini Instead of ChatGPT for Apple Intelligence

@DearS_o_n That’s why I want a dog again. 😏

This is what wealth looks like in 2026.

Lets hope South Africa wakes up before we left in the stone ages. 😬

@Starlink Awesome! Bring them on, especially for more countries in Africa: 27 to go!

Me too🙂

The Tesla "T" logo comes from Nikola Tesla's original electric motor patent btw Pretty cool.
