i think this is a smart move but not as altruistic as it reads. africa's AI market is going from $4.5B in 2025 to $16.5B by 2030 — 27% annual growth. the continent holds 1.4 billion people but only 1.3% of global data storage capacity. whoever provides the AI infrastructure first essentially controls the data pipeline for an entire continent. anthropic isn't the first here. microsoft has already committed billions across south africa and kenya. google launched its first african cloud region in johannesburg. huawei is building an R&D centre in angola by 2027. this is a land grab and anthropic just planted its flag through rwanda. why rwanda specifically? because it's one of only four african countries scoring above 50% on AI government readiness. it already has babylon AI deploying healthcare chatbots in rural areas. it leapfrogged landlines for mobile banking. the infrastructure-skipping playbook is proven there. but here's the thing nobody talks about — most of africa's data is stored outside the continent, controlled by foreign tech companies. these MOUs give AI labs access to sovereign health and education data in exchange for "free" services. the economics of this aren't charity. it's acquiring the one thing money can't easily buy later — domain-specific training data from markets nobody else has touched. good for rwanda if the terms protect their data sovereignty. but history says they usually don't.

in #jamaica there are at-risk children and at-risk communities. post hurricane Melissa, we can add at-risk buildings, some are residential while others are government buildings, churches and schools. Some of the churches that were destroyed are protected by the national heritage trust act but those protections will need to be revisited.

just did school drop off and as I looked back at the array of desks and chairs and children, it reminded me that teachers do real work. Real work everyday, not for posting on social media, not for favor or votes, just real mf work for 8-12 hours a day and more, to shape the minds of the next generation. Most countries and their societies still don’t assign the work of a teacher its correct financial value. For all the attention and money given to athletes, entertainers, actors and ceos, they stand on the shoulders of their teachers who did, and still do, the lion’s share of the real mf work acting also as mother, father, aunty, uncle, big brother, big sister and cousins to help grow children into useful and successful people.

Most Lovable users didn't know how to code or build apps. That's what excites me the most. You can just chat with Lovable and build your first website or app.

Why did this strategy work? Real power isn't about being seen in the right rooms. It's about having leverage no one else possesses. Nvidia's chips were essential to America's AI ambitions – Huang knew this.

The biggest revelation from Deepseek is that Open Source has won. For a 1% difference in performance, it will be difficult for OpenAI to justify its price when the competition is free and formidable. -from my interview with Bloomberg

SpaceX's Starship launched successfully on March 6, 2025, from Starbase, Texas, at 6:30 p.m. ET. Nine minutes into the mission, the spacecraft began spinning out of control, leading to a "rapid unscheduled disassembly." Debris was seen streaking across the sky, and ground stops were issued at several Florida airports due to potential space launch debris. SpaceX will investigate with the FAA to improve future tests.

big up the Knights of Knockalva Technical High in Ramble, Hanover, Jamaica. An Agricultural school, it was established in 1940 and I am today years old finding out about it. I thought it was a typo and should have been “lava”.
