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.

We've signed an MOU with the Government of Rwanda—the first partnership of its kind in Africa—to bring AI to health, education, and other public sectors.

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.

NO FEES on web transactions. Game over for the Apple Tax.
Apple’s 15-30% junk fees are now just as dead here in the United States of America as they are in Europe under the Digital Markets Act. Unlawful here, unlawful there.

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.

be not self-conscious, be like children

NEW EPISODE: "The key is to lose self-consciousness. Children are remarkable because they're not self-conscious. They haven't been bombarded by rules and society telling them what to hide. Acting takes discipline, but the goal is to be fully present in the moment." -Adrien Brody
