Just because you are honest does not mean you are competent. You need both honest AND competent politicians.

Nigeria third place win.

Get in!!!!!

Plateau The states fiscal transparency league table assesses the Nigerian states based on the availability, timeliness, and completeness of key public finance documents, functional e-procurement portals, and state fiscal data repositories #TheCableIndex

Who built the civilized societies abroad we're escaping to? People wanting to return to where they belong, where they feel at home, where their work has meaning and can contribute to building their own civilization are scarcely the strange ones imo.

I am looking for an experienced executive recruiter in Nigeria to support hiring for a small number of 0–1 leadership roles spanning technology, innovation policy, applied research, and programme development. If this is you, or you can recommend someone credible, please DM.

I believe safety is important, but we must distinguish between two very different narratives: The "Sci-Fi" Narrative: Stories about AI controlling the world, having "feelings," or possessing secret intelligence designed to fool us. Too often, the research in this narrative is used for PR or as an excuse to stifle open-source research. The Engineering Reality: How do we build systems that are robust and hard to break? As Yann points out, current LLMs rely on post-training for safety, which is inherently fragile and can always be jailbroken. He argues for "Objective-Driven AI, which means systems that satisfy safety constraints by construction, similar to how a jet engine is engineered to handle stress. I agree with Yann that patching models with fine-tuning isn't the long-term solution. However, the practical path to embedding these hard "guardrails" into a reasoning agent is still a massive open question. We know what we need, but we haven't figured out how to build it effectively in practice.

@allenakinkunle @WaleAkinfaderin Certain circles ko lmao. Ogbeni shift

@WaleAkinfaderin Fam, I used to lead spirit-filled praise and worship sessions in church. I'm also called the Nigerian Fabinho in certain circles. Please stop hating 😂

If Allen is talking about AI and being an incredible engineer, scientist, or entrepreneur, I definitely agree. But you see his attempts at music and playing football, nah 😂😂😂

Hello! I recently started a Master's of Research in Medical Genetics program at @UniofNewcastle. I am thankful for all the support that made this possible, and hopeful for a year that's even more fulfilling than the past few weeks have been. Here's to growth and discovery.

@olucurious @kehers @allenakinkunle Lmao haba na.

@olucurious @kehers @allenakinkunle see!

@allenakinkunle Visit Newcastle a few more times!

Hey, so this is crazy, but I'm craving a PhD

I guess Africa’s just one giant cave

@allenakinkunle O rude😂

I believe I'm talking to human beings????

@OluwamayowaTJ @NorthumbriaUni @thecableng @AFPFactCheck @X @CDDWestAfrica Wishing you the best of the journey, Mayowa

In March 2024, I began my PhD journey at @NorthumbriaUni, focusing on Artificial Intelligence in Journalism. Working at @thecableng, @AFPFactCheck, @X, and @CDDWestAfrica gave me firsthand experience of how synthetic media reshapes truth, trust, and democracy. 🧵

@AO1379 😂

Today is a day of typos! Pleased not please. Must be hunger because I’m typing like someone who didn’t pass through Mrs Duncan at Staff School.

I’m quite please with the progress on our Ring Road, Ado-Ifaki, Ikere-Igbarado and the flyover. All going to plan, to be delivered in 2025.

@allenakinkunle Ogbeni!
