I would like to engage with you on this, but let's clarify a few points before we go further. Which of these best captures your claim: Yoruba is a recent identity because... a) The people known as Yoruba today do not belong to the same cultural continuum. b) They do belong to the same cultural continuum, but were never a single political unit until recently c) They never had a collective name for themselves until recently d) None of the above (Some explanation will be appreciated)

The first three slides are literally you making my point for me: 1. British colonialism forging disparate kingdoms into the same political identity. 2. The adoption of that identity for nationalistic purposes by educated Yoruba freed slaves in Sierra Leone. +

Andrew Ng@AndrewYNg·
There will be no AI jobpocalypse. The story that AI will lead to massive unemployment is stoking unnecessary fear. AI — like any other technology — does affect jobs, but telling overblown stories of large-scale unemployment is irresponsible and damaging. Let’s put a stop to it. I’ve expressed skepticism about the jobpocalypse in previous posts. I’m glad to see that the popular press is now pushing back on this narrative. The image below features some recent headlines. Software engineering is the sector most affected by AI tools, as coding agents race ahead. Yet hiring of software engineers remains strong! So while there are examples of AI taking away jobs, the trends strongly suggest the net job creation is vastly greater than the job destruction — just like earlier waves of technology. Further, despite all the exciting progress in AI, the U.S. unemployment rate remains a healthy 4.3%. Why is the AI jobpocalypse narrative so popular? For one thing, frontier AI labs have a strong incentive to tell stories that make AI technology sound more powerful. At their most extreme, they promote science-fiction scenarios of AI “taking over” and causing human extinction. If a technology can replace many employees, surely that technology must be very valuable! Also, a lot of SaaS software companies charge around $100-$1000 per user/year. But if an AI company can replace an employee who makes $100,000 — or make them 50% more productive — then charging even $10,000 starts to look reasonable. By anchoring not to typical SaaS prices but to salaries of employees, AI companies can charge a lot more. Additionally, businesses have a strong incentive to talk about layoffs as if they were caused by AI. After all, talking about how they’re using AI to be far more productive with fewer staff makes them look smart. This is a better message than admitting they overhired during the pandemic when capital was abundant due to low interest rates and a massive government financial stimulus. To be clear, I recognize that AI is causing a lot of people’s work to change. This is hard. This is stressful. (And to some, it can be fun.) I empathize with everyone affected. At the same time, this is very different from predicting a collapse of the job market. Societies are capable of telling themselves stories for years that have little basis in reality and lead to poor society-wide decision making. For example, fears over nuclear plant safety led to under-investment in nuclear power. Fears of the “population bomb” in the 1960s led countries to implement harsh policies to reduce their populations. And worries about dietary fat led governments to promote unhealthy high-sugar diets for decades. Now that mainstream media is openly skeptical about the jobpocalypse, I hope these stories will start to lose their teeth (much like fears of AI-driven human extinction have). Contrary to the predictions of an AI jobpocalypse, I predict the opposite: There will be an AI jobapalooza! AI will lead to a lot more good AI engineering jobs, and I’m also optimistic about the future of the overall job market. What AI engineers do will be different from traditional software engineering, and many of these jobs will be in businesses other than traditional large employers of developers. In non-AI roles, too, the skills needed will change because of AI. That makes this a good time to encourage more people to become proficient in AI, and make sure they’re ready for the different but plentiful jobs of the future!

Some claims are ludicrous. To assert that the Fodiawa jihad was not a conquest of the Hausas is one of the most ahistorical arguments one could make. The fact that the jihad’s proponents invoked religious motives does not erase the reality that it also served as a vehicle for Fulani ascendancy. When you dispossess people of their land, redistribute it among your own or supporters, create a system that reduces them to second-class citizenship, and take liberties to violate their daughters and wives, as occurred in parts of the so-called caliphate, then what else is that but conquest? The problem with much of the writing on the jihad is its adulatory tone, with most accounts produced either by Fulani authors or scholars sympathetic to their cause. When these are compared with rare manuscripts written by non-Fulani, a different picture emerges. One example is the work of the Kano scholar Alhaji Umaru, cited in the attached text. His manuscript describes how the Fulani employed herdsmen-style terror (using war horses and cattle to trample the agricultural fields of Hausa farmers - sounds familiar, right?) and how the rape of Hausa women became habitual. Even if one hesitates to call this a caliphate-sanctioned practise, the practices were so widespread and institutionalized that the Kebbi Hausas launched multiple uprisings against Fulani rule. I'm neither for nor against the Hausa Zalla movement. The annals of human history are littered with conquest and subjugation, and the Fodiawa jihad is no exception. What I do support, however, is this: the reclaiming of Hausa historical agency and the challenging of narratives that have long glorified the conquerors while hiding behind a deceptive hyphenated identity must not be denied to the people.

Ɗanfodio himself called it conquest, Nana Asma’u (Ɗanhodio’s Daughter) called it Fulani conquest, Alamin Elkanemi compared it to Khawarij ideology (terrorism) but a 21st century idiot “Ɗan Borno” in order to stop Hausa Nationalism calls it “transformation from within” 😂
Dan Borno@Dan_Yarwa

The Fulani pastoralists settled among Hausa communities, adopted the Hausa language, and intermarried for generations. The Sokoto Jihad of 1804, led by the Fulani cleric Usman Dan Fodio, did not conquer Hausaland as foreigner, it reformed it from within, establishing a ⬇️
