For my birthday this year I’m hosting an Arsenal watch party for the Carabao Cup final during my birthday weekend. Arsenal make me proud o, but either way excited to be playing in the final and making more memories with Arsenal ❤️.

I want to build a bible presentation AI agent for church use. Imagine Bible verses coming up on screen as the Pastor preaches just based on what he’s talking about or his paraphrases and quotes. I want to build this completely in public, starting today. Thoughts?

There's a hidden tax on every knowledge worker in the world, and nobody talks about it: The design tax. You're a strategist, a sales lead, a marketer. You were hired for what you know. But every meeting, every pitch, every proposal expects you to show up with something that looks like a designer made it. I lived this. Before Gamma, I spent time in consulting and investment banking. I spent more hours formatting slides than the analysis that went into them. When my cofounders and I started Gamma, we asked: what if you never had to be a designer in the first place? Five years and nearly 100 million users later, we've refunded billions of hours of the design tax. Today, we're eliminating it for good with our biggest launch ever. Gamma Imagine — a powerful, AI-native visual creation tool directly in Gamma. Posters, logos, infographics, visuals from a single prompt. On brand, every time. AI-Native Templates. Templates were supposed to save you from design work. Instead you spent the time filling them in. So we completely rebuilt the template experience. Modify a whole deck with a single prompt, with your brand and style intact every time. Gamma Connectors. You're already thinking in ChatGPT and Claude. Now Gamma sits inside the most popular work apps in the world. No more context-switching. You were hired for your ideas, not to resize text boxes. Let Gamma pay the design tax.

On a flight and there’s a kid who’s been screaming for the last 15 minutes. Lots of passengers making faces at the parents. Before you do that, just remember, the parents are having a 100x worse time than you are. Guaranteed. Put in some headphones and relax.

The Southeast Maths Olympiad winner returns to Diamond College Owerri to a warm and proud welcome from his school.

Bro, this is wrong. Lengthening the feedback distance between humans and AIs is not a good thing for the world. Today, it means you're generating slop instead of solving useful problems for people. It's not even well-optimized for helping people have fun. Once AI becomes powerful enough to be truly dangerous, it's maximizing the risk of an irreversible anti-human outcome that even you will deeply regret. The point of ethereum is to set *us* free, not to create something else that goes off and does some stuff freely while our own situation is unchanged or worsened. (And, as others have pointed out, the models are run by openai and anthropic, so the thing is not even "self-sovereign"; you're actually perpetuating the mentality that centralized trust assumptions can be put in a corner and ignored, the very mentality that ethereum is at war with) The exponential will happen regardless of what any of us do, that's precisely why this era's primary task is NOT to make the exponential happen even faster, but rather to choose its direction, and avoid collapse into undesirable attractors.

At the end of the day, the technology will be commoditised, models will converge in capability, and only good design will be the differentiator. We are accelerating into a future where this will be undeniable.

Every African should grow up reading stories set in their own landscape. Not Narnia or Hogwarts. The forests of Ọṣogbo. The markets of Kumasi. The shores of Zanzibar. Our imagination deserves our own geography.

In 2007, Nollywood filmmaker Teco Benson was upset that the Leonardo DiCaprio film, Blood Diamond, was a copyright infringement of his Nigerian film, Blood Diamonds. Both stories centred on the blood diamond trade in Sierra Leone. Benson's film (starring Hanks Anuku, Rita Dominic, Lanre Balogun and Shan George) was shot in Sierra Leone and released a couple of years before the Oscar-nominated Hollywood film. He said, "I'm seriously angry with them now, because I respected them more than what they've just done to me. But I can tell you that I'm going to take this up." How the dispute was resolved remains unclear.
