The point that a lot of people miss about online conversations:
Conversations here do not aim to ENACT a new way of living. It's just different people coughing out their idiosyncrasies.
And you will do well to ask questions that unearth their biases than attacking anyone.
I see the other side of this quote clearly. The non-technical bit.
At this point, it is good to conclude that anything that can be done on a computer/online/ browser/app can be done by AI / AI Agents.
It is reasonable to start with that assumption and then see where it fails, rather than starting with the assumption of limitations.
That’s an incredible run in under 3 years!
I will share under this now some things that I can on what I’m using AI for.
I had Claude redesign my website homepage. All I did of course was give it instructions. I like the update.

Be Relatable
Who do we clap for? It’s not the person who exerted the least effort and received the highest award. Nor is it the person who tried once and succeeded on the first attempt.
We clap for those who achieved the highest award after giving it their all. We clap for those who had to try a hundred times before finally getting that one win.
Why do we applaud the latter and not the former? Because one is relatable, and the other is not. We know the former is not the norm. In fact, we’re often quick to attribute their success to luck. The latter, on the other hand, represents a journey we’re not only familiar with, but one many of us are currently on. And so, we relate. We appreciate. We clap.
With that in mind, I challenge you to be relatable. Yes, you’ve had 80 failures—keep going, because that is exactly what’s normal. You’ve tried again and again and seen no deserved result—try once more, because that’s the process everyone who eventually wins must go through.
We have come a very long way from GPT-3!
At the heart of this change and transformation will be GPT-3. You can fight this reality.
GPT-3 is an open source product of @OpenAI.
So far the technology is only available to a select few and has it wrote in its blog, GTP-3 will power next generation applications.
Congratulations to all!

What @_deyemi has done to the timeline is very good. I’m not sure what people think winning takes; it takes a lot, a whole lot of doing the uncomfortable things, and getting no after no.
Be relatable.

Take it for granted that the default response you’d get to most requests is a no. So no single "no" can surprise you. /1
In that case then, you approach each request with the view to turn the default “no” into a yes. /2
For most requests, by most of us, all we need is a single “yes.” More than one yes often means we then have to say no to a yes. Therefore, the sequence in 1 and 2 above is really only iterative until a single yes.
Very good. 👍🏾

Bamboo appears to be into the business of remittances now.
And like Risevest, they also now have a business offering (I think they’ve had the business offering for a while though).
If one focuses on correcting the sins of humans, one would spend literally all one’s time doing so, for humans never run out of clever, creative ways to sin.
What I would rather focus on is a much simpler message: You must be born again.
Because once you are born again, the nature that constantly finds creative ways to sin is removed, and a new nature, one that is completely focused on pleasing God, no matter the personal sacrifice, including the cutting off of your right hand and the plucking out of your eyes, is planted in you and begins to grow.
1. Romans 1:24 — God gave them up to uncleanness.
2. Romans 1:26 — God gave them up to vile affections.
3. Romans 1:28 — God gave them over to a reprobate mind.

Looking forward to what the 2026 would come out to. A working Nigeria is good for all.
Nigeria’s manufacturing sector added 81,174 jobs in 2025, more than double the 34,769 jobs created in 2024, marking a 133.47 percent year-on-year increase despite a sharp slowdown in the second half...

At this point, I no longer care about model advances, at least not so much.
1. For most of the use cases that I have, a combination of Astra 6.1 and Opus 5.5, both on medium, and Astra on fast, is more than excellent.
2. Even for those, I’m yet to fully explore or appreciate their capabilities.
If I wanted something more, it would be speed, just because why not.
This is, however, not to say the labs should stop pushing the edges; they should, absolutely.
One of the things I want to do is have a (digital) product that I can use to experiment with some of this use cases. I’m really curious and I might yet do it.
