A startup is launching a surprisingly good electric motorcycle, Zeno Emara, that costs just $1,000. It is targeting markets in AFRICA and India.
Horrific.
The spoils of prejudice and unfettered delusions of supremacy.
May we remember them with humility and a commitment to fight against the repetition of such horrors.
In a world full of health and nutrition problems as well societal conflict . . .
We are solving for “accent removal” with AI.
This is how I know we are not in any danger of using tech to solves our most pressing problems.
Only a small fraction of Africans (27%) who have access to the internet go online at all. They have coverage, they have phones, but they’re offline. Why?
Nigeria is famously home to five unicorns: Moniepoint, Flutterwave, OPay, Interswitch and Andela.

I try hard not to stress when I see construction crew putting back their beer with lunch here in Portugal.
There are cranes everywhere in the Lisbon metro, hopefully some sort of breathalyser is required to operate heavy machinery.
I’m sure it’s fine. I am NOT going to look up the HSE data 🐇 🕳️
I’m not a anti-AI but . . .
I see a market in the future for “humans only” spaces.
Where we can go to think without AI intrusion and hijacking.
So many BYD cars on the road here in the Lisbon metro. Also seeing more of them on the ride hailing apps lately.
You can definitely see the numbers shift in real time.
You did a great job. It’s a complex issue.
Just wanted to share Khaya’s take as I’ve appreciated his thinking on this issue too :)
I feel like Khaya’s post on this matter should be more widely distributed.

David Lewis LinkedIn Post : The image Donald Trump flashed in his meeting with #SouthAfrica's President Ramaphosa - claiming it was white farmers being buried - was in fact a screenshot of a Reuters video taken in #Congo, where aid workers were moving body bags after battles in the city of #Goma. My colleague Al Katanty sabiti Djaffar filmed the images. "In view of all the world, President Trump used my image, used what I filmed in DRC to try to convince President Ramaphosa that in his country, white people are being killed by Black people," he said.
Let’s see how quickly or slowly this correction will trudge around the world.
Will it provoke reflection and outrage on the lack of attention to loss of lives in Congo (where the image actually comes from)? If not why not?

Oh my goodness. This really is a thing.
I feel myself falling into a rabbit hole here. . .

What🤯.
I'm so over 2025.
This will end in tears.
Can we stop this bus. I'd like to get off.
This is how I know we are not in any danger of using tech to solves our most pressing problems.
The gap between what the world needs and what we’re building is significant.
Parabéns!
In a groundbreaking discovery that has sent shockwaves through the scientific community, researchers working in the remote regions of the DR Congo have reportedly encountered what they’re describing as an “electric pangolin” 1/2
Repeating a lie - amplifies it. Puts it into peoples psyche. The liar wins. This is known as "illusory truth effect"
Amplify the truth. With receipts.
It travels slower and always needs more help.
Indeed. Nature abhors a vacuum.
But in the wise words of Sankara “he who feeds you controls you”.
Let’s buckle up. The 2020s are not for the faint of heart.
“Four years ago, Nvidia had 95% market share in China. Today, it is only 50 %” - Jensen Huang
The CEO of Nvidia has criticized the AI policies of both Biden and Trump for limiting chip exports to China.
He believes this hasn’t slowed China down but has instead spurred local innovators like Huawei.
Coal’s share of China’s electricity mix fell to 52% in April, from 57% a year before, according to CREA.
In the first four months of 2025, solar and wind have made up 24% of China's electricity mix, from 19% a year before.
Where there is a gap, it will be filled. The consequences will come, but for now, this influx of cash is a vital lifeline for the #WHO. We do, however, know that there's no free lunch, and this money comes with more influence for China 🤷🏽♀️

She’s amazing 😂👏🏽.
. . . Naming her fears, befriending them then disappearing them.
Sounds like what they’ve been telling all of us to do and I see nothing but success ahead for this one 🐐.
