You're 21. You just graduated top of your class from an elite university, ten years of grinding at school behind you. Top 0.1%. Now you need a job. You're ambitious but not reckless. You'd like what your boomer parents had by the end of their twenties: a decent family home, in a part of town with schools you'd want to send your kids to, room to start a family. Modest, by the standards they bought it at. Here's the economics. In London, where the best jobs are, that house is north of two million. That's a 500k deposit, before you've paid a penny of school fees or thought about actually living. So how does a 28-year-old get to half a million in liquid savings? Post tax. Realistically, very few doors: investment banking, trading, a magic circle law firm, maybe private equity. And even then you need to get though brutal admissions, be a top performer every year, be a bit lucky, and do 80 to 100 hour weeks for years, in a job that isn't really fulfilling. The alternative is to do something the world needs more of, engineer, architect, doctor, teacher, and accept the family home is off the table, probably for good. So unless you've got other means of support, that's the apparent trade-off. I was there myself, and chose to grind it out for eight years so I could buy my first home. At the time I felt I didn't have a choice. In hindsight I should have gone straight into building something of my own. People worry about AI creating a permanent underclass. Look at the options a top graduate has today and we're sort of already there. The system's broken, and people want something better.
Kenya is now the largest milk producing country in Africa
Glad it counted anon! Let's stay winning ⚡
@ETHSafari That sit down with @BasedKago I know he doesn't remember but big ups for that talk
The use of Acoustic weapons on protestors should worry every Kenyan, since a State that can test painful sound on citizens today can test worse things tomorrow. Kenyans are yet to realize what they are dealing with.
Before crypto was mainstream, @gozie606 was already deep in the rabbit hole. Here's how that mid 2010s discovery set him on the path to building @LEDiG_Tech on Base.

How can Artificial Intelligence, autonomous machinery, and verifiable data systems transform agriculture and help farmers adapt to a changing climate? ⅓
@Antugrow ..the future of food lies at the intersection of technology, data, & human ingenuity; and it must leave no farmer behind.
A National Addressing System (NAS) is a standardized framework that gives every property, street and public facility a clear, verifiable official address. The identifiers can be integrated into postal, emergency and digital systems.
Thanks John for an extraordinary partnership and wonderful collaboration over the past 9 years! What we achieved with AlphaFold changed the world, and showed the field what was possible with AI for science and medicine, lighting the way for how AI can benefit humanity.
A bit of news: After nearly 9 years, I have decided to leave Google DeepMind and join Anthropic (after taking some time to recharge). I am incredibly grateful for my time at GDM. @demishassabis took a real chance letting me lead the AlphaFold team just six months after finishing
