3-year-old: "Green light, go! Red light, stop! Yellow light, slowww... Purple light, dance party!" Kids should do the urban planning.
I am so grateful for all the people I have gotten to know during this trajectory, and I want to say a huge thank you to everyone involved, and everyone who supported me during this trajectory. I could not have done it without you...
I did it!! On June 24th, I successfully defended my PhD thesis called 'Mundane Disruption. (Un)Learning technologies in Kibera' at the department of Social and Cultural Anthropology at KU Leuven, a thesis written under the generous guidance of prof. dr. Filip De Boeck.
A huge thank you to everyone who made this possible! And thank you @AfricaIai for having me!
My article on digital technology, self-directed learning and ‘YouTube University’ in Kibera, Nairobi. Based on my PhD on digital learning, and ‘majority technologies’, digital technologies that function in contexts vastly different from elite worlds.

What we see with #AI is basically Move Fast and Break Things on steroids. Companies rush to release anything they can label as AI without appropriate tests or risk assessments, simply because if you are among the first to announce the product you can market it well. Unsustainable
According to @TechCrunch’s @alex “The best way to avoid a down round is to found an #AI startup” In other words: usually AI discussions are very much about (and very good for) marketing and fundraising, rather than substance... techcrunch.com/2023/05/06/ai-…

Can't quite believe I'm writing this: Today, 150 African workers behind ChatGPT, TikTok and Facebook voted to unionize at a landmark meeting in Nairobi. These AI workers are invisible, underpaid, and the backbone of the tech in all our pockets: time.com/6275995/chatgp…
