Zimbabweans don't know how to lay low (@KingKandoro)

Have you guys realized that all these inspiration platforms are actually taking advantage of designers, builders and companies by charging people to access work they had absolutely nothing to do with creating?
The worst part is that they even offer to let people remix that work with AI.
Sure, anyone can visit a website and get inspired, but turning someone else's work into a paid library and then offering AI remixes of it?
I'm not into this. At all.

Our TPUs just phoned home... from space.
ICYMI, on October 1, we sent four TPUs into orbit to test whether our AI hardware could operate in space. The initial goal was to see if our chips could turn on, process a prompt, and transmit a response back to Earth.
This week, we got our answer. ✨
This milestone brings us one step closer to understanding if space-based compute is possible. We’re sending two more TPU-equipped satellites to orbit in 2027 for our next milestone.
Watch this space 👀 and learn more about the first milestone of our long-term moonshot with Project Suncatcher ↓

The “Whataboutists” sitting in UK etc will quote tweet and be mad that he dared said the quiet part out loud. If you see the comment on this from black South Africans , they have been primed by your cashtivists to believe Zimbabwe is Mogadishu. ITS NOT. It has Many problems that need citizens to solve it but it’s not the war zone they paint to keep their dole cheques coming.
We are not the same on these timeline. Many are at work. Ndezvebasa.

Last week in Cologne I showed how you can use the GitHub Copilot App and Foundry to build an agent you can deploy across Teams, Outlook or an app of your choice.
I also showed how you can integrate our new Decision 1 model for intent classification. I'm interested in agents that can recognise intent and then take action independetly if they decide they can be helpful, so this was fun to show!

Your job is to eat the pain.
@aarondfrancis taught us all that pain doesn't disappear. Someone eats the pain. The questions is "Who will eat it? You or your customer?"
Or as Aaron put it, "Be the sin eater."

You honestly cant save Framer template creators from themselves... Their time in the safety of the v1 marketplace has completely warped their realities.
