Stanford grads walk out as Google CEO Sundar Pichai takes the stage as commencement speaker. No mention of AI, unlike other uni speakers getting booed down this year. Story for @sfgate shortly

We are banning social media access for under 16s. These days kids must find their feet in a world where technology intrudes into every area of their life. I just can’t let that go on anymore. So we’re giving children their childhoods back.

Countries that reduced mob justice (India, Kenya, South Africa) did three things: 1. Fast‑response community police within 10 minutes of every village. 2. Public execution of mob leaders (deterrent effect is real). 3. Compensation funds for victims’ families paid by the local district – creates pressure on leaders to prevent mobs. Uganda has none of these. We have arrests. We have outrage. We have another funeral. Then we repeat. Until we copy what works, mob justice will kill more Sydneys. Retweet if you’ve had enough.

The AI craze and vibe coding are making a lot of people realize something: the hard part was never getting the idea coded. Building a commercially successful digital product takes far more than code.

PUBLIC ALERT ‼️ Theft situation around Jinja Road traffic lights mainly is getting out of hand and somehow it’s starting to look normal The moment the lights turn red and cars stop, groups of like 3 thugs move between vehicles targeting side mirrors and car grille in traffic jam. This mostly happens around 4am-7am and again 5pm-8pm almost every single day. I’ve personally been a victim of this twice while heading home. I’ve also witnessed a Range Rover driver get his grille pulled off in traffic jam in the evening. Right there in front of everyone. Multiple times too. If you’re lucky, they only take the mirror glass. Worst case, they remove the whole side mirror, mostly on the co-driver side. Cars mostly targeted are Subaru Imprezas, Range Rover grilles, Mercedes Benz mirrors with lane assist, Harrier Kawundos grilles and more. Please be cautious. Engrave or label your mirrors with your plate number, and Libiti em Keep your windows up, and central lock your car while in traffic. Security authorities we need your help this is getting ridiculous. Please tag em.

AI Tokens could actually be the next "Airtime" for Telecoms. Token mirror the same pay-as-you-go model that consumers are used to with airtime and mobile data. That's a potential revenue tap waiting to be harnessed in the AI era.
