Hi women, can you post pictures or talk about your academic achievements? I need some motivation this month. If you see this tweet, share it so women can see it.

Europe 2031 just dropped. A five-year scenario of our continent's slide into AI irrelevance, by Judith Dada & the people who advised European leaders. It’s pretty dystopian. But it doesn't have to end where it ends. A few weeks ago I sat down with Judith in front of the Acropolis, birthplace of Western civilization, to find out what it takes to make Europe into a global AI powerhouse. Judith Dada is one of the sharpest voices on Europe, AI, and what needs to happen next. She is a GP at Visionaries Club, runs Relativity Collective, writes one of the best blogs on AI and Europe. The numbers she lays out are brutal. Europe has 5% of global compute. The US has 80%. Europe is 25% of global GDP. That math ain’t mathing. So we talked about the hard trade-offs: - Why Europe shouldn't try to rebuild every layer of the stack from day one, but instead own a few choke points where the world can't circumvent us, and use that leverage to build the rest over time. - Why we need the second-best AI labs here even if they never become number one, because those teams spawn the next generation of companies that do AI for medicine, energy, research. - And why the real problem isn't regulation or paper trails. It's that not enough people in Europe have had their wake-up moment yet. Her bet on fixing it: get the best young people across Europe to know each other from the youngest age. Exposure to ambition breeds ambition. It's the single most powerful force anyone can experience. Full conversation in the video. Filmed where it all started. 🦾🇪🇺

I saw this comment yesterday, and I'll say this is a disingenous tweet.
Sim Shagaya sneezes and venture capital enters his pocket. I’ve known that egbon since I was in school. Why I'm not sure he has built any company that actually scaled, he sure knows how to raise for his next venture.

Most enterprise AI pilots fail before they start. Here's why. The question enterprises ask first. "Can your AI handle our customers without embarrassing us?" That's a reasonable question meant to challenge the risk of hallucination. But it's the wrong starting point. It focuses on the AI's capability in isolation, when the real risk is integration failure, not model failure. Every enterprise we've spoken to, banks, microfinance institutions, travel companies, government agencies has the same underlying problem: their data is fragmented across 5, 6, sometimes 8 disconnected systems. CRM in one place. Transaction data in another. Complaints in a third. No single source of truth. Most AI vendors walk away at that point. Or they ask you to consolidate your data first, that's a 12-18 month project before you see a single result. That's not a technology problem. It's a deployment nightmare. The enterprises moving fastest aren't waiting for perfect infrastructure. They're running narrow, high-value pilots against the systems they already have. Here's the framework we've seen work: - We Pick one workflow, Dormant customer reactivation. Card pickup notifications. Fraud confirmation routing. One workflow with clear success criteria. - Measure what the business already cares about. Not "AI accuracy" but call completion rate, conversion lift, cost per resolved interaction. - No cost until success criteria are met. This removes procurement risk and forces both sides to define what "working" actually means. We recently ran this with a Nigerian Tier 1 bank. Their challenge: no consolidated CRM, data spread across six systems. We connected all six within milliseconds, no infrastructure overhaul required. The pilot is now moving to a full commercial engagement. The same pattern has played out with a microfinance institution managing 70 licensed branches, a state government automating traffic violation collections, and an aviation company rethinking international customer communications. The common thread: none of them started with a big transformation agenda. They started with one problem, one workflow, and a 90-day window to prove it. If you're a CTO, COO, or Head of Innovation evaluating AI for customer operations, I'd be interested in a 30-minute conversation about where your highest-friction workflow is. Not a demo. A diagnostic. What's the one process your team handles manually today that, if automated, would have the clearest business case? Watch how I broke down a traffic automation deployment attached below.

Our statement on the UK government’s demand that all content on all devices sold or used in the country be scanned, on the presumption of nudity, using a dystopian combination of age verification and content scanning. This proposal will not safeguard children. It endangers us all. signal.org/blog/pdfs/2026-06…

If you are a founder, 996 is literally your lifestyle. Anything else, I’m not sure how you are staying on top of it all. I’m not promoting this lifestyle but I’ve struggled to take a full weekend off in a very long time. I literally work from the hour I woke up until I go to bed. I

Second @StartupGrindLD Founders Dinner of the year. This time we partnered with Wilson Sonsini — the firm that’s helped ElevenLabs, Monzo, Attio, and 2,000 UK/EU companies navigate US expansion, fundraising, and exit. If you’re building from London and thinking about the US, this is the table to be at. June 18 · London luma.com/8bculzz8

All personnel are accounted for and safe. It’s too early to know the root cause but we’re already working to find it. Very rough day, but we’ll rebuild whatever needs rebuilding and get back to flying. It’s worth it.

Someone in my Bible study group tonight asked a question that just sat heavy on my heart: “If God is good, why does He allow children to be kidnapped in Nigeria? What should we do as Christians?” In Nigeria, reports are saying there's been 2.2 million kidnapping incidents in a year and about ₦2.2 trillion drained from ordinary people as ransom. It’s not theory for us. It’s our country, our kids, our roads.

We know that our prayer doesn’t magically erase the headlines tomorrow. Infact these wicked folks might be planning another attack right now. But it does at least three things: 1. It keeps our hearts from going numb. We refuse to normalise kidnapping as “just Nigeria happening to them”. 2. It calls on God’s power into places we cannot physically reach. Into forests, camps, palaces, bank accounts, WhatsApp groups. 3. It often becomes the way God recruits us. - Some will fund rescue and rehab work through donations. - Some will push for real security and justice reform through advocacy and active political participation. - Some will carry the emotional weight of walking with traumatised families. James calls that “pure and undefiled religion”: to care for orphans and widows in their distress (James 1:27).

We are currently stuck, for now, in the gap between what God allows and what God has promised. In that gap, children are abducted, ransoms are being paid, Churches are being burnt and torn down, politicians play games, and heaven can feel quiet. But the story doesn’t end with there for us. The God who calls Himself Father to the fatherless and Judge of the oppressor and Defender of the weak is not going to let kidnapping have the last word over Nigerian children. Until justice is served, we can - - Keep asking our hard questions honestly. - Keep crying out for the kidnapped. - Keep asking God, “How do You want me to stand with the weak here and now?” - And refuse to agree with the lie that evil men are in charge of the future of this great nation.
