Israel’s new Ebola travel restrictions include Kenya, despite the country having ZERO confirmed cases. Ministry of health you have draggged us into this unjustified blow on tourism sector.

Like him or not, @elonmusk is the greatest entrepreneur of our time. No one on earth has done what he has accomplished so far.

When capable and thoughtful people withdraw from politics, we end up being ruled by idiots and fools.

Yesterday on Kenyatta Avenue, on my way to Community, I witnessed over 15 motorbikes, each with 2 people, robbing pedestrians and motorists in broad daylight... It was scary... Women screaming, others with kids, and I think, this is getting out of hand. They did this all the way to Valley Arcade I think... Is this the new normal in Nairobi? I saw a street preacher being snatched of his phone and some few coins...

For the sake of billboard visibility, trees cannot thrive. With so many billboards being planted, trees are felled or heavily pruned to keep advertisements visible. The cost of this growing advertising culture is being paid by our urban trees. @KeNHAKenya

. @JohnMbadiN, this youth says that you dispatched them to disrupt a meeting at All Saints Cathedral that was scrutinizing the budget you presented yesterday. Mbadi, you cannot distance yourself from this attack by the goons. You must take responsibility for your actions and for those of the goons who acted at your behest. Public participation and scrutiny of the national budget are our democratic rights.

State-hired goons have stormed a meeting where the KHRC and other CSOs were discussing the 2026-2027 budget that was presented yesterday. One of the assailants was arrested and said he was sent by a government official. Some valuables, including a phone, were stolen during the incident. The civil society held this meeting at All Saints Cathedral in Nairobi to assess how well the budget addressed citizen concerns. We condemn this act of intimidation and assert that it will not deter us from scrutinizing the budget. We will continue to demand that it put the interests of the people at front and center.

Everyone says the latest AI agents will be "job-ready" soon, especially after the release of Fable 5 this week. But is that really the case? Over the past many months, my group and collaborators have been building Agents' Last Exam (ALE), a benchmark designed to test exactly that claim on real digital labor-market work. My group and collaborators previously have created many of the benchmarks the field runs on, including MMLU, MATH, CyberGym, and ExploitGym. Today, I'm excited to share Agents' Last Exam (ALE): a rolling benchmark that measures whether AI agents can actually perform economically valuable work across a broad range of real-world domains. With ALE, we evaluated Fable 5, GPT-5.5, Composer 2.5, and other frontier agent systems across more than 1,500 expert-sourced tasks spanning 55 occupations. The result is both impressive and sobering. Today's agents can solve a meaningful fraction of professional tasks. But when we look at the hardest tasks, the ones requiring sustained reasoning, deep domain expertise, and reliable execution over long horizons, they are still far from human-level performance. On ALE's hardest tier, every frontier agent we tested, including Fable 5, achieved a 0% success rate. The age of useful agents is here. The age of truly job-ready agents is not. We hope Agents' Last Exam (ALE) will serve as a new guidepost and north star for developing agents capable of reliably performing economically valuable work across a broad range of domains. 🧡

Underperformance in revenue has a cause. Deal with that. And tame State (House) appetite, wastage, and corruption! Not very complicated, really, @JohnMbadiN
CS John Mbadi: There is no easy budget. This year’s budget is even more challenging because it is informed by a major external shock, underperformance in revenue collection and rising inflation

SpaceX, Anthropic, & OpenAI are racing toward public listings at valuations of over USD 3 trillion It's difficult to predict whether these companies will remain profitable over the long term Cheaper open-source models like DeepSeek are rapidly catching up in terms of capability

Article 129 of our Constitution provides:- 129. (1) Executive authority derives from the people of Kenya and shall be exercised in accordance with this Constitution. (2) Executive authority shall be exercised in a manner compatible with the principle of service to the people of Kenya, and for their well-being and benefit. Mr. President, your authority derives from the people of Kenya and must be exercised by you for their well-being and benefit. They have said a loud NO to this American Ebola Centre at Nanyuki. There are Court Orders halting its construction. Three peaceful demonstrators have now been shot dead by the police. Mr. President, you’re in manifest violation of this Article, of the Court Orders, of the Right to Life and of Peaceful Demonstrations.

The Japanese Meteorological Agency becomes the first major weather body to formally call the onset of El NiΓ±o phenomenon in the Pacific. It's the first El NiΓ±o in three years, and some forecaster expect to be one of the strongest ever. jma.go.jp/jma/press/2606/10b…
