Nigerians – Here Is The Moment, #Vote

0

I wish they captured Atiku in this photo also (taken within the last 7 days). Yes, that is it: Obi, Atiku and Tinubu are not enemies. While they are competitors today, it means really nothing for you to cause problems in your community. I will be unable to vote since INEC has not offered us that opportunity. 

As an investor, if I see this as investing in startups which basically means the future, Obi will get my money. But this goes beyond Obi; I want to see a new political system  – yes, a new business model – with a new mindset. I have seen PDP. I have seen APC. And both have not thrilled me: I will like a new business model in the market. That is what startups do: if the current model is not working, try something new.

Tinubu is an amazing man when it comes to visioning; give it to him. Atiku has laurels; he is very strategic. Obi has an enterprising spirit with an emergent mindset. No matter who wins, one will hope they can come together as CITIZENS to advance Nigeria. And part of that advancement is breaking unhealthy structures (built by cabals and party kingpins) which continue to push Nigeria down.

INEC – this is your moment; serve the nation. To President Buhari, I commend you for providing a platform for these men to move around the nation fairly freely. Nigerians: kudos and now #vote

Dependency on Start to Finish

0

Younger people often look forward to the light at the end of the tunnel, but it gets harder and harder to get there. Everything that is terrible requires time to adapt and study; nothing good comes naturally. It sometimes feels like the problem is worse in the morning when you’re trying to figure out how to proceed or what to do while acquiring computer skills (code), and you’re also becoming upset trying to seek financial support from family to fund an undefined dream. Every time I have a problem, I distribute it to my computer’s new skills to fix (coding).

I’m Clinton Chidera, and I’m not writing this to give you the impression that I’m successful or that I’ve already met the requirements for advancement in the world. Because there is a significant decision to be made, it might be difficult to make the appropriate decision in life. This difficulty is somewhat comparable to opportunity cost. Human life is intricate and challenging, especially if you approach it from a place of ignorance and believe you can complete it on your own without the help of a third party. Human growth is an alternative to VPS; in order to access the VPS, a membership must be purchased.

The process of completing it is what characterizes it as a life project. Every day of our lives, we plan and suggest the appropriate root to complete an action without hesitation. Reaching the traditional moment to climb the moment requires a lengthy effort. I decided to pursue a profession in computer coding to better understand the industry, as well as to grasp the morals and grammar of code so that I might advance in technology. Depending on how bad things are going in the country where everything is happening, things can occasionally get worse.

The confusion starts when you’re younger because no one has ever taken the time to raise you up to grasp how the world is growing, which will keep you off track forever. As I learn more about the history of my culture, I can remark that utilizing children as a means of labor rather than supporting them in understanding the nature and meaning of life is known as modern slavery.

Being dependent without a plan for growth is the worst thing a human can do. This opens everyone’s eyes to what their mission is and how to structure it for the technical advancement of living. Recognize your readiness at this precise moment to complete the task. Although family members might help and I would never see the point, human nature inevitably breeds competitiveness. I’ll go into more detail about why dependency is such a harmful disease to human development below.

Dependence is not a growth factor
This is not a means of growth, and if you look over the world’s governmental history, you’ll see that dependency eventually leads to slavery.
Dependency definitions. the condition of depending on or being ruled by something or someone else. alternatives: reliance, reliance. Simply said, this term explains dependency and how detrimental it is to human life. Dependence is such a major roadblock to development, and if you embrace it, the light will be far away. Because the culture of slavery will always advance over time, this causes dissatisfaction and depression.

Since my parents were unable to follow the natural tradition of raising a child, I committed myself to learn and grow as a person. Believing what others claim to be assistance by feeding you without having the good mindset of genuinely putting you in captivity or under bondage because they will use you to complete the task without payment. “I give you food; you work.” Hey, man, get up.

The smartest move over-dependence
Believe me, realizing the hidden mistake of not evolving is where growth begins. The fact that there are so many issues to be resolved is what sparked science on Earth. Please consider the purpose of developing, which will be a light to see the purpose of life, since there isn’t a particle of growth there. When vision is developing, it’s crucial to protect the skull, which can be referred to as a comfort zone. Test their interest in your development by objecting to your desire to master a skill. The foundation of obtaining freedom to explore is this technique.

My heart is powerful, and it is filled with a vision of expansion and advancement. Error is unavoidable and always common, but the only thing that will get you to the top is the new growth of applying abilities to develop in the nature of independence. Discover the goal, and the rest is history, as they say, “Truth is bitter.” Since I’ve learned the meaning of independence, my perspective on research to develop is actually getting me there, and I think that in the near future, growth will be created.

The conclusion is a necessary step on the road to fulfillment. Please learn to collaborate with others because human relationships are the source of riches.

I’m a junior front-end developer who loves web 3.0 and specializes in HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and (React). Still learning how to work and construct.

Building Agile Workforce in Companies – Tekedia Mini-MBA

Companies exist to fix frictions in markets. To do that, they must mobilize factors of production to create products and services. When you examine the whole constellation of that translation of organizing, combining and recombining those factors to make products, you see three things: people, processes and tools.

The People are the heart of every firm. They are the central nervous system of any operating entity, making it possible for the neurons and synapses of markets to operate effectively. The wealth of firms is in the People of the firms.

Today at 7pm WAT, one of the finest minds in this industry of discovering, nurturing, and uplifting the human capital to execute business missions will be at Tekedia Mini-MBA. Ijeoma Anunibe, PHRi, SHRM-SCP, ACIPM is the Head of People at Shuttlers, an innovative transportation startup.

China Clamps Down on Access to OpenAI’s ChatGPT

0

Chinese authorities are reportedly clamping down on the use of ChatGPT in the country, amid growing concern that the AI-powered chatbot will spread uncensored information to the public.

Nikkei reported citing sources, that regulators have told major Chinese tech companies, including Tencent Holdings and Ant Group, the fintech affiliate of Alibaba Group Holding, not to offer ChatGPT services to the public either directly or via third parties.

The sources added that tech companies will also need to report to regulators before they launch their own ChatGPT-like services.

ChatGPT, a chatbot developed by OpenAI, made a swift sweep around the world, racking up more than 100 million users in about two months after launch. Though officially, ChatGPT is not available in China, the South Asian giant has caught the frenzy.

Internet users in China have been accessing the third-party form of the chatbot services from platforms such as Tencent and Alibaba using Virtual Private Network (VPN). Nikkei reported that there have also been dozens of “mini programs” released by third-party developers on Tencent’s WeChat social media app that claim to offer services from ChatGPT.

Chinese companies have joined the race to develop AI-powered chatbots as the public caught the contagious wave of ChatGPT. Alibaba and Baidu said they’re working on their own chatbots that they plan to roll out soon. Baidu said it plans to release its chatbot dubbed ‘ERNIE Bot’ in March, and it will be used across various platforms such as its search engine, voice assistant for smart devices and even its autonomous driving technology.

CNN reported that a team at China’s Fudan University has developed their own version called MOSS, which instantly went viral, crashing the platform as many users attempted to access the tool.

These show how much the Chinese people want to use the AI tool. But regulatory pressure is forcing platforms offering third-party services regardless of whether they are connected to ChatGPT or not to suspend them, according to the people who spoke to Nikkei.

The pressure is being spurred by Chinese state-owned media outlets. Nikkei reported China Daily saying on Monday, in a post on Weibo, China’s heavily censored equivalent of Twitter, that the chatbot “could provide a helping hand to the U.S. government in its spread of disinformation and its manipulation of global narratives for its own geopolitical interests.”

With China’s intolerance of Western internet companies, ChatGPT appears ready to join the growing number of US companies banned in the country. Dozens of prominent US websites and apps have either been banned or heavily censored in China, starting from 2009 and 2010 when Beijing moved to block Google, Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter. Reddit and Wikipedia were banned in China in 2018 and 2019.

But sources in the tech industry, who spoke to Nikkei, said they are not surprised by such a clampdown.

“Our understanding from the beginning is that ChatGPT can never enter China due to issues with censorship, and China will need its own versions of ChatGPT,” said one executive from a leading tech company.

The report quoted another unnamed executive from another leading Chinese tech firm saying that even without a direct warning, his company would not make use of ChatGPT.

“We have already been a target of the Chinese regulator [amid the tech industry crackdown in recent years], so even if there were no such ban, we would never take the initiative to add ChatGPT to our platforms because its responses are uncontrollable,” the person said. “There will inevitably be some users who ask the chatbot politically sensitive questions, but the platform would be held accountable for the results.”

Tech Layoffs: Meta Plans Another Round of Job Cuts

0

Facebook parent company Meta is reportedly preparing for another round of job cuts in a downsizing effort that could affect thousands of workers.

The jobs cuts at the tech giant are coming after Mark Zuckerberg had earlier assured workers that he isn’t anticipating more layoffs after the company slashed a huge amount of its employees last year in November.

According to reports, the new round of layoffs is said to “disproportionately” impact non-engineering roles and the company’s CEO Mark Zuckerberg is seemingly deputizing human resources, lawyers, financial experts, and top executives to draw up plans to deflate hierarchy within the company.

The company reported a 2022 fourth quarter (Q4) revenue of $32.17 billion and $116.61 billion, a decrease of 4 percent and 1 percent year-over-year for the fourth quarter and year 2022, respectively.

It would be recalled that in November 2022, the tech giant Meta laid off roughly 11,000 workers, which is 13 percent of the company’s global workforce. At that time, Meta cited overhiring and poor macroeconomic conditions for the layoff.

Meta’s fresh round of layoffs has been predicted to stem from falling revenue as it seeks to mitigate costs while navigating the global economic downturn.

Earlier this month, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg told investors that last year’s layoffs was the beginning year of the company’s focus on efficiency and not the end. He said he would work on flattening the organizational structure as well as removing some layers of middle management.

He also added that the company now plans to push some leaders into lower-level roles without direct reports, flattening the layers of management between the company’s CEO and Interns.

In his words, “We’re working on flattening our org structure and removing some layers of middle management to make decisions faster, as well as deploying AI tools to help our engineers be more productive”.

The layoff at Meta isn’t entirely surprising after it was reported last week that the tech giant has delayed finalizing the budgets of the teams at multiple levels, due to a layoff plan lurking around the corner.

Two employees at the company disclosed that there has been a lack of clarity on crucial matters such as team budgets as well as future head counts in recent weeks, adding that certain decisions that would usually take days to be signed off are now taking a month in some cases.

Meta’s CEO Mark Zuckerberg has however labeled 2023 a “year of efficiency” as the company focuses on becoming a stronger and more nimble organization. Its belt-tightening measures follows the CEO acknowledgment that he overestimated the boom in e-commerce and had to cut jobs as a “last resort.”

However Meta is not the only company that has downsized its workforce. Companies such as Spotify, Amazon, Twitter etc, have all laid a significant part of their workforce, as the tech sector has been embroiled in sweeping layoffs that have so far impacted over 101,000 employees at 340 tech companies in 2023.
