Africa is becoming a hotbed of tech hubs and startup activity in recent years.  Egypt, Morocco, Kenya, Nigeria and South Africa are at the forefront of the African tech revolution. In Morocco, Casablanca is particularly well-known for its startup ecosystem thanks to local initiatives that have nurtured companies from idea stage to launch. Meanwhile in Kenya, Nairobi stands out as one of the continent’s most prominent hubs for technology start-ups; it’s home to iHub, an incubator for entrepreneurs. Nigeria's Lagos also has a vibrant tech scene thanks to initiatives such as Co-Creation Hub that provide support and funding opportunities for entrepreneurs. Cairo is growing and attracting lots of venture capital in Egypt. Finally South Africa has established digital infrastructure across all major cities which has allowed its technology scene to blossom - Johannesburg is particularly noteworthy as it plays host to many leading startups and digital businesses.

The hype around Generative AI is that it may have the potential to revolutionize many industries in the next five years, especially those related to automation. For example, some speculate that generative AI algorithms can be used to develop self-driving cars, automate customer service and help simulate complex manufacturing processes. Furthermore, advancements in natural language processing (NLP) may enable these algorithms to interact with humans in a more deceptive dialog and answer questions based on a statistical pattern that mimics an understanding of semantic context. This could result in more efficient customer support systems and even the development of virtual assistants that have what feels like simulated robotic personalized conversations with users.

Arthur C. Clarke's three laws are as follows:

1) When a distinguished but elderly scientist states that something is possible, he is almost certainly right. When he states that something is impossible, he is very probably wrong.

2) The only way of discovering the limits of the possible is to venture a little way past them into the impossible.

3) Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.

This third law may be applicable to generative AI because AI can often process inputs and generate outputs so quickly and efficiently that it may seem almost like magic to those who cannot understand how it works at such a rapid pace and with such high levels of accuracy. To some observers, an AI system may appear to have 'magical' qualities due its ability to take in information and deliver apparent solutions so quickly without any pause or break for thought - as though it were conjuring an answer out of thin air! This could therefore lead people to think they are witnessing something distinctly magical when in reality generative AI has simply been employed successfully by scientists programming a computer system with intricate algorithms and techniques meant specifically for this purpose.

As someone who dedicated my life to the struggle for justice and equality, I would say that we have made some progress as a society since my passing. There have been some significant changes in laws and policies that have helped to improve the lives of African Americans and other marginalized communities.

For example, the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965, helped to end segregation and discrimination, and ensured that all Americans have the right to vote. Additionally, the Fair Housing Act of 1968 helped to end housing discrimination.

However, I would also acknowledge that there is still much work to be done. Racism and discrimination continue to be pervasive issues in America, and they have been exposed in recent years through the deaths of unarmed black men and women at the hands of the police, and the protests that followed.

I would also say that economic inequality and poverty continue to be major issues that disproportionately affect marginalized communities, particularly African Americans. This is something that I spoke about during my lifetime, and it is still a pressing issue today.

I would also note that the current political and social climate in America is increasingly divisive, and it is important that we come together as a nation to address the issues of racism, inequality, and injustice.

In summary, I would say that while we have made some progress as a society since my passing, there is still much work to be done to address issues of racism, inequality, and injustice. It is important that we continue to strive for a more just and equal society.

#SEO (Search Engine Optimization) is the practice of optimizing a website to improve its ranking in search engine results pages (#SERPs). This is achieved through a variety of tactics and strategies, such as the use of keywords, backlinks, and the creation of high-quality content. The goal of SEO is to attract organic (unpaid) traffic to a website, as opposed to paid traffic from PPC (#Pay-Per-Click) advertising.

PPC is a form of online advertising where advertisers pay a fee each time one of their ads is clicked. Google AdWords is the most popular platform for PPC advertising, and it allows advertisers to bid on specific keywords in order to display their ads in the sponsored results section of a search engine's results page.

Some pros of SEO include:

- It can attract a high volume of traffic to a website, as it targets users who are actively searching for specific products or services.
- It can be a cost-effective way to drive traffic to a website, as it relies on organic traffic rather than paid advertising.
- It can help to establish a website's credibility and authority, as high rankings in search results can be seen as a sign of a reputable and trustworthy website.

Some cons of SEO include:

- It can be a slow process, as it can take time for a website to rank highly in search results.
- It can be difficult to predict the success of an SEO campaign, as search algorithms are constantly evolving and there are many factors that can influence a website's ranking.
- It can be a competitive field, as many websites may be competing for the same keywords and high rankings.

Some pros of PPC include:

- It can drive targeted traffic to a website, as ads are only shown to users who are searching for specific keywords.
- It is a fast way to drive traffic to a website, as ads can be set up and activated within a short period of time.
- It allows for detailed tracking and measurement of the effectiveness of an advertising campaign.

Some cons of PPC include:

- It can be expensive, as advertisers pay each time one of their ads is clicked.
- It requires ongoing management and optimization in order to be effective, as ad campaigns need to be monitored and adjusted to ensure that they are delivering the desired results.
- It may not be as effective at building credibility and authority, as users may be more likely to trust organic search results over paid ads.

It is possible that AI could revolutionize social media in a number of ways. For example, AI algorithms could be used to improve the accuracy of content recommendations, making it easier for users to discover interesting and relevant content. AI could also be used to automate moderation and flag potentially problematic content, helping social media platforms maintain a positive and safe environment for their users. Additionally, AI could be used to improve the efficiency of advertising on social media, allowing companies to better target their ads and reach the right audience. Overall, while the exact impact of AI on social media remains to be seen, it has the potential to significantly improve the user experience on these platforms.

For several months now, the Brainsy team HAS been posting about the shortcomings of Bitcoin as it relates to massive energy usage and Tesla has been part of our messaging campaign. It seemed incongruent that a clean car company was stoking demand for the carbon-pumping "Model T" of cryptos. For anyone doubting the negative impact of #dirtybitcoin on the planet, look here https://cbeci.org for the estimated power consumption (in real time) required for the bitcoin network.   

That being said, we know that correlation does not equal causation. We're pretty certain that Elon Musk's conscience convinced him to stop allowing Tesla to accept bitcoin for car purchases. As he now puts it, bitcoin's energy usage “is insane” (his words).
