Bruh, the tech market just went through absolute chaos. Over $1 trillion evaporated from tech stocks in a single day. 🤯 If you've been wondering why AI tools are suddenly getting more restrictive, putting up stricter daily limits, or pushing expensive new tiers... yesterday's stock crash explains it all. Here is the plain English version of why the market broke: For the last few years, we've been living in an "AI cheat code" era. Running these massive AI models costs an insane amount of electricity and chip power. Every time you asked a premium model to do a heavy task, the tech company was actually losing money on you. Why did they do it? Because venture capitalists and tech giants threw billions at them to scale as fast as possible. But yesterday, Wall Street looked at the bills and revolted. Big Tech is spending nearly $800 billion on AI infrastructure this year, but the profits aren't showing up fast enough. Intel alone cratered 30% its worst day since the 1970s and Nvidia fell over 4%. What this means for us: AI isn't going away, but it's about to get a lot more segmented. The Free Stuff: We will get basic, stripped-down models (good for simple emails, bad for deep research). The Good Stuff: Power users and businesses are going to start seeing much higher subscription bills ($100+/month) or "pay-as-you-go" credits. The free ride is officially winding down. Welcome to the profitability era of AI. 💸

Flowers are romantic, but a Claude or ChatGPT subscription might be the most practical gift you can give your future partner. 😂

AI MEETUP | IS TECHNOLOGY ADVANCING THAT FAST, OR ARE WE JUST GETTING BETTER AT MAKING IT LOOK THAT WAY? Tesla’s Flying Car: Is it really a flying car, or are we just redefining what flying means? As technology pushes the boundaries of what seems possible, it’s worth asking: Are we witnessing genuine breakthroughs, or has the way we present technology changed how we perceive progress? Join us to explore the gap between technological progress and perception. 📅 Date: Wednesday, October 21, 2026 🕡 Time: 6:30 PM EAT 📍 Location: 22 Comet Building, next to Axum Hotel 2nd Floor, Office No. 205, Addis Ababa Bring your curiosity, questions, and a healthy dose of skepticism. 😊 Come and join the conversation!

there's no MyDrive server at all. Your files are stored in a private channel in your own Telegram account, and your sign-in and settings are saved only on your device (your browser or phone). MyDrive talks straight to Telegram. Nobody else can see your files.

I've been using Telegram for everything sharing docs, trip photos, notes, whatever. I'd make a group or a channel, dump files in it, and then spend forever scrolling to find anything again. So I thought: why not build a Telegram client just for that? Something that keeps it all organized like a real drive. That's MyDrive. I've been using it myself for a while now, and it's become how I keep everything: 📁 Folders, photos, music, search like a real drive 👥 Share folders with anyone on Telegram 🔑 Sign in with Telegram, no setup ♾️ Free, no storage limit it's your own Telegram 💻 Web, Android, Windows, Linux Your files stay in a private channel in your own account. No MyDrive server, no copies anywhere else. Try it https://mydrive.pro.et If you try it, tell me what you think I read every reply

We're releasing the first batch of Dataset.ET open speech data for Amharic. 22.7 hours. 7,405 recordings. 320 speakers. Free, CC BY 4.0, on Hugging Face. Amharic has close to no open speech data. That's the gap we're trying to close, and this is the first step rather than the finished thing. Some honesty about what this is: it's a first batch. The audio isn't preprocessed yet. We're not going to tell you it's the best quality out there. We don't think it is. What we want is for people to actually use it and tell us where it falls short. The next release will be different: properly preprocessed audio, a real data pipeline with testing and validation built in. This exists because 320 people in Ethiopia gave their voices to it, and because contributors reviewed each other's recordings. Thank you to all of them. If you're working on Ethiopian languages, low-resource ASR, or you just want to talk about the data, DM us. We'd genuinely like to hear from you. 🔗 https://huggingface.co/datasets/snapwre/amharic-speech

Afaan Oromo has 41 million speakers. The frontier models don’t sound native. We gave ElevenLabs, Google, and OpenAI the same script we gave our model.  Sound on. @kalBuilds

Join us tomorrow for Mapping the Trap: Real Conversations About AI and Human Work, an interactive seminar series exploring what happens when AI meets human-facing fields like education, healthcare, management, and beyond. This is an open space for honest conversation about why human agency can't be automated, how to spot the fake metrics that often shape our everyday work, and what it looks like to build AI that works with people rather than around them. The session will be joined by two incredible experts in the field: Dr. Kende Kefale, Senior Information Analyst at the University of Cape Town (UCT), and Dr. Yabebal Fantaye, Co-founder of 10 Academy & Tenacious Intelligence. Share this with someone you know would enjoy being part of the conversation. 📅 Wednesday, August 5, 2026 🕕 6:00 PM EAT 🎦 Google Meet: http://meet.google.com/xfz-meph-zic 🎟️ Free and open to everyone

AI & Culture : Let's Talk. Have you ever thought about what happens to our culture as AI becomes part of everyday life? Can AI help preserve culture, or will it gradually reshape it? Whose culture is AI learning from, and whose stories, languages, and perspectives might be left behind? Join us this Wednesday for another AI Meetup as we explore a question that matters to all of us: How can we use and build AI while preserving our cultural identity in an evolving AI era? No matter your background, if you're curious about AI and its impact, we'd love to have you with us. 🎲 And we're bringing games! Come for a fun evening with great discussions and new connections. 📅 Wednesday, July 29, 2026 🕡 6:30 PM EAT 📍 22, Comet Building (next to Axum Hotel) 2nd Floor, Office No. 205, Addis Ababa
