Thanks for writing this, it clarifies a lot. Your AI newsletter is always so interesting and essential reading! How do you manage to find so many fascinanting links, really?
You are welcome! Mostly organic, I don't have any standard protocol. I just read a lot of interesting blogs out there, and importantly I go to great lengths to sanitize my social media feeds (e.g. I will routinely copy links of interesting X/Twitter posts, not to share them, but to train the algorithms to give me more of that.)
Superb curation. The tension between AI abundance and physical stagnation in places like Madagascar cuts right thru the tech optimism narrative. Roser's data makes it clear that without growth models or infrastrcture, digital tools alone can't bridge the gap. I worked briefly on energy access projects in West Africa, and the mismatch between what tech promises and what comunities actually need was glaring every time.
Indeed. I also grew up in West Africa, and I have listened to my fair share of people pontificating -> many people do not just realize how deep the gaps are.
