Remember seeing video footage of when he first came home & his father refusing to show happiness. The biggest injustice was his father losing hope in his son’s freedom.

References to LLMs in the quotes had me questioning why lawyers were feeling so targeted by this take 😂😂😂
If you have zero education, but learn how to ask AI models the right questions , in many jobs you will be able to outperform someone with an advanced degree, but who is unwilling to use Large Language Models.
Just takes a smartphone, curiosity to experiment and a mindset to learn.

Everyday South African corruption disappoints me - build a school, a road, clinic AND embezzle - every Narco/Mafia boss knows you have to give while you take!!! Such incompetent corruption!!!

My neighbour’s baby screamed “don't leave me” this morning. Firstly, what an articulate small person. Secondly, I felt that deeply. I rarely have childhood memories but that “don’t leave me” struck a particularly intense memory/feeling. Being a child & having such intense inexplicable emotions 😕

For those of you wondering why Musk’s has a slight variation - google the South African version which was slightly to the side rather than straight ahead. He never forgot his roots.
The guy is 53 years old.
He's almost a trillionaire.
He employs many thousands of people.
He's running multiple billion-dollar businesses.
He's made the "heart with hands" gesture. 🫶
He's had access to the same historical information we all have since grade school...

When are Americans going to realise no one is coming to rescue them? Your country successfully isolated itself through continuing imperialist practices. It completely annihilated internal movements of resistance. You have to resist from within.

Would I be wrong to say the USA is having their Zuma moment - but multiply that by like 100?

My girl WRITES - always feel like I’m having a stroke reading her long - multi-convoluted - multi-meaning descriptors. Half the page is two sentences.

On a positive note - I have an actual South African case study on the pitfalls of A.I use for my students.
A law firm has been left with legal egg on its face - and the possibility of facing a Legal Practice Council (LPC) investigation - for allegedly using “Google” and Artificial Intelligence (AI) to source what were non-existent legal citations in court proceedings. groundup.org.za/article/lawy...
Lawyers in deep trouble for using AI to draft court papers
Surendra Singh and Associates ordered to pay costs out of own coffers and may have to answer to Legal Practice Council

Reading this judgment was a horror rollercoaster ride - the lack of accountability & disregard by the lawyers of their duties as officers of the court! Yikes, yikes, yikes!

And Musk’s grandparents are Nazi sympathizers who moved to South Africa because they loved the apartheid project (as said by his father).
So a reminder:
It’s not ‘liberals’ saying Hegseth abuses women. It’s his mom.
It’s not ‘liberals’ comparing Trump to Hitler. It’s his vice-president.
It’s not ‘liberals’ calling Musk a liar and a racist. It’s his own child.
For the record.

Another thing to think about writing about - South African law would eat this up!!
There’s no gimmicky PR name, but the law is Section 836.13 - Promotion of an altered sexual depiction
