For the global south, I think there is huge opportunity to innovate with SLMs and open weight models. With the correct engineering these models can produce the same outputs as expensive ones. The gap I see is education and accessibility. AI could be a potential equalizer depending on how you see it

This is a great question. I think there are smarter people than me discussing the ethics of AI especially to do with energy. I know MSFT made a commitment to offset the costs of the data centers with renewable energy and subsidizing energy costs for communities they are in.

Hi Sean, thanks for listening and reading! I’ve gone back and forth in my head about bluesky because in the past it wasn’t super friendly to AI discussion 😅 I think that’s changed recently, so I think this is a reminder that maybe I should start post here again

Some GOOD news - remember this young person you all helped raise money for his trip? He made it! www.linkedin.com/posts/ditiro...
Last week, I had the amazing opportunity to attend PyCon Namibia 2025 on their 10th anniversary as a speaker and attendee. This was my second PyCon this year, and it was just as incredible as the first!

A huge thank you to Scott Hanselman and his network for making this possible by helping with my fundraiser, and to Daniele Procida, what would I do without you? Your support means so much!

PyCon Namibia is always a great experience, meeting new people, reconnecting with familiar faces, and finally putting names to faces I've only known online. It truly shows the power of the Python community.

A special shoutout to the organizers and volunteers, Jessica Upani, Ngazetungue Muheue, Tinomudaishe Ndhlovu, Ngatatue Mate, Daniele Procida and others, for all the hard work behind the scenes. Events like this wouldn’t happen without passionate people like you! I must highlight that they are my family, they are always there for everything I need.

Stay tuned for Part 2, where I’ll share more about my experiences. 🚀

I'm still very proud that I was able to get this paragraph in a company announcement blog post
Before, it said “o1-preview (Preview)” and now it just says “o1 (Preview)” because the GitHub model picker is in preview, but not the model itself. We have proven once again that the hardest problem in computer science is naming things, but yo dawg, we no longer have previews on previews. We are a very professional business.

Anyway.
