Posted by #Niger stops all gold and uranium ecports to #France. The African country’s leadership says the #USA can keep its aid money and use it to help their own homeless people.
Make no mistake, it is not the magnitude of the affront to international law that is causing #France, the #UnitedStates and #ECOWAS to react to orders… it is rather the dual critical importance of #Niger today: not only are its uranium reserves indispensable to the #West, but if the country comes out of the “Western” fold, it will cause an even greater domino effect in favour of #Russia and #China. Yet what politicians and the media do not say, in France or in the United States, in Russia or in China, is that everyone does not care about the life, or well-being, and the death of Niger’s people. #Africa has always been the victim of the characterized theft of its #natural resources. But now, the thieves are arguing in broad daylight, without shame, and even go so far as to prepare a #War to find out who, in the end, will have the power and the privilege to carve up their prey according to their exclusive #profits. Unless African governments actually understand, at last, that it is together, in a united front, and politically free, that they will impose on foreign powers the respect of their peoples. #FreeSenegal #freeNiger #freeAfrica

“Artificial intelligence would be the ultimate version of Google. The ultimate search engine that would understand everything on the web. It would understand exactly what you wanted, and it would give you the right thing. We’re nowhere near doing that now. However, we can get incrementally closer to that, and that is basically what we work on.”
