Capitalism is so up in our asses that someone has to redo an exam 10 times to know that a career path is not for them. Mind you, they have paid for all the 9 resits.The Kenyan curriculum is designed in a way that doesn't allow free thinking and also doesn't accomodate neurodiverse people.

I purpose to write more this year and to engage more with my interests.

It's just not Musk's Grok AI that is being used. Here in Kenya, men also use Nano Banana Pro to generate non-consensual images of women on other apps like Facebook too. In essence, the call for big tech accountability in TFGBV was something that was long overdue.

Tech corps all unifying together to utilise the grey legality of 'AI' for every flavour of exploitation, which was the intended purpose of selecting it as a umbrella marketing term

AI chatbot Grok used to create child sexual abuse imagery, watchdog says Internet Watch Foundation warns Elon Musk-owned AI risks bringing sexualised imagery of children into the mainstream

Users of a dark web forum boasted about using Elon Musk's X/Grok to create sexualised imagery of young children.

Why Are Grok and X Still Available in App Stores? Elon Musk’s chatbot has been used to generate thousands of sexualized images of adults and apparent minors. Apple and Google have removed other “nudify” apps—but continue to host X and Grok.

Keep Grok and X in the app stores, sure, but god forbid ICE-tracking apps be allowed.

I feel like I'm in upsidedown land.

If a website appeared overnight that gave hundreds of millions of users the opportunity to create CSAM you'd expect governments to shut it down quickly, so the question is why X gets a pass when it's done just that?

As a Kenyan lawyer who has worked with organizations that fight against TFGBV like KICTANet and Shield Maidens Kenya, we came up with a report that supports this. It shows that Kenyan men use AI and deepfakes especially those available in social media apps to shame and harass women online.

Screen shot of Reddit post encouraging men to create sexual images using Grok

The Grok reddit is just dudes giving each other advice and encouragement on how to commit digital rape.

There needs to be accountability for this. I don’t want to hear “the genie is already out the bag.” This shit needs to be destroyed.

How Grok's sexual abuse hit a tipping point Nonconsensual deepfakes on X are nothing new, but now it's built into the platform.

I've been tracking the spread of nonconsensual deepfakes on X for more than two years. Here's a timeline of how Musk's leadership allowed the practice to flourish from a once-underground market to a viral trend, with little recourse for victims or legal enforcement.

In 2025, AI became pervasive in American life and the economy, with ChatGPT surging in adoption much faster than any other major technology in memory. @nytopinion.nytimes.com

Alongside the word of the year we should have “the word that has lost the most of its meaning this year”. I nominate “ceasefire”.

I am so glad I got into writing this year. I have learnt so much and my vocabulary and grammar has improved.

No they are not. Y'all say this and it is the US that has the most gold medals. Maybe they are the ones doping!!!

Tis been a while since I came back here. I guess Kenyans use Twitter and Substack more.

Autistic burnout isn’t a rough patch.

It’s a shutdown of the bodymind after years of masking, unmet needs, and constant demand.

It can last months or years.

It’s not personal failure - it’s survival catching up.

A hard reset.

Recovery isn’t linear.

And it’s not your fault.

I think mixing humanities and STEM isn't a bad idea after all. Kenya has potential when it comes to AI deployment and usage. See the article below.

This is so cool. I am also planning to write a book about my life and also bringing out the aspect of intersectionality in autism.

I have always wondered whether one can do a humanities course and a STEM course. I already have knowledge on the fundamentals of coding(Python, HTML, C+, SQL and Javascript) and I am almost being admitted to The Bar. I only need to choose either Mathematics or Engimeering and I am good to go.

Human rights is not something I will casually dismiss when I am making friends. I am very serious about human rights especially minorities' rights.

I love the fact that being a world power doesn't mean you have to control other states and countries' affairs to assert dominance. Innovation should simply be enough!!!

I have been absconding law school and missing out on a lot of schoolwork. Is this a neurodivergent thing? If so, how do I overcome it??

I would love to understand about data protection and privacy aspects of digital minority group's rights, and spaces in developed countries.

"Why would anyone think we're lying about being autistic?"

They think we'd lie because they think we think it'll get us stuff and they lie all the time to get stuff 😆

(Not only do we know it won't get us things, we literally have to beg to be treated with basic respect 😏)
