I don't buy it. History has shown us that poverty in the Global South, particularly in resource-rich regions like the Congo, is not a result of 'lack of effort' or 'underdevelopment,' but rather the direct outcome of centuries of intervention and exploitation by the Global North. From colonial resource extraction to modern multinational profiteering, the same systems continue to thrive under the guise of 'humanitarian aid' or 'development assistance.' Framing Global North interventions as heroic while ignoring their exploitative underpinnings perpetuates harmful narratives. It allows powerful nations and corporations to maintain access to critical resources—minerals, land, and labor—under the excuse of 'helping.' This dynamic not only sustains dependency but also actively prevents local empowerment, innovation, and equitable economic growth. True change demands that we stop the cycle of extraction disguised as aid. It means holding systems of exploitation accountable, paying reparations for colonial harms, and centering the voices of communities whose resources have been stolen for generations. Let’s not romanticize intervention—let’s dismantle the structures that make it 'necessary' in the first place.

I had my Instagram account hacked by a hacker who is trying to scam my followers financially, and support from Meta is difficult. The application's resolution alternatives do not work, since the attacker changed the email and telephone number that were originally linked to the account. Ultimately, for a clear security failure by the company, the minimum should be active support in these cases, given the various cases won in legal proceedings filed by users who had their accounts hacked in this way.

Incredible to see how AI and open-source data are being used to solve some of the world’s biggest challenges! this kind of innovation could make a huge difference in global efforts. keep it up meta!

Amazing work being done at Meta! The combination of open source and AI for refining population maps is truly impactful. Kudos to the engineers! Meta

I like open-source AI for crisis response because it gives communities fast, adaptable tools during emergencies. It can map disaster zones, allocate resources, and predict critical needs—without the cost or delays of proprietary systems. In education, open-source AI makes learning more accessible. Teachers can customize tools to meet students’ needs, breaking through language and resource barriers to create personalized, affordable solutions. For healthcare, it accelerates collaboration. Researchers worldwide can share tools to discover treatments for rare diseases or pandemics, prioritizing people over profits. In tackling environmental challenges, open-source AI empowers local action. Communities can monitor deforestation, manage resources, and hold industries accountable. It also improves access to mental health care, enabling culturally sensitive and affordable support tools. Finally, it helps cities solve local challenges—like traffic, energy use, or resource sharing—by putting technology in the hands of citizens. Open-source AI breaks down barriers, fosters collaboration, and empowers people to build solutions that matter.
