When the Creators Panic: Why Even the Godfather of AI Is Afraid

Written by: Dominic Saame Tears of Africa
Everyone's panicking about AI wiping out humanity, but that's the distraction—the real catastrophe is already here, devouring jobs and freedoms while tech billionaires play god.This topic is exploding now because Geoffrey Hinton, the "Godfather of AI," just dropped fresh warnings in a 2026 interview, predicting massive job losses this year and AI risks rivaling nuclear threats. Hidden drivers? Fear of obsolescence fuels clicks, while Big Tech's money machine pushes AI hype for profits. Power plays too: governments and corps race for control, ignoring ethical hypocrisy as inventors like Hinton regret their creations only after cashing in big.
As an analyst who's tracked AI's underbelly for years, my stance is clear: These regrets are too little, too late. The elite built AI to consolidate power, not empower people. What others miss? It's not rogue superintelligence we should fear first—it's how AI entrenches inequality, turning workers into data fodder for algorithms.
Fact: Hinton quit Google in 2023 after 40 years, admitting he regrets pioneering neural networks that power today's AI. Fact: He warns 2026 could kick off a "jobless boom," with AI replacing "many, many jobs" across sectors. 
Fact: A survey of AI experts pegs a 50% chance of machines surpassing human intelligence in 5-20 years, potentially leading to catastrophic decisions. Fact: Over 300 top minds, including Hinton, signed a 2023 letter equating AI extinction risks to pandemics and nuclear war.This isn't abstract sci-fi—it's your livelihood on the line. AI's rise threatens dignity for millions, stripping away financial security and forcing a survival scramble. Imagine your skills obsolete, your family's future uncertain, all while AI barons hoard wealth. It hits identity too: Who are we if machines define our worth?
Here's the controversial truth: Hinton and his peers aren't heroes for speaking up now—they're accomplices who profited from the monster they unleashed, only sounding alarms after securing their legacies and fortunes.
If AI outsmarts us all, what human quality—creativity, empathy, rebellion—do you bet will save society from total control?

Follow for the raw intel on tech's power grabs. Share this if it's the wake-up call we need. Save it for when the layoffs hit.

Recommendations for a Strategic and Risk-Managed Approach to the Afina Acquisition

Written by: Dominic Saame Tears of Africa

The Government of Ghana faces a critical decision regarding the potential acquisition of Springfield Energy ’s Afina-1 oil discovery in the Deepwater Tano/Cape Three Points Block . While securing national control over this potentially significant hydrocarbon resource aligns with legitimate strategic objectives, pursuing an outright purchase of the asset in its current stage of development carries substantial technical, financial, and governance risks. Afina remains an appraisal asset, lacking sufficient data to confirm commercial viability, a proven development plan, or a sanctioned final investment decision. Adopting a structured, phased approach—rooted in global best practices—offers a pathway to de-risk the transaction, maximize value, and safeguard public resources. We recommend the following framework for proceeding with the Afina asset: Adopt a Convertible Loan Structure as the Primary Acquisition Mechanism: Rather than committing to an immediate outright purchase, the Ghana Na...
