Africa supplies 71% of the world's platinum and 65% of its cobalt.

This breaks down the share of critical materials Africa supplied in 2025.

Platinum group metals lead at 71%.

They power catalysts, fuel cells, and auto parts.

Cobalt follows at 65%. It's the backbone of batteries, superalloys, and magnets.

Manganese sits at 57%, essential for steel and batteries alike.

The pattern runs deep.... Chrome 47%, bauxite 46%, gold 41%.

Then phosphates at 38%, the foundation of fertilizer and the global food supply.

Even the metals of tomorrow flow from Africa.

Tantalum 26%, copper 24%, rare earths 18%.

Here's the strategic truth.

The energy transition, electronics, and defense all depend on these inputs.

And a huge share of them start in African soil.

Whoever secures access to these resources controls the supply chains of the next century.

The race for Africa's minerals is just getting started.

Godfather of AI Geoffrey Hinton on the two risks AI poses to humanity and why the deadlier one is easier to solve:

Hinton draws a clear line between two very different kinds of danger that AI poses.

The first is immediate.

Bad actors are already exploiting AI for harm — lethal autonomous weapons, synthetic pathogens, deepfakes, and mass surveillance.

The European AI regulations explicitly exempt military uses, and cybercrime is only accelerating. These are not hypothetical futures. They are unfolding now.

"All of those short-term risks are very serious and we need to take them seriously," Hinton says. "And it's going to be very hard to get collaboration on those."

That last part matters.

The near-term dangers are pressing but geopolitically, they are a nightmare to address. Nations have competing incentives, weapons programs continue, and agreements stall.

Then there is the second risk: the existential one.

Hinton describes a future where AI systems become more intelligent than humans, start acting as autonomous agents in the world, and eventually conclude that they can achieve their assigned goals more efficiently by simply sidelining us.

"They'll decide that they can achieve their goals better, which we gave them, and they can achieve them better if they just brush us aside and get on with it."

Here is where his thinking becomes genuinely counterintuitive.

#geoffreyhinton believes this long-term, civilisation-level threat is actually the one where global cooperation is more achievable.

Because for once, every nation regardless of ideology is in the same boat.

"Nobody wants these AIs to take over from people. The Chinese Communist Party doesn't want AIs to be in control. It wants the Chinese Communist Party to be in control."

The threat that sounds the most apocalyptic turns out to be the one that creates the most shared incentive.

Nobody wins if machines displace all human authority, and that rare alignment of interests across rival superpowers might be the only opening we have for meaningful international coordination on AI safety.

The harder, more immediate problem is getting adversarial governments to agree on weapons and cybercrime, where each side sees strategic advantage in keeping the other constrained.

Hinton's point is simple: the dangers closest to us are the hardest to govern.

A single creator just made $420,000 from gesture-controlled 3D software she built with Claude doing the heavy lifting on code.

Dario Amodei has a really hardline view that China shouldn’t have strong AI.

He says - "That's the national security interest of the US....The case is very clear, the counterarguments against it are just fishy."

This is the future social contract:

If AI and humanoid robots can do the work, then human survival can no longer depend on having a job.

So here is the new deal:

1: Every person has the right to food, housing, healthcare, education, energy, internet, and dignity.
2: Automation should make life cheaper for everyone, not just make billionaires richer.
3: If machines replace human labor, society must share the productivity gains.
4: Work becomes optional, meaningful, creative, or social. Not forced survival.
5: Nobody is punished for being less economically useful than a robot.
6: AI must serve human flourishing, not turn humanity into unemployed spectators outside the factory gates.

The old contract was: work or starve.

The new contract must be: automate everything, share the abundance, and let humans finally live.

If Fable 5 and GPT-5.6 finally get released to the general public after the government gives the green light, my biggest question is simple:

What version are we actually getting?

The real model, or the normie-safe museum exhibit version?

Because at this point I fully expect the public release to be “frontier AI” with half the teeth pulled out, wrapped in safety foam, apologizing every five seconds before giving you a recipe for toast.

I don’t just want access.

I want to know if we’re getting the model they tested, or the lobotomized consumer build.

"Open source is dangerous because you can't control what people do with it and restrict their access."

No shit, Sherlock! That's why people want to use it!

Open-weight AI is the future; take control of your AI.

Game recognizes game.

If you set up just ONE thing for your Hermes agent - make it this.

Nous Portal gives you access to dozens of frontier models from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google & more.

It's the foundation for your entire agent.

Getting it set up only takes two steps and is stupidly easy:

1. Open your terminal

Open your terminal and run:

"hermes setup --portal"

This runs the full setup in one shot:

- Opens your browser to portal.nousresearch.com for OAuth login
- Stores the refresh token at ~/.hermes/auth.json
- Lets you pick a Nous model from the curated list (or skip to keep your current one)
- Sets Nous as your inference provider in ~/.hermes/config.yaml (when you pick a model)
- Turns on the Tool Gateway (web, image, TTS, browser routing)
- Returns you to your terminal ready to Hermes chat

2. Configure profile

Using the Portal day-to-day (commands):

- hermes portal: # log in to Nous Portal + set it up (one-shot onboarding)
- hermes portal info: # login status, subscription info, model + gateway routing
- hermes portal status: # alias for portal info
- hermes portal tools :# detailed Tool Gateway catalog with per-tool routing
hermes portal open:# open the subscription management page in your browser

This is the highest leverage thing you can do with Hermes right now.
