What happens when intelligence is no longer rare… but everywhere?
When thinking, analyzing, writing, and even decision-making become cheap; what becomes valuable?
Who wins, who adapts, and what changes about the way we work and create?
This week, we’re getting into a question that’s quietly reshaping everything.
✔ Topic: What Happens When Intelligence Becomes Cheap and Abundant
✔ Date: Wednesday, March 25, 2026
✔ Time: 6:30 PM EAT
✔ Location: 22, Comet Building (next to Axum Hotel)
2nd Floor, Office No. 205, Addis Ababa
No slides. Just ideas, questions, and real conversation.
Feel free to bring your friend!

So hey... at yesterday’s AI meetup, a fun conversation quickly turned into a real debate.
We found ourselves split between two ideas while talking about AI, love, and human relationships:
Would you trust AI with your dating life, sharing your experiences, highs and lows, and letting it analyze people for you?
Or would you rather turn to a real friend for honest perspective and guidance?
It got surprisingly heated (you definitely missed out if you weren’t there 😄), but we wanted to bring the question here too because we’re genuinely curious what you think.

Yesterday's conversation opened up a few distinctions worth holding in mind before answering.
The first is about information. An AI only knows what you type to it — a sample of your thoughts, often unusually honest because there's no image to protect and no social cost. A friend knows you differently: your tone, your body language, how you actually behave over years, the cultural context you share. These are different kinds of data about the same person, and each captures things the other misses.
A second distinction is about what happens during the act of sharing. When two humans share something emotionally heavy, the conversation itself does work beyond the topic — it builds a bond, strengthens trust, reinforces a relationship that may matter later in ways neither person can predict. Sharing with an AI also builds something: context. Over time, the system learns your preferences, your sensitivities, the shape of your thinking, and that accumulated context makes its help sharper. But the purpose is different. One exchange deepens a relationship between two people; the other sharpens a tool's understanding of one person.
There are other threads the group raised: whether we unconsciously shape what we tell each source, how much delivery and tone matter when receiving advice, who is accountable when the guidance turns out wrong, and how we actually go on to implement what we hear. Underneath all of it sits the balance between emotion and logic — humans can pull us toward emotional distortion, and people often turn to AI precisely to correct for that.
The poll sits on top of all of this. The question is not which source is smarter or kinder, but which one are you finding preferring to share more details of your relationships — and what you think you're really getting when you do.

One more week left until the Tenacious Recruitment Program (TRP 1) wraps up… and honestly, we’re proud to witness this journey in real time.
A few weeks ago it was confusion, Googling, trying to make sense of all the AI terms
Now?
They’re building agents, solving problems, stress-testing systems, and thinking way beyond just code.
The growth, the mindset shift, the confidence… yeah, it’s been real.

Yesterday, we invited our Tenacious Recruitment Program trainees for a special session on 'Harness Engineering' , a conversation about what really makes AI systems useful beyond just the model itself.
One of the biggest takeaways is that AI is not just “the model.” The real power comes from the system around it: memory, tools, workflows, validation, and the human judgment guiding it all.
What made the session engaging was how it connected deep technical ideas to something everyone could relate to: technology is only valuable when it works reliably for people in the real world.
From context engineering and memory systems to human judgment and AI orchestration, the discussion challenged us to think beyond prompts, and toward building dependable, human-centered AI systems.
A meaningful way to close the final week of the TRP 1 program: learning not just how to use AI, but how to design systems around it thoughtfully.

Researchers kept making AI models bigger…
and somehow, they kept becoming dramatically more capable.
Suddenly they could write code, solve complex problems, reason through tasks, and display abilities nobody explicitly programmed into them.
And here’s the surprising part:
even AI researchers still debate why this works so well.
So what exactly happens when AI scales?
And why does “bigger” suddenly lead to behaviors that feel almost intelligent?
