Hello guys. I am a Computer Engineer who has accidentally found himself in the cognitive psychology field because of a novel technology I have been developing. I initially started it to create a solution to a personal problem and I read some psychology books later to fine-tune the concepts and to make it more in tune with scientific findings. This technology combines knowledge from psychology, statistics and actuarial science, machine learning, and some electronics.

I am focused on wanting to redevelop and optimize the software for release instead of doing a post-graduate program with this technology.

I am looking for a professor who is willing to fund me ($50,000) to re-develop this novel technology in exchange for carrying out experiments with this technology on people, leading to more research papers being written as well as being heavily cited, and hopefully more grants being received in the future, and an overall boost in their career.

I have spent 2 years working on this technology and I have prototypes that are ready to be demonstrated and also a detailed project description document that explains all the already developed concepts and other concepts to be developed in the future. Lastly, I am not granting any equity since you shall profit just by writing papers on this technology.

Thank you.

So I have some old photos from some years ago, when I created my Gmail account and it seems my gallery has been syncing with Google Photos since that time (9 years ago) till now.

However, once in a while, I see a notification about some of these memories with some AI-generated captions which has started to make me feel uncomfortable.

Example: I have a pic from 2017/18 where I did a Dybala goal celebration hand gesture and I have been tagged with 'Big Blockbuster: Starring a local legend'. I mean yeah, it's cool to receive some praise but how did it even come up with such a remark for that photo as well as being able to determine which remarks fit every photo, unless our photos are being fed into a model to determine which caption would suit every pic.

Long story short, if anybody knows any way to deactivate this, please let me know. Google has been really shady with the way they have been using our data of late. The privacy policy is intentionally voluminous and the font size is very small, making it unappealing to even want to read anything before you sign up for it.

I am a graduate who has developed a very novel accessibility technology for the educational sector after reading research papers and combining my own personal experience.

Based on my research, it appears that my technology is also highly useful to some corporations outside this country.

From 2024 to now, I have uploaded some files online to my private cloud accounts to prove ownership and I have spoken to some people in some private institutions in this country under an NDA.

I have also sent numerous emails to institutions and researchers outside, whose fields I believe this technology is related to. However, I only explained what the technology achieves without explaining how, until they are ready to sign an NDA.

Long story short, I can't patent or redevelop the technology for use due to insufficient resources. A patent is necessary to protect this technology, otherwise, the big tech companies can steal it and replicate it making 2 years of my research go to waste.

Lastly, I don't understand why a patent costs the same universally. It seems that's the reason why most patent applications belong to Westerners.

Hello guys. This is a survey from the Remote Sensing Team of the Ghana Space Science Technology Institute of the Ghana Atomic Energy Commission. Please take your time to respond, especially those in Accra. Your feedback means a lot to us. Thank you

So yeah, as a Ghanaian who has filled his fridge with sachet water (bought in bags originally), I nearly swallowed a tiny strand of the torn sachet, but I caught in time with my tongue. This made me wonder if we have been drinking microplastics unknowingly when it comes to sachet water. When I am out of the house, I purchase bottled water since I don't want anyone touching the sachet I am later going to attach my lips to, but other than that, we may still be cooked even if we drink sachet water at home.

LAGOS TO ACCRA

Good evening, my fellow West Africans. I need help from someone who is coming to Accra this week or next week. I will send you money to buy a gadget for me. It's less than 1 kg in weight. It's not heavy at all. Thank you.

Hello guys. My name is Michael, and I have developed a very novel accessibility technology that also provides a novel form of analytics that does not exist currently on any platform. Looking at how useful it is, I want to patent it to prevent competition from Google and other big tech companies. However, I am not from an advanced country and do not have the resources to do so. I need a news/newspaper company or even an online article publisher who can support me to patent the technology in my name in exchange for a perpetual license to use this technology on their platform. This means they also become the first platform to launch the technology globally. Thank you.

Before I start, I want to know if there are any neat and organized Zongo communities in this country. If yes, kindly let me know so I can visit there. If not, then why are all Zongo communities in Ghana like that? I have lived in different regions in this country, and almost always, the dirtiest, most despicable, and most disorganized communities are always Zongo communities. What is it about Zongo communities that says: throw garbage onto the streets, connect your household drain to the middle of the road, release the goats to roam about, place a cow there to munch on some corn husk, let the chickens eat the inside of the gutters, place a mini kiosk there, don't fix the roads, spit into the streets. I just don't f*cking get it. Like how? Why? And before some people start labeling me as promoting discrimination or hatred, I want to tell you that I have not attacked the religious or tribal majority of the inhabitants of Zongo communities. I'm speaking from what I have observed and not any inherent hatred for anyone. Besides in the Arabian peninsula, the people there are neat and organized. People always assume that the country has to be rich before it can be neat, which is a fat lie. It takes common and civic sense to keep one's own surroundings neat. The government does not exist to solve a problem that can be prevented by civilians. Thank you.
