AI can program itself or what?? neither Can AI operates on its own?? programmers will be relevant for centuries to come.

definitely not web programmers maybe networking guys, but AI can do anything as far as there is enough data to train it neural networks works exactly like ur brain ur brain has billions of neurone and years of data to make u who u are imagine being able to do that for ml models even gpt 3 that doesn't not have millions of artificial neurone works just fine

check out this new forum that I made
www africonn.com

cixak95211:
You still have lots of work to do. Like a over a million things that need to be done
Congrats on the taking the first step though, which is what matters.

please enlighten me, like what and what,
I would appreciate it if you could do that.

After a long time of adding more features. I have moved the app from Heroku to aws and ha e gotten the domain name www.africonn.com at this point a can say it is the best african developed forum and it is ready for use it. Thanks to those who helped me tested it initially

Phonegap but u need to be able to use it, u can build it with Adobe cloud I have done this several times so quote me if u need help

ibromodzi:
Ever heard of GPT3?

That AI is made by open AI they spent a couple of millions training that model on billions of scraped web information, it is going to be monetized and there are AI problems that has started to manifest in Gpt3 e.g it ability to generate close to human propaganda with just a few lines of text. With gpt 3, I understand concerned being raised by world expert on the topic.

Meanwhile, training models for an average Joe is now becoming more expensive, I hope a Nigerian start up would be able to profit out of the opportunity AI present, because this is one of the latest thing that if done correctly can lead to a unicorn and above.
Others are web 3.0, advanced genetics, robotics, electrification of vechiles, e t c

Briells:
Mtchewww

Listen guys, rather than leaving your funds sitting in the bank, with various deductions here and there, thereby depreciating the value of your cash, invest it in the company I work with and earn a minimum of 10% monthly.

This is no scam please, you can visit our office at either Lagos/Abuja for physical verification. Contact me on 0 8 zero 6 two 5 1 one 6 1 0 for more details...

Do u know that is illegal no company is allowed under the law to raise funds from the public themselves, mention the name of ur company

devdev:
So you don't have a styling sheet Anyways, work on your footer content. It's aligned to the left on desktop and centered on mobile device.

How is it possible not to use css, I intendedly made it left aligned, well I will look into it

Abcruz:
Nice work

Thanks

UnchainedAddict:
everything looks quite well except for the domain name , a domain name captures the main idea of a company , work on that....I could suggest 1 for you

I made a mistake of not buying the domain that I like and saw was available b4 I even started coding, but now it has been bought I am still thinking of the domain that will be best suited for the website, do suggest, I hope it is still available

devdev:
What are you using for frontend

Server side rendering, jQuery

devdev:
Center you footer content.... looks like you didnt test the website on desktop browser.

I developed it on my laptop, so I made sure that it is responsive on three different devices, and I don't get ur complain, the footer doesn't look good on desktop right? What else looks bad, what do u think would make it better?

We are setting up a workspace at Ikeja. The role allows flexibility as regards daily job commute. The only requirement being that you are always available to communicate with the management team in US (cos of the time difference).

I have sent the docs via greenhouse

Donpre:
Your reason is quite funny but isn't wrong.

Don't you think IBM and Microsoft are too big for that tho, they have enough money to buy any programmer and program in the worls

Nice website btw

It is not about IBM or MS wanting the programme, it is about increasing cloud usage in africa, Nothing goes for nothing, i actually went through the t & c and it is important you don't hold a patent on the innovation, think about that

Donpre:
oh thanks

Actually saw that ad, I thought the competition was based on innovation, now I'm hearing badges and courses.

Anyway, knowing the Nigerian society, the winners have already been selected

Sure, I would advice people that want to learn app development to take up the challenge for learning sake

The stuff is organized by IBM and MS to promote their cloud solution

I stated the Reason why it is a bad idea here

hardebayho:
I already have ten badges, and I was just playing around with answering all those questions ni. For me, those questions are not hard enough jawe...

EDIT:
Damnit!! I only have a screenshot of 6, you can see every badge I collected on Acclaim though

Hi, have u gotten someone to do it for ya

Donpre:
IBM dey give $2500 to people wey complete those courses?

Nope but ministry of sports and youth collaborate with ibm and Microsoft to make people learn how to code through there courses so as to be able to build apps in which ten will selected and the winners would win 1M

Those guy want you to write code with full documentation, no bugs and a lot more conditions e.t.c and this is Nigeria u will just here a guy from some where won, though the money is small but nepotism will still make them give the already rich

PatrickOkunima:
You're not building any app or website for me.

You'll take short programming and web related courses, answer the quiz to earn certificates. (This won't take more than 3 hours for someone who is really grounded).

Pay is N10,000 on completion.

If interested, kindly share your contact here, and I'll call you.

PatrickOkunima:
This is the number one reason people fail in business. You created a product without thinking of your customers first. You adopted a solution-problem approach instead of problem-solution. You have two options: 1. Forget about the idea and move on. 2. Go back to the drawing board and try to identify who your customers are and what their pain points are.

build it and they would come approach, he/she is a software engineer knows little about the industry he built the solution for. Don't give up bro following the no 2
