Today’s South African music recommendation: Just Jinger. (@justjinjer)
If you grew up in SA in the 90s, you know.
If you didn’t, start with “Shallow Waters” and tell me this shouldn’t have travelled much further than it did.
South African music. 🇿🇦
Springbok Nude Girls (@SNGband) and Wonderboom (@WONDERboomBand) accompanying me to work in LA this morning.
Still amazed by the depth of South African music, from the 90s right through to what’s being made today. Far too much of it never got the ears it deserved outside SA.
That needs to change.
Watch this space. 🇿🇦

The era of buying static software is ending. We are entering an age where we build disposable, targeted applications on demand to solve the exact problem in front of us. Software generation is becoming as casual as writing a text message. Let us unpack the mechanics behind this shift. 🧵
6/ The question for founders and enterprise leaders is straightforward. Are you building static software for a market that expects fluid, generated solutions? The transition to disposable, hyper-personalized software will disrupt established revenue models across every sector. How is your organization preparing for this infrastructure shift?
5/ Within Media and Entertainment, we will see studios generating custom editing suites tailored perfectly to the specific workflow of a single feature film. The tool bends to the creator, rather than forcing the creator to learn the tool. It represents a massive acceleration in creative output and operational efficiency.
4/ Here is an angle the market is currently ignoring: infrastructure. If billions of users are generating and rendering personalized software on the fly, the bottleneck moves from the application layer to the network layer. Telco edge computing facilities will become the new App Store. Networks must evolve from passive pipes into active, real time rendering engines.
3/ Look at the economics of enterprise SaaS. Companies spend millions annually on bloated platforms, effectively paying exorbitant subscription fees for buttons their employees never click. Generative AI flips this model entirely. Why license a monolithic application when your team can generate a bespoke pipeline tracker for a specific campaign, use it for three months, and then delete it?
2/ Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang stated it clearly: "Everybody in the world is now a programmer. This is the miracle of artificial intelligence." Andrej Karpathy accurately called English "the hottest new programming language." The barrier to entry has collapsed completely. Natural language is the new compiler.
Google just dropped Nano Banana 2, an image model that delivers flawless 4K production assets at lightning speed but sounds like a direct-to-streaming Minions sequel. It might be the first time in Hollywood history that VFX supervisors are genuinely thrilled to build their entire pre-pro pipeline around a piece of fruit. 🍌
