In this first edition of "Version Control", we ask: if a tree falls in a forest and no one hears it, did it make a sound? Some might say that a surveillance drone might have captured the tree falling on video, and a scientist might have studied the video and created a study of why the tree fell.

Kenyan citizens are waiting to see what will happen with the #FinanceBill2024 on Tuesday 18th. They have been busy with digital activism. Last week, the private phone numbers of members of parliament were shared publicly. They received messages telling them not to vote to pass the bill.
Kenyans have now created a database of the names, phone numbers and companies owned by politicians, to boycott them. The taxes have pushed many citizens to the brink, with investors warning they will leave the country if the bill is passed.
The hand of the IMF is seen in everything
Wielding the whip of its much-needed bailout loans, the International Monetary Fund has issued strict diktats to the Kenyan government to undertake painful reforms of its public financial systems. By July 2024, Kenya must implement a unified Human Resource Information System linking up with the tax authority's platform, consolidating employee data across ministries and agencies in a multi-phase process. But that's not all - the global lender is also forcing an overhaul of procurement, mandating the nationwide adoption of an integrated e-procurement platform overseen by the World Bank by next fiscal year.

In the American summer of 2016, Noland Arbaugh went to a man-made lake at a kids' camp where he had been volunteering. As he dived into the lake, he felt his head bash into something and passed out. When he woke up next, he found himself paralyzed from the neck down. He had dislocated his spine. He would live as a paraplegic, puffing and sucking into a tube to move his motorized wheelchair.
This January, he got a Neuralink brain implant. He was the first patient to get the implant from Elon Musk’s Neuralink. The implant won’t help Arbaugh move again. But, it does offer the promise of reducing some of his physical limits. It will let him control his laptop by thinking about the commands. He's already been zipping around the web with the implant. He's using it to talk to friends instead of tapping his iPad.

Quote: "Last September, I received an offer from Sam Altman, who wanted to hire me to voice the current ChatGPT 4.0 system. He told me that he felt that by my voicing the system, I could bridge the gap between tech companies and creatives and help consumers to feel comfortable with the seismic shift concerning humans and AI. He said he felt that my voice would be comforting to people. After much consideration and for personal reasons, I declined the offer. Nine months later, my friends, family and the general public all noted how much the newest system named 'Sky' sounded like me.” - Actor, Scarlett Johansson.
