  How AI Became My Production Company

  May 31, 20269 minS0

  <p>Following on from last week’s piece about the extent to which I use AI, I’ve had a surprising number of messages asking which AI I actually use and what for.</p><p>I should immediately stress that I am not some sort of AI guru. I know people use Claude to write code, automate businesses and build entire internal operating systems. That is beyond me. I can’t code. I’m a one-man band, who occasionally hires freelancers. I’m self-taught. But here’s what I actually use and what for.</p><p>I stress the best method of al...

  How To Invest In Namibia

  May 27, 202657 minS0

  <p>Following my recent pieces on Namibia, several readers got in touch asking pretty much the same question: Fine. But how do you actually invest there?</p><p>Frontier markets are notoriously difficult to access. Interesting companies are privately owned, illiquid, unlisted or buried on obscure exchanges your broker has never heard of, or they carry their own small company risk that does not reflect the broader themes of the country.</p><p>To try and answer the question properly, I spoke to economist Rowland Brown, founder of Cirrus Capital, the country’s largest stockbroker, to discuss the best ways to...

  I've Outsourced My Judgement to AI. So Has Everyone Else.

  May 24, 20268 minS0

  <p>My youngest daughter, who is supremely intelligent, refuses to use AI. She doesn’t want it plagiarising her, she says, and she doesn’t want her mind to get lazy. She’s currently taking her finals at Cambridge, where, she tells me, almost everybody is using it for everything. But she won’t. And good for her.</p><p>Another friend won’t touch it either, because she is so fiercely protective of her privacy and doesn’t like AI and social media having so much access to our inner lives. </p><p>But these people are exceptions. Almost everyone I k...

  Copper: The Metal AI Actually Runs On

  May 20, 20264 minS0

  This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.theflyingfrisby.com<br/><br/><p>There’s a lot more to AI than software. </p><p>AI requires electricity, transformers, substations, cooling systems, data centres and more. That all means copper. Lots and lots of copper.</p><p>Right on cue, the copper price hit fresh highs last week at $6.68/lb, before pulling back. </p><p>So today I am going to take a long overdue look at copper. Was last week’s action just a spike that will soon fade away? Or was it part of s...

  Namibia: Africa’s Empty Frontier

  May 13, 20269 minS0

  <p>Namibia sits on the south-west coast of Africa. Below Angola, above South Africa, with Botswana to the east.</p><p>Portuguese explorers first reached the coast here in the 1480s. No natural harbour, brutal surf, cold Atlantic fog, the Namib Desert running straight into the sea, little access to fresh water. They planted crosses to mark their claims, turned around and went home again, never to return.</p><p>Today that coast is known as the Skeleton Coast because of shipwrecks and whale bones.</p><p>Three hundred years later, having decided there was too much tropical disease in...
