Kenya has its first Ebola case. It is probably not Kenya that should worry most. Across 40,500 simulated epidemics, Kenya’s risk of ten or more further cases is 5%. Uganda’s is 27%, or 72% if its response falters. Second in our series on outbreak risk. open.substack.com/pub/flashn…
A technician at a Siberian plague institute died of ‘pneumonia of undetermined origin’. Moscow denies an accident; its own response suggests otherwise. Our model, built in under six hours with open sources and AI, finds speed of isolation is decisive. open.substack.com/pub/flashn…

Ran a scenario on #Irkutsk. A lab technician at Russia's Anti-Plague Institute died on 2 October of suspected #pneumonic #plague. Several hospitals are sealed for three weeks and about 200 contacts are under observation. Moscow still calls it pneumonia of unknown origin. (1/5)

The great race for AI dominance is on and the advantage may not lie with the US model of hyperscalers. Big tech's rapid AI adoption creates massive vulnerabilities, while China's 'AI in a box' approach offers a competing paradigm. The race is on. bit.ly/4ovVA2P
The Ukraine war exposed the post-Cold War order as a house of cards. America sends mixed signals, middle powers play all sides, sanctions spring leaks. What's emerging? A mercantile free-for-all where agility beats ideology. bit.ly/47h8lZ1 #GeopoliticalRisk #UkraineWar
Canada sits atop vast energy riches yet finds itself curiously powerless hostage to north-south pipelines and American cloud servers. The nation's energy sovereignty hinges not just on what flows through its pipes, but on who controls the digital valves.
