From AI-powered cyberattacks to governments elected via Discord – this week's tech landscape is wilder than fiction.
**🔍 What's Inside:**
**🌍 Africa Under Siege:** The continent faces 3,239 weekly cyber attacks per organisation – the highest globally. With education sectors hit hardest at 4,178 incidents weekly, and South Africa seeing a 26% spike, the digital battleground is intensifying.
**🤖 The s1ngularity Attack:** Witness the first documented case of AI-weaponised malware. This sophisticated supply chain attack compromised millions of developer machines, exposed 6,700 private repositories, and demonstrated how artificial intelligence is revolutionising cybercrime.
**🏛️ Discord Democracy:** Nepal just made history by electing their interim Prime Minister through a gaming chat app. Over 7,700 votes cast on Discord selected former Chief Justice Sushila Karki – marking the world's first internet-native political revolution.
**🎬 Hollywood's AI Gamble:** OpenAI backs "Critterz," an animated feature aiming for Cannes 2026. Nine months, under $30 million – versus the traditional three years and massive budgets. Is this filmmaking's future or just faster mediocrity?
**🏆 AI Darwin Awards:** From Taco Bell's drive-through disasters to lawyers citing non-existent cases, we celebrate 2025's most spectacular AI failures. Because apparently, we needed formal recognition for breathtakingly bad AI decisions.
**💼 Skills Revolution:** The World Economic Forum reveals that by 2030, creativity and systems thinking will trump traditional academic skills. Are we witnessing the death of the exam-based education system?
Join Lyn, John, and Stephen as they dissect the week's most fascinating developments in ICT legislation, cybersecurity, and AI governance.
