As technology advances people are finding out just how much humans can be replaced. With the hype over AI some don't seem to understand that millions of jobs will be lost in the very near future.

The full rollout of AI has said that over 30% of the current jobs will be lost.

AI eliminated nearly 4,000 jobs in May, report says

People are already struggling with poverty that have never been seen before. There are 6 African countries dealing with fresh IMF loans, which is causing some of the highest rates of taxation coming down to the peoples take home money. Vat taxes on items purchased are also increasing.

With increased poverty, comes crime, if people want to admit it or not. From India, to South East Asia, even harder his are European countries.

Work strikes, France destructive protests, Ireland has the highest housing costs in the world, according some sources. Accra, Ghana is the second most expensive city in the world according to the incomes of their citizens.

Now this hacking of the Facebook page of the Bank of Zambia may be comical to some and not the first of it's kind.

During Ethiopia's horrific 2 years of slaughter on the people of Tigray, Ethiopia airlines Facebook page was hacked several times.

Most people around the world have no idea that many African countries have been using mobile money for years. When Western countries have no idea about this technology or the ease of which having your phone serve as your bank and your wallet.

It's proven to be very secure, even a thief can't use your money unless they know your 4 digit pin which is like the pin number western people use for their debit and credit cards.

Will technology affect this type of monetary use?

The official Bank of Zambia just 2 days ago took over Betternow Finance Company Limited, on July 21, 2023.

The Bank has issued an official statement from Twitter, this is our lives now? An official bank of an entire country is hacked on Facebook, then turns to another dangerous social media platform which is in the hands of a racist, immature, petulant lunatic of a child Elon Musk's Twitter.

The Bank's tweet is featured here below:

The sad fact that is as I'm writing this, the Facebook page still remains under the control of others. What information can they change, or steal who knows. People are clearly sending DM messages to the bank, are there messages in their inbox that might contain a customers private information?

People might have inadvertently sent their personal information, people who didn't know better. It's often happened that people have inboxed the nonprofit page I assist in running and given me their phone numbers. Thinking since the name is Lacey that the page was that of one of their friends by the same name.

Either way is this a sign of what's to come? As more social media platforms come out for the use of connecting the world or making life easier, even though it's taking away jobs. Humans are now going to be the slave to technology.

Thank you for reading 🙏🏽 Please consider buying a coffee for Lacey's House efforts in Gender Equality & Children's Rights as it tries to move international.
