On today's episode of Admin Access, the boys unpack one of the top stories that has recently been making headlines, the Ferrari Luce. Ferrari recently revealed its first fully electric car, the Ferrari Luce, that brought forth a wave of criticism. They get into whether Ferrari made the right call going electric, with Evans arguing that a Ferrari's value has never lived in its specs, it lives in what people think of you when you drive one. Dominic pushes back, calling this the most Ferrari thing the brand has done in years. The one thing they agree on? The interior, built in collaboration with Jony Ive's LoveFrom studio, is genuinely impressive.They also get into SpaceX and its path toward a potential $2 trillion IPO, a valuation the boys put into sharp perspective by measuring it against Kenya's annual budget. They dig into what Elon has quietly been assembling, not just rockets and Starlink, but a vertical stack that stretches from compute infrastructure to lunar real estate, and why owning that stack makes SpaceX one of the hardest bets to argue against. Is the valuation justified? The boys have thoughts.To keep up with Dominic’s and Evan's Journey, check out their LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/dominic-mulinda/https://www.linkedin.com/in/evans-kanyithia-munene

On this episode of Admin Access, the host are joined by Gabriel Mbugua to dive deep into one of the most disruptive shifts happening in the creative tech world right now , the rise of AI-powered design tools, and what it actually means for the people building and designing our digital future.The conversation kicks off with Dominic sharing his hands-on experience with Anthropic's newly released Claude Design, a tool positioning itself as a serious competitor to Figma, Canva, and Adobe. The premise is bold: feed it your codebase and design system, and get production-ready prototypes, slides, and UI flows without a designer in the loop.Evans pushes back and questions whether it can truly replace a senior designer with real taste, real context, and real creative intuition.They also touch on the AI video generation wave, where entrepreneurs are packaging AI-generated short-form shows into subscription apps and people are actually paying for them.It raises a provocative question: how high is the general public's bar for quality, really? And are we, as craftsmen, sometimes too close to the work to see what the market actually values?To keep up with Dominic’s and Evan's Journey, check out their LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/dominic-mulinda/https://www.linkedin.com/in/evans-kanyithia-muneneLearn more about our guest story here :https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g2z0JQ2w-lw

On this episode of Admin Access, Dominic and Evans are joined by Gabriel to break down some of the biggest moves happening in AI over the past few weeks The conversation kicks off with Anthropic's Claude Mythos, a model the company calls its most powerful yet and one it has pointedly refused to release to the public. Instead, it sits behind a restricted partner programs called Project Glasswing, accessible only to roughly 40 organizations, almost all hyper-scalers and enterprise giants from the US and Asia. The trio dig into what that really means. Is this genuine caution around a tool capable of autonomously finding and exploiting zero-day vulnerabilities? Or is it a carefully engineered piece of rage-bait marketing designed to dominate the conversation without shipping a single line of code to the public? And beneath all of that , where does Africa fit in a framework that's already quietly drawing the lines of who gets protected and who gets left exposed? With MTN moving money across 16 markets and M-Pesa serving millions across East Africa, the stakes of being locked out of these conversations are anything but abstract.They also share how they actually use AI coding tools in their day-to-day work , Claude Code, Codex, Gemini and rate their real experiences without the marketing gloss. The consensus lands somewhere between a 4 and a 7 depending on the task, the context, and frankly, the mood of the model that day. Powerful as a tool. Frustrating as a colleague.The episode wraps with Claude Design steps , a tool Dominic has been using . From moving from a rough spec to a high-fidelity prototype in minutes and what that shift means for UI/UX designers who haven't yet recalibrated their expectations.

On this episode of Admin Access, Dominic and Evans pull back the curtain on a crisis that most of us felt before we fully understood it , the ripple effects of a war being fought 4,000 kilometers away, landing at the fuel pumps of Nairobi, Harare, Juba, and beyond.The boys break down why the Strait of Hormuz is arguably the single most important chokepoint on the planet, why 20% of the world's oil supply grinding to a halt is everyone's problem, and how a war in the Persian Gulf becomes a blackout in South Sudan's capital city by nightfall.Africa sits on 40% of the world's solar potential, significant natural gas reserves, and the most powerful river system on earth, yet is still scrambling for refined fuel it could be producing itself.Kenya's 16-day emergency stockpile.Mauritius missing a single shipment and feeling the heat. Zimbabwe is diluting its own petrol to keep engines running. Ethiopia manually rationing fuel to critical ministries. These aren't hypotheticals , they're happening now.They also connect a thread that doesn't get enough airtime: the fertilizer crisis hiding inside the energy crisis. With 34% of global urea exports passing through the same chokepoint, and Qatar's largest natural gas facility bombed, the food security implications are very real. When oil stops moving, food eventually stops growing.The takeaway? Africa isn't poor in energy , it's poor in strategy.The infrastructure was built for export, not sovereignty. And while private capital like the Dangote Refinery is doing what governments should have done decades ago, one refinery cannot insure a continent of 1.4 billion people.To keep up with Dominic’s and Evan's Journey, check out their LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/dominic-mulinda/https://www.linkedin.com/in/evans-kanyithia-munene

On this episode of Admin Access, Dominic and Evans dive deep into the growing chaos behind agentic AI workflows, and this time, it's not theory.Evans shares his hands-on journey with Openclaw, running on a dedicated Mac mini, and how it has fundamentally changed the way he works, thinks, and plans. From competitive intelligence and meeting prep to podcast research, this is a 24/7 digital employee running quietly in the background.But the wins come with warning signs. From an Amazon Kiro agent that took down an entire environment for 13 hours, to a Replit AI that deleted a whole production database despite explicit instructions not to, the incidents are stacking up fast.They break down why. An 85% per-step success rate compounds to just 20% across a 10-step workflow. Engineers are being mandated by leadership to adopt AI, with KPIs tied to token usage, while being expected to supervise work they can't fully review.And who owns the liability when agents go haywire? The engineer? The organization? The AI itself? Neither host has a clean answer, and they don't pretend to.Drawing parallels to Kenya's digital lending crisis and the cloud infra hype of 2012, Dominic and Evans make one thing clear. The gin is out of the bottle. The only question now is how you manage the blast radius.To keep up with Dominic’s and Evan's Journey, check out their LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/dominic-mulinda/https://www.linkedin.com/in/evans-kanyithia-munene__________________________________________________________________Join Dominic & Evans as they explore the world of tech and share their bold takes with guests on Admin AccessSubscribe to our podcast, drop a like, comment, and hit the notification bell to stay updated with our latest content.Don't forget to spread the word!

On this episode of Admin Access, Dominic and Alice dive deep into the world of agentic AI and this time, it's not theory. Dominic shares his hands-on journey with OpenClaw, currently one of the most starred projects on GitHub, and how it has fundamentally changed the way he works, thinks, and plans.He breaks down what sets agentic AI apart from your everyday ChatGPT interaction.This is a 24/7 digital employee that runs in the background, books meetings, manages your CRM, sends emails, files reports, and even prepares your morning briefing before you've had your first cup of coffee.From setting up a virtual private server to eventually dedicating an entire home machine to his agent, Dominic walks through the real costs, the real wins, and the real lessons learned along the way.But what does it actually cost? Do you need to be a developer? And honestly, is this a little scary? Alice brings these questions to the table, because beneath the excitement is a very real conversation about what it means to normalise a relationship with a machine that runs key parts of your life. They both don't shy away from it , leaning into both the opportunity and the weight of what that shift could mean for how we work, connect, and even how we see ourselves in an AI-first world.To keep up with Dominic’s and Alice, check out their LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/dominic-mulinda/https://www.linkedin.com/in/alicekanjejo/

On this episode of Admin Access, Dominic and Alice dive deep into one of the most controversial developments in Kenya's tax landscape , the arrival of KRA's Intelligence Analysis Tool (IAT), an AI-powered system designed to silently monitor taxpayer behaviour, and what it really means for the everyday Kenyan.Kenya's tax compliance story has historically been a frustrating one , with only 7 million Kenyans actively paying taxes out of 22 million registered taxpayers, and a staggering 600 billion shilling tax gap punching a hole in the country's revenue ambitions every single year. A combination of a complex filing system, poor consumer education, an 83% informal workforce, and an ITAX portal that even engineers struggle to navigate, has kept meaningful tax participation out of reach for the ordinary person for years.Then KRA announced IAT and panic spread across X almost overnight. The promise? Cross-referencing financial data, CRB records, and social media activity to build detailed taxpayer profiles and finally close the gap. On paper, it sounds like a long overdue reckoning.But the hosts pull back the curtain and ask the harder questions. Is this tool actually built for the majority of Kenyans, or does it simply tighten the grip on the already-compliant middle class while the informal sector remains untouched? Then there's the data privacy conversation. With KRA systems previously compromised, and government data collection exercises like Huduma Namba raising more questions than answers, the risk of a tax surveillance tool quietly becoming a political one is not dystopian it's historical precedent.To keep up with Dominic’s and Alice, check out their LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/dominic-mulinda/https://www.linkedin.com/in/alicekanjejo/

On this episode of Admin Access, Dominic and Evans dive deep into one of the most talked-about developments in Kenya's financial landscape , the arrival of Ziidi Trader, Safaricom's new stock trading feature embedded within M-Pesa, and what it really means for the everyday Kenyan investor.Kenya's retail investing scene has historically been a ghost town with only around 61,000 active traders in a country of 55 million people, and 97% of registered CDS accounts sitting completely dormant. A combination of bureaucratic red tape, high minimum investments, steep broker fees, and the painful memory of the 2006-2008 IPO boom that left many Kenyans burned, kept the ordinary person locked out of the market for decades.Then Ziidi Trader arrived and daily trades on the Nairobi Securities Exchange quadrupled almost overnight. The promise? 40 million M-Pesa users now have a direct gateway into the stock market. On paper, it sounds like a revolution.The hosts pull back the curtain and ask the harder questions. When you buy a share on Ziidi Trader, do you actually own it?Then there's the cost conversation. While Ziidi Trader charges less than traditional brokers, a 1.5% fee in each direction means a 3% round trip on every trade , in a market where even strong stocks average around 7% annual gains. Compare that to India's Zerodha or America's Robinhood, where zero-commission trading has genuinely shifted wealth participation, and Kenya still has a long road ahead.The bigger picture the boys are painting is this: Ziidi Trader may be less of a public utility and more of a masterclass in Safaricom building Africa's most powerful financial walled garden , controlling the payment rails, the app, and the brokerage in one closed loop.
The episode wraps up with the hosts asking three questions every Kenyan investor must sit with before opening that Zidi Trader app. First, are you investing or are you trading? Second, do you truly understand the real cost beyond the advertised fee? Third and finally, if the odds are stacked against day traders even in markets with better regulation and greater transparency, what makes you the exception?

On this episode of Admin Access, Dominic and Evans dissect brand trust, the dangers of ad-driven AI, and why strategic clarity separates winners from trend-chasers.The conversation kicks off with a civil lawsuit filed against WhatsApp claiming the platform isn't actually end-to-end encrypted despite using the Signal protocol. While WhatsApp's closed-source code makes independent verification difficult, the hosts quickly pivot to a more compelling question: does it even matter if the claims are true?The hosts break down how Meta has cultivated a brand of distrust,building shadow profiles, disregarding user privacy, and prioritizing data extraction over user preferences. The result is damning: even without conclusive evidence, accusations gain traction because people simply don't trust Meta's word. Unlike Apple, which has built its identity around privacy and can weather individual controversies, Meta is forced to spend enormous resources not on being safe, but on creating the perception of safety.The discussion shifts to OpenAI's plan to introduce ads into ChatGPT's free tier. This move could present a challenge, especially because when you Google something, you see multiple results and can spot which ones are ads. You still have choices. ChatGPT just gives you one answer. If advertisers start influencing that answer, trust disappears.The episode wraps with a masterclass in strategic clarity. Apple's decision to integrate Gemini into Siri isn't a failure,it's strategic maturity. They recognized they wouldn't win the fundamental LLM race, so they chose to dominate distribution instead.

On this episode of Admin Access, Dominic and Evans tackle carbon credits, vaporware business models, and the explosive rise of AI agents
The conversation kicks off with the shocking closure of Koko Networks, a 13-year-old Kenyan startup that served 1.5 million households with affordable alternative cooking fuel.
The hosts break down how Koko's entire model hinged on selling carbon credits internationally rather than making money from their actual customers, creating a fatal single point of failure when government authorization fell through.
The hosts unpack the nuances of carbon credit markets, from mandatory government caps on pollution to voluntary corporate posturing, revealing how the system can incentivize perverse outcomes like threatening to cut down forests unless someone pays you not to.
The discussion shifts to OpenClaw, an open-source AI assistant that exploded onto the scene with 150,000 GitHub stars in just 72 hours. This agentic AI is capable of managing files, sending emails, controlling browsers, and even authorizing bank transactions. The hosts explore fascinating use cases, including teams building entire "digital employees" with their own personas, company credit cards, and Slack accounts that independently research candidates, schedule interviews, and handle pre-screening calls.
The episode wraps with the hosts acknowledging that we've reached an inflection point where usefulness must be weighed against unprecedented risk and pondering whether your AI assistant will drain your bank account one day.

On this episode of Admin Access, Dominic takes the reins to explore something that doesn't get nearly enough attention in tech circles: the revolutionary transformation happening in space exploration and why it matters for Africa and the developing world.The conversation kicks off with a confession, watching a SpaceX booster land for the first time literally made his mind reboot. Until that moment, rockets were fancy disposable lighters, sparked once and tossed into the ocean. SpaceX changed everything by solving space's most boring problem: the price tag. He traces the arc from Sputnik's terrifying beeps in 1957 to today's economic-driven competition for orbital real estate. After NASA planted the flag on the moon, the world took a 40-year nap because getting to orbit cost a staggering $10,000 per kilogram.Enter SpaceX and reusable rockets. By bringing that cost down to around $1,300 per kilogram, a 10x improvement, they didn't just make space cheaper; they turned it into a logistics problem instead of a national prestige project. He compares this breakthrough to shipping containers revolutionizing global trade, calling reusable rockets "the containers of space."But here's where it gets strategic: the most valuable parts of space are surprisingly limited. Think of Low Earth Orbit (LEO) as prime downtown real estate, where Starlink grabbed the best spots by moving fast. Geosynchronous orbit (GEO) sits higher up, like a permanent rooftop camera that never moves. And the moon? It's becoming the ultimate gas station, with frozen water that can be turned into rocket fuel.The episode wraps up with Dominic addressing Africa's glaring absence from this race. and what happens when we wake up to find all the good parking spots already taken? The new space race isn't about flags and photo ops; it's about supply chains, strategic positioning, and economic advantage. And with SpaceX's Starship now capable of moving massive payloads, building lunar bases isn't science fiction anymore; it's logistics, infrastructure, and economics.

On this episode of Admin Access, Dominic and Evans delve into the fascinating world of prediction markets, exploring what makes platforms like Polymarket fundamentally distinct from traditional betting companies and why this distinction matters.The conversation kicks off with a viral debate: Is Polymarket just another betting company? The hosts break down the crucial difference between prediction markets and traditional sportsbooks. Traditional betting companies operate on an adversarial model where the house always wins; they set odds with built-in margins and profit when customers lose, while prediction markets like Polymarket and Kalshi function more like exchanges. They match buyers and sellers, charging transaction fees while remaining neutral on outcomes.This design creates something powerful. When participants stake real money on their predictions, they generate better odds and capture genuine sentiment. Thousands of people with different experiences collectively predict outcomes more accurately than traditional polls.The hosts also unpack the darker implications of prediction markets; they face challenges like wash trading, insider manipulation, and wealthy participants potentially skewing sentiment. This raises a critical question: can the crowd's collective insight truly shine through when a few big players with deep pockets can move the market?The episode wraps with Evans unpacking disclosed preferences, the phenomenon where people hide their true beliefs in traditional polls to avoid judgment, but reveal their genuine convictions when anonymity and real money are both on the line.

On this episode of Admin Access, hosts Dominic Mulinda and Evans navigate the turbulent waters of cryptocurrency markets and the revolutionary shifts reshaping the gaming industryThey kick things off with Bitcoin's dramatic decline, dropping from its $126,000 peak to below $90,000, a staggering 20% correction that has wiped out all gains made in 2025. The hosts dissect the mechanics behind this crash, explaining how a massive $800 million withdrawal from U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs triggered a cascade of fear-driven selling. They break down the complex world of Bitcoin ETFs for listeners, explaining how these instruments bridge traditional finance with the crypto ecosystem, allowing institutional investors and pension funds to gain Bitcoin exposure without navigating the "wild west" of direct cryptocurrency ownership. The conversation takes an intriguing turn as they discuss contrarian moves by major players like Microsoft and El Salvador's President Nayib Bukele, who continue doubling down on Bitcoin despite IMF warnings, embodying the "hodl" mentality that defines crypto culture.They then unpack Valve Corporation's game-changing announcement of the Steam Machine,a product launch that represents less of an innovation and more of a strategic revolution. The host explore how Valve has executed a masterful vertical integration strategy, building SteamOS on Arch Linux and creating hardware that functions simultaneously as a gaming console and a fully-capable PC. This move positions Steam to challenge Xbox, PlayStation, and Nintendo simultaneously, leveraging their unmatched game distribution network and extensive library that spans AAA titles to indie gems. The hosts draw a compelling analogy, comparing Steam to YouTube in the gaming world,a platform democratizing game distribution, while Xbox and PlayStation remain more like Netflix, focusing on curated, cinematic experiences.To keep up with Dominic’s and Evan's Journey, check out their LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/dominic-mulinda/https://www.linkedin.com/in/evans-kanyithia-munene__________________________________________________________________Join Dominic & Evans as they explore the world of tech and share their bold takes with guests on Admin AccessSubscribe to our podcast, drop a like, comment, and hit the notification bell to stay updated with our latest content.Don't forget to spread the word!

On this episode of Admin Access, Dominic and Evans dive deep into the future of technology, exploring everything from privacy concerns to Tesla's unprecedented trillion-dollar pay package proposal for Elon Musk.The conversation kicks off with a sobering reality check about modern privacy. The hosts discuss emerging recording devices like Plod that can discreetly capture and transcribe conversations without anyone knowing. Their advice? Assume everyone's recording. In today's world, the only truly private space left is your own thoughts, though even that boundary is being challenged by technologies like Neuralink.The duo then ventures into Tesla shareholders voting on an extraordinary compensation package that could net Elon Musk a trillion dollars if he scales Tesla to an $8.5 trillion market cap. These aren't just big numbers, they're historically unprecedented. The hosts unpack the rationale: aligning Musk's interests with company performance and protecting against activist investors who might try to separate the visionary from his company. They predict shareholders will vote yes, acknowledging that Tesla's valuation is inseparably tied to Musk's personal brand and vision.The conversation expands to compare Tesla's achievements across Musk's empire. While SpaceX demonstrates tangible value with record-breaking launch cadences and Starlink's success, Tesla faces intensifying competition from Chinese manufacturers in its core automotive business. However, the hosts recognize that Tesla's full self-driving technology represents a massive competitive advantage, one that could redefine transportation.To keep up with Dominic’s and Evan's Journey, check out their LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/dominic-mulinda/https://www.linkedin.com/in/evans-kanyithia-munene__________________________________________________________________Join Dominic & Evans as they explore the world of tech and share their bold takes with guests on Admin AccessSubscribe to our podcast, drop a like, comment, and hit the notification bell to stay updated with our latest content.Don't forget to spread the word!

On this episode of Admin Access, the boys dive deep into the intersection of AI advancement and ethical responsibility, exploring questions that are becoming increasingly urgent as artificial intelligence weaves itself into the fabric of our daily lives.Evans kicks things off with robots, specifically the $20,000 humanoid Neo designed to fold laundry and do household chores. Add to that a study showing LLMs perform 84% better when you're rude to them, and suddenly the signs of an approaching singularity feel less like science fiction and more like an inevitable tomorrow. He raises a haunting question: at what point do we acknowledge we've gone too far?Dominic introduces the concept of AI alignment through his current read, revealing that chip manufacturers like Nvidia and AMD are already designing for a robot-filled world just five years away. The discussion becomes more serious when they examine a Stanford study showing that major LLMs struggle to separate fact from belief, exhibiting dangerous confirmation bias. Historical examples like the COMPASS algorithm ,which racially profiled defendants for recidivism with alarming inaccuracy ,serve as cautionary tales of what happens when we blindly trust AI systems.The episode wraps with a shocking statistic: at least 77% of people now view ChatGPT as a search engine, treating AI-generated responses as gospel truth. When you layer on the fact that one million people discuss suicide with ChatGPT weekly, the stakes become crystal clear. If these systems can't reliably distinguish fact from fiction, we're not just risking misinformation, we're risking lives.To keep up with Dominic’s and Evan's Journey, check out their LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/dominic-mulinda/https://www.linkedin.com/in/evans-kanyithia-munene__________________________________________________________________Join Dominic & Evans as they explore the world of tech and share their bold takes with guests on Admin AccessSubscribe to our podcast, drop a like, comment, and hit the notification bell to stay updated with our latest content.Don't forget to spread the word!

On this episode of Admin Access, Evans takes us through some of the things that caught his attention this past week.The episode opens with a sobering story about a Xiaomi electric vehicle fire where the driver struggled to escape due to electric-only doors, a tragic reminder of what Evans calls "optimistic hubris."Drawing from Nassim Taleb's concept of "Lindy," he argues that just because we've achieved breakthroughs in electric vehicles doesn't mean we should reinvent every aspect of car design. Time-tested mechanical solutions like manual door releases exist for good reason.The conversation shifts to AWS's recent outage, which brought down major platforms including Netflix and Reddit. Evans highlights that a third of the world's internet relies on a service most people have never heard of.Unlike physical businesses constrained by geography and logistics, software operates in winner-takes-all markets where three dominant players control everything, leaving smaller competitors fighting for scraps. For founders building in this space, the lesson is clear: you need defensible moats and relentless innovation, because unseating giants is exponentially harder than it appears.Evans critiques how Android manufacturers blindly copied Apple's controversial "liquid glass" aesthetic, even though Apple's own users weren't thrilled with it.The frustration peaks when discussing wireless earbuds that eliminate physical buttons in favor of touch controls, sacrificing usability for trend-chasing. It's a reminder that excellence isn't just about aesthetics, it's about fundamental user experience.The episode wraps up with Buzzkill, a notification management app that automatically clears alerts after set time periods. His three-tier system (30 minutes, 2 hours, 4 hours) transforms notification chaos into something manageable, proving that sometimes the best solutions come from thoughtful constraints.To keep up with Dominic’s and Evan's Journey, check out their LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/dominic-mulinda/https://www.linkedin.com/in/evans-kanyithia-munene__________________________________________________________________Join Dominic & Evans as they explore the world of tech and share their bold takes with guests on Admin AccessSubscribe to our podcast, drop a like, comment, and hit the notification bell to stay updated with our latest content.Don't forget to spread the word!

On this episode of Admin Access, Dominic and Evans delve into the fascinating intersection of perception and reality in today's economy, exploring how tech giants navigate the delicate balance between hype and substance.The conversation kicks off with Meta's bold move into debt financing to fuel their AI ambitions, sparking a broader discussion about whether companies can survive on perception alone.Drawing parallels to Amazon and Uber's early years, the hosts examine how the "perception economy" has grown to potentially overshadow the real economy. They dissect how stock valuations are often driven more by anticipated future earnings than current profitability, with OpenAI's potential trillion-dollar IPO serving as a prime example, despite operating at a $7.8 billion loss.The duo explores investment strategies, including Jim Simons' correlation-based approach, and debates Apple's missed opportunity in the AI hype cycle. Things take a scientific turn as they tackle groundbreaking research from Oregon, where scientists have successfully created viable embryos from skin cells. This achievement, while preliminary with only a 9% success rate, opens profound questions about reproductive autonomy and the future of fertility treatment. The episode wraps up with one host questioning biology's track record of bold claims, the other defending the iterative nature of scientific breakthroughs, citing Ozempic's quiet 14-year journey from discovery to mainstream adoption.To keep up with Dominic’s and Evan's Journey, check out their LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/dominic-mulinda/https://www.linkedin.com/in/evans-kanyithia-munene00:00 Intro00:56 Meta's Debt-Fueled AI Investments02:28 The Perception Economy vs. Real Economy04:13 How Stock Markets Run on Perception05:48 Jim Simons' Correlation Strategy09:50 Deep Dive: The Science Behind Skin Cell Embryos13:25 Same-Sex Couples & Biological Children: The Future?14:00 Why We Don't Trust Biologists19:25 Breaking Down the Chromosomal Errors21:32 The Ozempic Story: 14 Years in the Making__________________________________________________________________Join Dominic & Evans as they explore the world of tech and share their bold takes with guests on Admin AccessSubscribe to our podcast, drop a like, comment, and hit the notification bell to stay updated with our latest content.Don't forget to spread the word!

On this episode of Admin Access, Dominic and Evans dive deep into the increasingly blurred line between human governance and artificial intelligence, exploring what happens when machines move from the background into positions of power.
The conversation kicks off with Albania's groundbreaking announcement of appointing an AI cabinet minister, a system called Diella (meaning "the sun") designed to monitor corruption and streamline government services.
While this might sound like science fiction, the hosts reveal that the idea of computational governance isn't new. From the Soviet Union's 1950s cybernetics debates to Chile's ambitious Cybersyn project in the early 1970s, humanity has long grappled with whether machines should make societal decisions.
Dominic makes a compelling case for AI ministers under certain conditions. Drawing parallels to JP Morgan's LLM Suite, which is already making senior-level investment decisions and replacing junior analyst work, he argues that if AI is disrupting every vertical in the market and outperforming knowledge workers with over a decade of experience, why should the government be exempt? His logic: AI might actually make better decisions than corrupt officials, especially with proper safeguards and term limits.
But Evans raises critical concerns about who controls these systems and how we prevent "corruption for me but not for thee" scenarios.
The discussion becomes even more relevant when they shift to OpenAI's latest announcement: Sora 2, their advanced video generation model, and its accompanying TikTok-like app.This conversation opens up a Pandora's box of questions about synthetic content, deepfakes, and the future of authenticity online.
With features like "cameos," where you can upload your likeness and let friends use it in AI-generated videos, the hosts wrestle with IP infringement, consent, and what social media will look like in the future.
They predict an economy where celebrities sell cameos for AI usage, and authenticity becomes the ultimate currency.

On this episode of Admin Access, Dominic and Evans dive deep into the dangerous intersection of convenience and security in our increasingly connected world.The hosts unpack two crypto security breaches that serve as stark reminders of how our digital dependencies can become our greatest vulnerabilities.They explore the story of an engineer who lost half a million dollars through a malicious VS Code extension designed for Solidity development. The fake extension operated as a Trojan horse, installing remote access software that gave hackers complete control over the victim's machine. This incident highlights how even experienced developers can fall prey to sophisticated attacks when prioritizing convenience over caution.The conversation then shifts to what's being called the greatest supply chain hack in history - a breach of NPM, JavaScript's package manager. Through a phishing attack on a maintainer, hackers injected malicious code into billions of downloads, targeting Ethereum and Solana transactions. While only $20 was stolen before detection, the incident exposed the fragility of our software ecosystem's house of cards.The hosts tackle President Trump's recent threats to retaliate against countries imposing digital service taxes on U.S. tech firms through tariffs.They discuss the broader challenges of international taxation in the digital age, noting how unclear and constantly changing tax policies create unfair burdens for businesses across the continent.They wrap the episode by debating Android's new requirement for developer registration on side-loaded apps, questioning whether this represents necessary security evolution or the death of Android's open philosophy.Drawing parallels to iOS's forced opening in the EU, they argue this might be a strategic moat-building exercise rather than genuine security concerns.To keep up with Dominic’s and Evan's Journey, check out their LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/dominic-mulinda/https://www.linkedin.com/in/evans-kanyithia-munene

On this episode of Admin Access, Dominic and Evans dive deep into Apple's latest strategic moves, dissecting the iPhone Air and questioning whether this ultra-thin device signals Apple's preparation for the foldable market. They explore the psychology behind Apple's pricing strategy, drawing parallels to the classic Goldilocks effect and debating whether the Air is designed to drive customers toward higher-margin Pro models rather than succeed as a standalone product.The conversation shifts to a major industry shakeup as the hosts analyze Atlassian's $610 million all-cash acquisition of Arc Browser's parent company.With Arc having raised $128 million at a $550 million valuation, this represents just an 11% bump - a sobering reality check in today's tech landscape.They discuss why enterprise giant Atlassian would invest in a beloved but revenue-struggling browser, exploring themes of acqui-hiring and the emerging AI browser battleground where companies like Perplexity and OpenAI are positioning for dominance.To keep up with Dominic’s and Evan's Journey, check out their LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/dominic-mulinda/https://www.linkedin.com/in/evans-kanyithia-munene__________________________________________________________________Join Dominic & Evans as they explore the world of tech and share their bold takes with guests on Admin AccessSubscribe to our podcast, drop a like, comment, and hit the notification bell to stay updated with our latest content.Don't forget to spread the word!
