🚨 Convenience and PG Fees Charge by IRCTC
• Credit Cards : ₹30 + Upto 1.8% PG +GST
• UPI : ₹20 +GST
They Don't Even Accept RuPay CC on UPI
IRCTC Passes Payment Gateway Fees To Users
But Govt Expects Merchants Will Bear This Cost
Why Not Remove PG Fees From IRCTC First?
Some future PM of India will enter office with the mindset that he only has 5 years in office and doesn't give a shit about re-election or his party's electability in state elections. India will see its boldest reforms then.
What India has now is someone who wants to win the next general election and every state election till then, and be PM for basically forever. So he will not make any disruptive move and backpedal at the slightest pushback, and who thinks glacial progress is compensated for with "stability," even if at the cost of huge political concessions to pressure groups and the opposition.
This is not a good enough deal for an aspirational Indian who wants to experience prosperity within his lifetime (and not at some distant post-retirement age).
A Hindu family from Hirenandur, Kalaburagi, alleges that their daughter, working @ garment factory, was abducted by persons from Bangladesh. Despite a complaint, 4 months have passed without action
Investigate urgently,trace the girl& ensure justice

Any one who is privileged therefore owes it to the world to work on the most obnoxiously hard problems, not just build a life for themselves, but uplift people by building great companies and employing as many people as they can.
The privileged must risk it all, over and over again, until they are tortured to greatness.
This is my version of socialism, re- distribute risk. The rich have a moral imperative to embrace more risk.
These are the developments of the last few days.
Sam Altman has said OpenAI will not go public in 2026, calling an IPO now an “ill advised moment” given mounting AI safety concerns.
He also said OpenAI would melt all its GPUs if that were what it took to keep humanity alive, while adding that he does not think it will come to that.
Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei has called on AI companies to deliberately slow the pace of capability gains so safety work can catch up.
Sam Altman says AI leaders including Elon Musk, Dario Amodei, Mark Zuckerberg and Sundar Pichai will eventually meet to discuss slowing down AI.
Altman, Amodei and Musk have already publicly backed pacing frontier development, and Altman has suggested that leading labs may be close to a joint safety agreement.
This is a welcome move. The next one to two years look set to focus on safety measures, sufficient guardrails, and legislation on the use and restriction of AI, so that the technology does not become a threat to humanity.
Looks like this moment is similar to how the world has regulated nuclear weapons.
Nice vibe. But heard this trend was started to flood OpenAI with a fresh set of images of people - faces and bodies - for it to train on. The trend was seeded on Meta platforms and now is taking over X as well. Tomorrow, we may see an OpenAI model generated "Piyush Goyal promoted investment scam." If you sue them, they will say yourself gave the image to us for training. We are not responsible for what users generate.
Jumping to 6G for mere headlines without fixing telecom infra is a trap. Telcos are still milking consumers to recover 5G spends. Rushing to 6G will just increase monthly bills of consumers. BUILD THE BASE FIRST!
Bharat For 6G! 🇮🇳
An absolute delight to announce India’s endorsement of the Call to Action for 6G Leadership and Security , joining 24 like-minded nations in advancing an open, interoperable, secure and resilient next-generation network.
This global partnership will help accelerate the development of secure 6G wireless networks and coordinate national strategies well ahead of 6G’s expected rollout in the 2030s. For Bharat, this complements our ongoing work in global standardisation and spectrum fora, as we strive to secure 10% of global 6G standards.
Special thanks to my Cabinet colleague, Shri @JitinPrasada ji, for representing India at the G20 Innovation Ministerial.
I resigned from Anthropic today. I spent the last three years doing pretraining research at both OpenAI and Anthropic. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing straight to self-improving superintelligence and gambling with our lives. More thoughts below.
