Assam lost 27 rhinos a year to poachers at the peak of the crisis, in 2013-14.

That fell to three in 2019, two in 2020, two in 2021, then, in 2022 — the year Zorba died — to zero, Assam's first poaching-free year in 45 years. 12/12

@fireflyspace @NASA What altitude is this flying at, at the moment ?

@MarisaNoelle77 Ancient Japan, via Shogun (By James Clavell). Greatest trip I’ve ever made.

[Nikhil Kaimal @Nikhil_Kaimal]

One of the greatest ads ever. RIP Ustad.

[Trendulkar @Trendulkar]

It's true.

Trying to format an email in Gmail is wild. I'm taking a wild guess here that the old MS Paint team probably moved into Gmail's content formatting team.

@dhaval_shroff Would be great to read an on-the-ground perspective of how your team is so effective? How are you folks not drowning in meeting overloads given the complexity of your work & the interdependencies (h/w, s/w, AI) that need to be managed? Elon is probably a big factor but what else?

[Nikhil Kaimal @Nikhil_Kaimal]

@MarisaNoelle77 Congratulations Marisa!! 🥳🥳

History often enlightens people in ways that they don't wish to be enlightened. Bravo and thank you @DalrympleWill for shining a bright light on such beautiful historical nuances.

[Novara Media @novaramedia]

'India was the epicentre of the ancient world.' William Dalrymple sat down with @ayocaesar to talk about the origins of algebra, Indian gems in Anglo-Saxon Britain and why Genghis Khan was scared of India.

[David Perell @david_perell]

I asked Sam Altman: “Will AI kill writing?”

He said: “I don’t see any evidence whatsoever that AI seems to be killing writing.

Let’s say we have a system that can write better than a human. Do you think the most popular novel of 2027 has a human name on it or not?

When I finish a great book, the first thing I go do is I want to know more about the writer. I want to know their life story. And I don’t think I’ll ever have that feeling about AI writing.

There’s something about reading an incredible book and connecting to a person. Even though you don’t literally know them, you feel like you do and you feel like you have this important shared human experience, and that’s a significant percentage of the enjoyment of a great book to me.

I bet we’ll keep doing that.”

India rarely if ever gets credit for its phenomenal effort in preserving biodiversity. Considering the million problems that we have it would have been easy to just drop the ball in this. But we didn’t. Hope to see cheetah rewilding succeed followed by more: ostrich, Hippos.

Among all the doom and gloom a fantastic sliver of news where human ingenuity is thankfully counteracting human failings. I hope @TheOceanCleanup gets the support it needs. Hey @JeffBezos how about adding 'cleaning up of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch' to your credentials?

[The Ocean Cleanup @TheOceanCleanup]

For the first time, we can put a price tag on cleaning up the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. We now call upon the world - governments, companies, individuals - to make this cleanup happen.

[Nikhil Kaimal @Nikhil_Kaimal]

Any corporates out there who want so real green credits to their name, take note!!

[Boyan Slat @BoyanSlat]

Cost of the Las Vegas Sphere: $2.3B

Cost of cleaning up the Great Pacific Garbage Patch (projected): $4B

It literally takes two big balls to clean the ocean.

[Robert Haggart @HaggartRobert]

@BoyanSlat You're telling me that if 1% of the profits of the world's plastic-producing companies went towards the @TheOceanCleanup, we have this problem solved? That's amazing. Now we just need the governments to make it an obligation.

@airindia just want to say a huge thank you to your staff at LHR, especially Stalone, Kiran and Praseen for helping me through a difficult morning at the airport! Their support and conduct was exemplary 🙏

[Nikhil Kaimal @Nikhil_Kaimal]

@VirginAtlantic Many thanks. But that link seems to disappear once I’ve cancelled my booking 😕 I’ve tried on the webpage you’ve suggested and apart from this reference there’s no active link available ‘Click the red ‘Need Help? Chat to us’ icon in bottom right side of the page.’

@juliangough Just read the essay you wrote for him Julian and the 'special dinners' bit nearly broke me. My condolences to you and the family, and congratulations for your luck to have had him as a dad. 🙂

[Nikhil Kaimal @Nikhil_Kaimal]

@juliangough Apologies in advance ���

@kevmcdonk Ha :) At one point I had IISreset as my password as it was the one word I could type blind. Started my career with SP 2003. Genuinely never thought it'd grow to what it has.
