The price you pay for surrounding yourself with self-serving advisors/nexus…nothing is entirely surprising.

@neutranino @kan_writersside @nathan_archana Many congratulations, Jacob!

#WATCH | Chennai, Tamil Nadu: Chairman of Tata Sons, Natarajan Chandrasekaran says, "... I have learnt and imbibed two things in my life, which I want to share with you. I am a runner. A famous marathon runner, Juma Ikangaa, once said, “The will to win means nothing without the will to prepare.” It is not just about the desire to win, but the willingness to put in the effort and prepare... Hard work, preparation and learning from setbacks are essential. There will be failures and disappointments, but every setback teaches you to put in more effort. Fear of failure stops progress. Every failure is a step forward, and every success builds confidence... You must run your own race. Everyone has their own journey, skills, strengths, weaknesses and goals. Do not get distracted by others, as they may have different targets. Measure yourself against yourself."

Curious about the not so obvious message/implications of urgency to apply breaks - business, valuations, and use cases (and/or use in containing what may go rogue).

[Anatoli Kopadze @AnatoliKopadze]

Ok this is starting to feel like a f*cking disaster.

The CEO of Anthropic just published an article admitting AI is already building the next generation of AI by itself.

He says within 6 to 12 months a rogue swarm could take over the entire internet and cause hundreds of billions of dollars in damage.

And what makes it scarier, Elon Musk just backed up everything Dario said.

All of this dropping just days after Jacob Coxon went viral with his warning about AI and the extinction of humanity.

Tell me this timing isn't strange.

@TantriPrasanna Much needed and critical for it to be scaled up swiftly.

They pushed the line so far, took everything there was for granted, without the realisation how fragile it all was in the changing sands of time, that the clock was put in reverse.

[Rahul Sharma @rahulmedia]

@Bhayankur @ShekharGupta Indeed, quite prescient.

Interesting development in Court. SC expresses concern after NCLT, NCLAT order found to have used fake legal precedents generated by AI @AshmitTejKumar reports. SC quashes NCLT, NCLAT orders in Essel Infraprojects case after noting AI hallucinations in the order.
SC says such use of AI can prove to be catastrophic, cautions against unregulated use of AI.
SC directs Bar Council to set up a committee on use of AI in judicial decision making @CNBCTV18Live @CNBCTV18News #AI #CourtCorner

To live, and to endeavour to rise above, with acceptance of the primal nature of the world at large.

This is what happens when a country decides brick is not a basic material but a design language.

Prestige University. Indore, Madhya Pradesh, India. Designed by Sanjay Puri Architects. Completed January 2026. 30,843 m².

The defining feature is a 9,000 square metre walkable roof comprising 463 stepped platforms, usable as individual social spaces or as a single open auditorium for up to 9,000 people. The design was modelled on India’s ancient stepwells civic gathering spaces that existed for over 1,100 years before the building typology was ever theorized.

The brick screens on the east, west and south facades are not only decorative. They are a ventilated climate skin, reducing heat gain in a city that sits between 30°C and 40°C for eight months of the year. Landscaped courtyards pull indirect natural light through every level. Minimal air conditioning. Minimal artificial lighting.

This is brick doing structural work, climatic work, spatial work and cultural work simultaneously.

Africa has the same soils for brick and enough resources to produce it. The same need for spaces where 9,000 people can gather. The question is when we start investing in our materials with the same seriousness.

A decade ago, two of the smartest minds on AI, Geoffrey Hinton and Vinod Khosla famously said “People should stop training as radiologists now.” Today there are more radiologists than ever. All fine, but somewhere in America there is a geriatric medicine practitioner who could instead have been reviewing scans from the beach for $600K had they not picked a different career based on an AI prediction.

Don’t let AI predictions ruin your life. Remember, nobody knows shit.

Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri had a productive meeting with U.S. Under Secretary of State for Economic Affairs Jacob Helberg @UnderSecE. They agreed to take forward cooperation under Pax Silica and the broader economic and technology engagements, including in AI and critical minerals.

Today, India takes a defining step in its civil nuclear journey, advancing the second stage of its nuclear programme.

The indigenously designed and built Prototype Fast Breeder Reactor at Kalpakkam has attained criticality.

This advanced reactor, capable of producing more fuel than it consumes, reflects the depth of our scientific capability and the strength of our engineering enterprise. It is a decisive step towards harnessing our vast thorium reserves in the third stage of the programme.

A proud moment for India. Congratulations to our scientists and engineers.

[INVEST UP @_InvestUP]

As per standard protocols laid by State Government, the MoU signed with Puch AI on 23 Mar 2026 was reviewed.

Necessary details as per SOP were sought from the investor, but they failed to provide them timely. Due diligence showed lack of net worth and credible financial linkages for the project's scale. On directions of the State Government, the MoU is cancelled effective today. No rights or obligations remain.

The MoU has been cancelled in the interest of transparency and highest level of probity in governance, which are in the core of Government of Uttar Pradesh.

Dr Neeraj Mittal, Secretary of the Ministry of Petroleum & Natural Gas, writes to all State/UT Chief Secretaries

"I wish to now inform you that w.e.f 23.3.26 till further notification, another 20% is being allotted to the State, which would take the overall allocation to 50% of the pre-crisis level. The additional allocation of 20% shall be given on priority to the following sectors: restaurants, dhabas, hotels, industrial canteens, food processing/dairy, subsidised canteens/outlets run by state governments or local bodies for food, community kitchens, 5kg FTL for migrant labourers, along with measures to ensure no diversion...," reads the letter

Create enough hallucinated legal arguments, flawed engineering calculations and backdoor-ridden code, and the slop vats fill faster than our capacity to tell good work from bad, writes Tim Harford.⁠
