While walking to work, I just had a chat with ChatGPT to make sure I understood what the claimed singular solution to Navier-Stokes would mean *physically.* Here's a tweet thread it generated for me. Hope you find it helpful. (I rewrote it a bit to clarify what's surprising.)

WTF. What the hell is going on with Grok? When did consent shift from something 'to be proven' to 'assumed'? Accountability has to sit with top management. You can’t role out tech like this in name of freedom or worse just to be ‘edgy’.

There is a very fine line between care and control.
Somewhere over the past year, that line has been obliterated at IISER M.
Disheartening, to say the least. 2/2

[Sanskar Mani @SanskarMani03]

An institution is known by what it devotes itself to.
The institute I walked in and the one I'll be leaving in a semester are worlds apart. What once fostered scientific curiosity and a free spirited culture is now throwing it's weight around to surveillance hostel corridors.1/2

[Sanskar Mani @SanskarMani03]

The degradation of campus life at IISERM from when I joined to now is beyond me. A bunch of know-it-alls in the offices are screwing the culture six ways from Sunday. Absolute bafoonery.

@DearthOfSid Nahh, he is likable, Obama had a different charm though.

@ANI Good God!
1. We are gonna make our kids a complete mess. It's a godman exam, take it and move on🤦‍♂️
2. Never understood the fuss over boards, you take admission based on 'competitive exams', why so much emphasis on boards?

Presentations for MS thesis projects by the graduating batch. Also an opportunity for the group to get together.

Happy to announce India has won 2 silver & 2 bronze medals at the 14th European Girls' Mathematical Olympiad 2025 held in Prishtina, Kosovo, Apr 11-17. Huge congratulations to our brilliant young mathematicians! Keep watching this space for details.

@Roch_xn As for its uses, I have a contrarian view. When you make something as revolutionary as AI, you don't want to limit its uses to the imagination of a few. And generative AI might be the way to take it to the masses. We risk over-reliance on it, but that's a risk worth taking. (2/2)

[Sanskar Mani @SanskarMani03]

I agree there are legal and ethical ambiguities with the uses of AI. But I never understood the rhetoric of fear mongering around AI taking jobs. Indeed, the current paradigm is new, uncertain, and risk ridden, but that only means, we should be cautious and not cynical. (1/2)

[Rochan 🦋 @Roch_xn]

"Religion is great because it victims of capitalism are at least happy when they pray" ahh argument

[Sanskar Mani @SanskarMani03]

@Roch_xn Here's what I think: these concerns are valid but stem from looming uncertainty; it was the same with the Industrial Revolution, advances in medicinal science, weapons, computers, Internet. AI could very well be the next thing on the list. (1/2)

[Sanskar Mani @SanskarMani03]

Most importantly, more than anyone, we as science students should understand "Innovation should inspire hope not embark fear" (2/2)
