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.

When India accidentally wiped out its vultures, half a million people died in five years.

The bird doing zoomies in this video runs the most extreme digestive system in the animal kingdom. Vulture stomach acid sits near pH 1, strong enough to destroy anthrax, rabies, and botulism in the carcasses they eat. A flock strips a cow to bone in about 45 minutes.

India had 50 million of them. Free sanitation at national scale, in a country where religious custom means most cattle die natural deaths and every dead cow becomes a carcass someone has to deal with.

Then the patent on diclofenac expired in 1994. Farmers started using the cheap painkiller on livestock. Trace amounts left in a carcass cause kidney failure in vultures. Within a decade, 50 million birds fell to a few thousand. The fastest collapse of any bird species since the passenger pigeon.

The carcasses didn't disappear. Feral dogs took the vultures' place and brought rabies with them. Rotting remains leached into waterways. In districts where vultures once thrived, human death rates rose more than 4 percent. Economists at Chicago and Warwick put the toll at 100,000 extra deaths a year and $69 billion in annual damages.

So yes, the goofy bird sprinting down the walkway is adorable. It's also a disease firewall that evolution spent millions of years building and one generic painkiller nearly erased in ten.

Ideally shri Dharmendra Pradhan ji should have been made to resign when he got the UGC regulations.

If that would have happened the most Hon'ble PM & the current Government would not be in the mess they are today.

But then this government does not value peaceful protesters!

[A.J. @beingabhi2712]

Whole country is busy in resignation of Dharmendra Pardhan.

Meanwhile somewhere in sugar factory of Maharashtra :

Reservation activist joining a protest for fair education system 😭😭🤣🤣🤣

[Paritsh Sharrma (🗣️Paritosh) @Paritolkks]

The biggest injustice in the education system.

One student pays ₹1 lakh in fees.

Another pays ₹3,000.

Both get the same education.

One student scores 70/100 and still doesn't get a seat.

Another scores 30/100 and gets the same seat.

For the last 70 years, this is so normalised that nobody even treats that as an injustice.

The irony.

[Abhishek @MSDianAbhiii]

Me watching my SC/ST friends post Instagram stories demanding a "fair education system" without mentioning merit-based entrance exams.

[Shrirang Umbarkar @Shrirang_4u]

When this all is done, you’ll realise it was all nothing but a distraction fuelled by your emotions.

People must realise, they are being used in ways that they don’t even imagine or believe.

Stop taking sides, see the bigger picture! Even reel enemies are real friends!

3,541 crore rupees scam has been exposed by CAG in Maharashtra and it is not even a news, let alone any debates.

Welcome to the corrupted land of Hindutva

[Shrirang Umbarkar @Shrirang_4u]

India is so cooked!

People are now asking for pure petrol at higher rates to beat the consequences of forcefully imposed e20.

What a masterstroke wherein citizen have to unwillingly choose either inflation or sub-standard essentials.

#Shame

Officials sold fortified government rice bought at ₹4,000 per quintal to ethanol plants for just ₹2,320, pocketing a massive ₹1,160 Cr scam: Dainik Bhaskar

[Anand Ranganathan @ARanganathan72]

Dear @narendramodi and @nitin_gadkari, I urge you to heed science, reason, and the concerns of ordinary Indians.

Here, I explain why India’s E20 policy hurts vehicle owners, water resource, and the environment; and helps the politician-middleman, the sugar, and the liquor lobby:

Sequence of Events :

> VEDANTA group raises objections in Adani take over of JayPee Group including the Buddh International Circuit F1 Track

> Approaches Court Challenging it

> Within weeks, ED comes knocking and raids VEDANTA group.

One of India’s premier law enforcement agency is now working for a shady businessman and clearing any hurdles for him by arm twisting others.

As always, the country has accepted that this is the new normal.

[Roshan Rai @RoshanKrRaii]

Today ED has raided Anil Agarwal’s Vedanta Group.

Cute coincidence na 😊
