Don’t Blame People For Your Misfortune

[Satya Nadella @satyanadella]

Any pursuit of superintelligence has to be grounded in the core principle that if the AI we build is not helping humanity and under human control, it's not worth pursuing.

We also need to accelerate and spread the benefits of AI, such that they are diffused broadly across countries, communities, and companies. This requires a frontier ecosystem in which both closed and open-source models can thrive.

And for firms, it’s imperative that they retain full control over their unique and tacit knowledge. Every organization should be able to build its own continuous learning loop/hill climbing machine, without becoming dependent on any one model provider, and have the ability to embed its own knowledge into models and weights they control.

So, in this context, we welcome the research, focus, and deliberate pacing needed to get alignment right as the design goal. We also welcome ideas like "embedded evaluators" and the broader efforts to develop the mechanisms to make this more than just talk.

The key is that this cannot be controlled by a handful of entities, but must have broad representation across the ecosystem, countries, and fields, including academia.

This is the approach we are taking: broad access and choice at every layer of the AI stack; enterprise control of learning loops and models; and the “Code of Conduct” that underlies our own first party MAI models that we’ll publish tomorrow for public consultation.

Dr. Pratosh at IISc Bengaluru tells his students that rapid advances in AI are commoditizing intellectual labour.

He raises an unsettling question: if companies stop recruiting on campus in the next 5–10 years—even at India’s top universities—what will the purpose of a university education be ?

“You just said that 10% doesn’t seem an unreasonable estimate that AI could kill all humans”

“Yes”

“Wow… oh my God.”

@vicderbyshire speaks to Nobel Prize Winner and so-called ‘Godfather of AI’ Geoffrey Hinton about predictions by an Anthropic researcher that there’s a more than 10% chance AI could kill all humans within a decade.

Former Anthropic employee Jacob Coxon says the AI industry is "gambling with our lives." He tells Anderson what he finds "most scary is if AI is used to make itself more intelligent" and warns these companies are "compelled to race toward building a deadly technology."

One year ago, Bengaluru couple Jasper Paul and Therisa Gopi welcomed Ada, a tiny miracle who changed their world forever.

Adoption didn’t just give them a child. It transformed their hearts, their home, their lives.

Every smile, every giggle, every little discovery reminded them that love isn’t born, it’s chosen.

“Ada is smart, curious, and the cutest little kid. We are truly blessed,” Jasper shared on IG.

This story isn’t just about becoming parents. It’s about the quiet magic of love, hope, and family.

Merry Xmas everyone! 🌟It’s a season of good cheer, of reflection and hope. Here is to peace, harmony, good health and happiness. (Video below: a chapel in Mumbai opens Christmas carols with the national anthem🇮🇳). Joy to the world!⭐️🎄

Kudos, Nikhil Naz, for exposing the farce that was Lionel Messi's India tour.

The cost of this tour was Rs. 120 crore.

At the same time, India's national football league stands suspended because nobody is willing to shell out Rs. 35 crore.

1) AI was a bubble 1 month ago.
2) Then suddenly M7 firms started investing in India.
3) The AI Bubble got over due to India's growth story.

On a more serious note: if Msft invests 20Bn$ in India, it is only because it sees a potential to make 100Bn$ from India.

Lesson to investors: pick MSFT & friends.

To be clear:

1.) This is NOT an annual fee. It’s a one-time fee that applies only to the petition.

2.) Those who already hold H-1B visas and are currently outside of the country right now will NOT be charged $100,000 to re-enter.

H-1B visa holders can leave and re-enter the country to the same extent as they normally would; whatever ability they have to do that is not impacted by yesterday’s proclamation.

3.) This applies only to new visas, not renewals, and not current visa holders.

It will first apply in the next upcoming lottery cycle.

I am committing INR 1 Cr to find Bangalore Choke-Points via Google Maps & AL.

11 km → 2.15 hours in Bangalore Traffic on Saturday late night!

I was stuck at one choke-point at ORR, where I spent 100 mins struggling to understand why there is no traffic-light or cop here!

But I don’t want one more “Bengaluru Traffic Memes or Rant”. I WANT TO FIX IT.

Very recently, in April 2025, Google Maps started sharing "Road Management Insight". It's a city-level data in Big Query format.

Using Google Data and Satellite Imagery, we can list down all the choke-points & their exact timings in a month. For the traffic department to work on those areas specifically.

I am willing to spend INR 1 Crore on this project by funding: 1-2 senior ML/AI engineers. And providing budget for using Google Maps API calls, Satellite Imagery & GPUs

I will start this project, when BTP/BBMP: Open their raw feeds or API access AND names a team, committed to acting on the insights we generate.

🙌 How can you help right now?

1. TAG anyone you know in the Bangalore Traffic Office, BBMP or the Traffic Commissioner’s office, let this hit the right inbox.

2. ML/AI folks: comment "IN", if you can work along part-time to end this menace

3. Every commuter who’s sick of bleeding time: comment or share. More noise -> faster response.

Bengalore is India’s tech future; and people making it happen deserve MUCH better.
