Let us please talk more about mental health in the AI community. I was shocked and reminded of this by the sad and tragic death of this young colleague with so much talent.
Many of the people in our community are likely on the spectrum; ADHD, autism, Asperger’s and so on. This rich neural diversity is likely responsible for great progress in AI, but these people, including myself, are also very vulnerable.
AI used to be a small community, where universities provided shelter. But, now, the stakes are very high. There is huge competition among AI corporations in the AI race leading to routine mergers and reorgs, which cause great uncertainty and disruption. Stressed executives apply pressure and pass the stress down to the ICs.
Researchers no longer enjoy the freedom to publish at most corporations, which is a huge change to what they did before. I’m not judging whether this is good or bad, just that it is a huge change.
Researchers get paid a lot. They are sometimes told by managers to go on the job market to ascertain their value before applying for promotion, they are forced to sign 6-month to 1-year non-competes and notice periods to be able to accept a deserved promotion. This appears to me as a modern form of feudalism. Put simply, people are treated just as any other resource, as stuff. The financial stakes are very high for everyone.
Many AI scientists are now media stars. They enjoy huge media exposure, and thousands of followers in social media, but many crave more fame.
The potential for huge negative or positive impact also raises the stakes. AI ICs often see themselves as game pieces in a game among nations and corporations that is fraught with uncertainty and power trips. It is hard to tell right from wrong because laws often lag behind.
Working in AI is a privilege. I repeat, it is a huge privilege. Yet, when people suffer depression, endure micro-aggressions, or get suicidal thoughts, it doesn’t feel like any of the privileges matter.
If you’re feeling any of this, please find a therapist. It may take a few tries, and it may take time. It is worth it. Take it from one of your colleagues who has benefited a lot from PTSD therapy. I believe it has made me a more productive researcher, a more effective collaborator, and someone who appreciates work-life balance and differences in working styles. Please use the help that exists proudly, you’re not alone - you are special and you are loved.
Rest in peace, Suchir Balaji. Thank you for everything you gave us ❤️

If you're a Muslim in India, young or old, and have the audacity to expose fake news mostly emanating from the ruling party ecosystem, and question the ruling establishment, sadly you have a target on your back. This complaint against @zoo_bear is bogus and motivated.
Pharma body says Centre only disrupting local life saving drug manufacture by holding up raw material from China( accounts for 70% raw material) at airports during this health emergency. Whatever Modi govt’s rhetoric, on ground it only hurts ordinary Indians!
ICMR has failed us in giving right direction/leadership during biggest health crisis India has ever faced.
But then it's research organisation & not Public Health Organisation. MoHFW still doesn't feel need for Public Health Cadre or Organization.
Babus can't manage outbreak.

While one cannot deny that Kejriwal Govt has not lived up to the expectations in handling #Corona in Delhi, the opposition should join hands and help Delhi save it's äs$ rather than Tweeting Hindi Swarmala.
So much respect for all the celebrities tweeting #BLACK_LIVES_MATTER. It takes courage to bring your cowardice to the fore when you tweet for American lives but can’t tweet for Indian lives.
Every battle is won by humility, not brute force. The Miami police outclassed every police force in the world by apologising before the angry protesters, before cameras, before the world. The crowds began to cry. Violence stopped. Can our police force not think like this?
Kodnani & Lalchandani - Two Drs.
One supervised killings while being Minister under CM Modi. Another calls Muslim patients terrorists, wants them to be thrown in Jungle/Solitary Confinement, misusing her authority as Dean, Medical College under CM Yogi. Not all Doctors are Saints
India has asked china to withdraw it's force from ladak otherwise they will snap internet service in aksai chin which can be extended to mainland china!!!!
This is what they r best at 😜😜.
Planning to go home but scary to face 2G of so called digital India !!!
