The truth of this

@thevirdas Having one of these that works perfectly, another which is being used with the 'weight' of a third one, which has had its handles repaired multiple times in Bhogal, and has a dent from when you dropped it on the floor at age twelve learning to make daal.

We cannot consider #AI to be morally neutral. In reality, every technical tool embodies choices and priorities through what it measures, ignores, and optimizes, and how it classifies people and situations. Ethical discernment cannot be limited to asking whether we are using a system for good or bad purposes. It must also examine how that system is designed and what vision of the human person and society is embedded in the data and models that guide it. #MagnificaHumanitas

If the matter had been heard urgently, we would have been very surprised.

Is anyone surprised?

@moefcc That this is being done in violation of constitutional and statutory rights of #IndigenousPeoples #Adivasis #ForestDwellers & riding roughshod over their right to #FreePriorInformedConsent just adds insult to injury.

Even as we're melting in one of the worst summers in memory, & dreading a deficit monsoon, possible #Drought & food shortages, the @moefcc Ministry of Forest Clearance is wiping out our country's forest cover like a greedy toddler in a candy store.
#WTF

@MrPitbull07 Loki made a low- key error.

@RShivshankar It is vulgar, mysoginistic, and just plain embarassing how this nonsense about Meloni Melody is being propagated by the Indian #GodiMedia.
She is the President of Italy, a woman who is Head of State. And also married. Stop it. Just stop this chauvinism. Yuk.

@PTI_News Please stop this nonsense @RahulGandhi Come on, you're better than this.

[Shomona Khanna @alterlaw]

@TheTribhuvan Very well said.
However, there is one error - you describe @tavleen_singh as "a journalist."

[Shomona Khanna @alterlaw]

@tavleen_singh Yet again, you reveal your very boring, very old angst again the Gandhi family, and Rahul in particular.
Write a book or something, don't waste your golden years being bitter.
